Realistic duck shape designed to maximize chances of attracting ducks
This "plastic" is a form of duck developed entirely by our teams, because we started from the observation that there were no realistic chard shapes available at an affordable price in Europe. Our aim at Solognac is to encourage encounters between ducks and waterfowl, by shortening the distance between hunter and waterfowl. This is why the realism of this teal duck (in terms of color, volume and position) plays such a key role.
The steps involved in designing this teal chard
This shape took many months to develop. It all began with the work of a woodcarver, who brought the first prototype to life. This was followed by 3D modeling, and various adjustments to volume and attitude, in order to create a true-to-life blette. Various phases of colorimetry and 3D texturing of the feathers, punctuated by field tests, resulted in a shape with ultra-realistic colors.
Realism of form: an essential factor
When you're hunting from a barrel, hut or gabion, it's vital that the pack is as massive, complete and realistic as possible to attract wild ducks. Thanks to this accessory, the pack formed (we also recommend placing a few of these chard among your decoys) maximizes your chances of landing.
Why do the characteristics of this teal shape make it an indispensable accessory?
The keel of this shape is weighted to guarantee optimum buoyancy in the face of splashing water and small waves. Also, given that these chard can remain in place for months on the pond, our engineers, passionate about waterfowl hunting, have chosen a resistant thermoplastic main component for greater resistance to the vagaries of the weather and the change of season. Last but not least, the properties of the paint resist possible degradation by salt water.
A hard-wearing appeal designed to withstand the seasons
In response to feedback from our users - hutters, gabioners and tonnayres - the plastic's resistance has also been designed to cope with transport conditions (car, boat, bag, etc.) and storage conditions during and after the hunting season. This element, essential for all good waterfowlers, has been worked on by our teams to guarantee the shape's optimum lifespan. It also features a matt paint finish to prevent it from glistening on a full-moon night.
