Anyone seen or have these yet? I was considering trying these out, but really curious about the weight and paint on them? I can't find a retail place close to Louisville that has any.

I have some of the foam filled super magnums, they look really good, and are not as heavy as I had feared, only slightly more than a non-filled deke. They have them at gander mountain, Uncle Lees, Dunns, and all over here in the Paducah area, since they are made here, I guess that makes seance.

I have 4 doz of the super mags and love them. They are heavier than most decoys but indestructable. The paint holds up well, after two seasons (staying out all season on our lease) showing normal wear, but nothing excessive. I am only upset the price doubled on them this year. Wish I had bought a couple more dozen last year.

We bought 20 dozen last season. A recognizable % of them "collapsed" on the top of the back (some were this way coming out of the box, others did it later). It is as if the foam shrank and sucked the decoy body down. The decoy's head tilts back significantly when this happens.

We never tried to "warranty" them through Higdon but if we werent so lazy, my guess is that they would replace them.

Other than that, the decoys are solid, take stray steelshot like a champ and they hold paint well.
