Born and raised in Minnesota, Greg has been winter spearing and carving decoys for pike since he was a kid. An Air Force career kept him away from the sport for several years, until being stationed in Alaska in 1992. Happy to find pike plentiful and spearing a legal method for pike fishing in Alaska, he immediately resumed carving decoys and the pursuit of pike from the darkhouse.

Each decoy is carved and painted freehand, using no mechanical means of reproduction. So though similar, each is a unique, individual piece. All decoys are fully functional, working models. Each one is balanced and tank tested to insure optimum swimming characteristics.

Decoys are available in Presentation Grade or Standard Grade. Presentation Grade decoys, have more detailed carving and paint schemes, are more “realistic” and could be for display or decorative purposes. Standard grade decoys are more for everyday use, ones you won’t mind knocking around your tackle box, or if they get a few pike teeth marks in them. Presentation decoys are available in styles made to represent a specific type of fish or specie. Standard decoys may be ordered as specific specie or as the basic model D-1. Model D-1 is a contrasting head and body color, such as the classic Red/White. Decoys range in length from 6 to 8 inches, with smaller or larger ones available on request.

Delivery times will vary based on availability of on hand stock. As each decoy is individually made, delivery times will also vary based on type, complexity and quantity ordered. Typically a Standard grade model D-1 can be completed and ready for delivery in 7-10 days in quantities of five or fewer. Presentation grade or custom request delivery times are as mentioned, variable based on type, size, complexity and quantity. Custom requests are welcome.

Pricing for standard D-1 models in sizes between 6 and 8 inches is $ 15.00 each. Standard Grade specie specific decoys are $ 25.00 each.

Presentation Grade decoys start at $ 35.00 for a 7 to 8 inch decoy. Larger or custom request prices will be determined and quoted at time of request.
