Pro-Grade Teal

Greenhead Gear's Pro-Grade Teal decoys address the specific demands of early-season waterfowling and backcountry puddle jumping. Teal demand rapid setups in skinny water, and dragging oversized mallard blocks into these spots is often counterproductive. With a scaled-down body profile that mirrors real green-wings or blue-wings, these floaters allow you to pack two dozen birds into the space normally occupied by six standard mallards, making them an immediate asset for walk-in hunters navigating dense marsh.

The carving detail leans on anatomical accuracy, utilizing multiple head positions and body postures—including surface feeders and active swimmers—to break up the synthetic uniformity that makes pressured birds flare. Construction relies on heavy-duty polyethylene fitted with GHG's 60/40 Dura-Keel system. This weighted keel design self-rights consistently when thrown and keeps the decoy riding naturally without unnatural bobbing in light chop. The multi-coat paint scheme holds up through standard swamp grit, though prolonged abrasion in unslotted mesh bags will eventually buff down the high-wear edges on the bill and tail.

Because of their small footprint, these are not tools for long-range visibility on big open reservoirs or heavy tidal currents. They are built for tight oxbows, flooded rice, and small potholes where birds finish close and examine the spread on their final pass. Against comparable budget teal, the Pro-Grade models distinguish themselves through posture variety and dependable keel balance, delivering solid marsh performance without demanding boutique-grade prices.
