Higdon Outdoors XS Splashing Flasher Mallard Drake with Built-In Timer - Multi-Color (Model 53077)

The Higdon Outdoors XS Splashing Flasher Mallard Drake with Built-In Timer brings motion and flash to your spread with a one-two punch that ducks can't ignore. This active mallard drake decoy combines rotating wing movement with an integrated water spray system—both triggered by a built-in digital timer—to simulate a duck stretching and preening right in front of your blind. The dual-action effect is proven deadly when you need to turn heads and draw birds into range.

Built for shallow-water hunting, the XS Flasher works in water as shallow as 10 inches and rides on a textured float designed to blend naturally with muddy water bottoms. The photo-printed wings on top add visual realism, and the compact 12V lithium-ion battery sits recessed inside the decoy body, keeping the profile clean and reducing overall weight compared to earlier Higdon models. An anti-flipping device is included to keep the decoy stable in wind.

Runtime reaches 7 hours on a full charge, and the external quick-charge port gets you back in the field in about 3 hours. You can also add a second battery (sold separately) to double your active time. The decoy comes with a charger and operating instructions, and Higdon partners with Ducks Unlimited, so a portion of your purchase supports wetland conservation. For those who want to run multiple decoys from a single remote, the XS Flasher is compatible with Higdon's remote and receiver system (sold separately).
