manufactured in Jacksonville back in the 70's....one of the first companies to offer stuff like Wigeon and Bluewing Teal?..

I remember riding my bike there and begging them for "seconds"......the guy running the shop always told me...."son we don't do "seconds" here"....I'm sure he was a duck hunter and had a MIGHTY rig of the "not firsts" that came off the line....

If anyone is interested I've got five pairs of Bluebills that won't be making the migration South....pristine condition.....I'll sell em all at once or as pairs....

If you're interested contact me at nuvan@comcast.net .....

My dad hunted over Trends... can you put up a photo?

Barry...here's a couple of shots of one of the pairs......






I'm not sure that these have ever been in the water......I got them in while on a trip in Maine 12 years ago and I know I never put them in the water.....if they have een used its only lightly....

Somewhere I still have a Wigeon, Pintail and BlueWing and a pair of Mallards that I bought when I was still in High School, (which was so long ago our Prom Theme was FIRE). The Teal and the Wigeon are still in original paint....the Pintail was repainted ad the Mallards were re-done as Mottled Ducks........until the last few years when highly detailed decoys became common place the Trend body shapes were some of the most accrurate on the market...and to this date its tough to beat their Wigeon profile.....

Very cool!... I've got a Canadian goose

No kidding......Ididn't know they had made those.....don't recall ever seeing then when I went to their place and wondered around wondering how I was going to escape with a dozen Wigeon on my bike........might have seen them but I was a Central Florda boy at the time and had never seen a WILD Canada Goose so it wouldn't have been something that I would have been looking for.....

I'd like to see it I you have a picture.....
