Foamed, this chard won't run and offers greater resistance over time.
Many of you asked us for a teal shape. So we listened. This caller is filled with polyurethane foam. So, even if a few steel balls hit it while you've just done a spot shot on your stretch of water, it won't sink. And a form that doesn't sink means you don't have to replace it during or at the end of the season. With this model, your hitch lasts longer.
A duck shape designed to maximize the chances of attracting ducks
This teal shape has been entirely developed by our teams. It boasts the best color finish of our entire range of teals, because our aim at Solognac is to encourage encounters between ducks and waterfowl, by shortening the distance between the hunter and the bird. The teal plays an essential role, thanks to its silhouette, which is as close as possible to the real thing, and its texture, which imitates a duck's feathers.
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 chop and small waves. Also, given that these chard boats can stay in place for months on the water, our duck-hunting engineers have chosen a tough thermoplastic main component for greater durability in the face of climatic hazards and seasonal changes. 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.
