ABSTRACT:
A self-ballasting waterfowl decoy which is also self-righting includes a floating body in the form of a closed hollow shell representing a waterfowl, a ballast tank attached to the underside of the decoy by a connecting rib, with the elongated hollow tubular ballast tank having at one end an opening below the waterline for the passage of water and at the opposite end an air duct for the escape of air, and includes a long metal tube within the ballast tank. In the event that a decoy tossed out onto a body of water lands on its backside, the metal tube provides just enough weight to tip the decoy upright and thereby providing for a self-righting decoy.
