We run all flocked spreads now. Water and field.
Easily get away with painted on water if you do everything else right. Field shooting different ball game unless it’s low light. Quite often get mallards landing in the spread at early arvo on the maize stubble. Bloody expensive these days though.
We went without any flocking for years and still did well.
They seem to hold up well for us, we started off double bagging them but that got old quick. Now they just get packed into the slotted decoy bags, haven’t noticed a lot of wear and we hunt pretty regularly during the season.
All depends on whether you do all the other basics right. Get those down and then look at flocked gear. Buy a dozen a year, doesn’t take long to build up.
