Posted May 3, 20241 yr Community Expert comment_4115642 Hi all. Any one use an A1 decoy light weight magnet are they any good and are the motors substantial enough to take dead birds. Only use one for laid barley seem a good idea less weight. Tia.

May 3, 20241 yr comment_4115653 if I had any complaints it would be the wing screws, the plastic heads on some of the screws became loose and started turning when tightening, I just replaced them with some off ebay.
May 3, 20241 yr Community Expert comment_4115660 Hello, just to add with my Magnet that came from A 1 i did find on soft ground the spikes did loosen up a bit due to the rotating so i found some flat bar and cut out a square the same size as the middle spike and which i used like a Cross which helped stabilize the rotary
