What a spinner looks like from the bird's side

Factory spinning-wing decoys are built around two things: motion and contrast. The wings are usually finished with a bright face precisely so they catch light and flash as they turn. That is a deliberate design choice and it is not a bad one.

What contrast buys you

Flash carries. A spinning wing with a high-contrast face is visible a long way off, and that visibility is the whole point of running one.

What some hunters want instead

The trade-off is that up close, a bright rotating blade reads as a blade. Plenty of hunters are happy with that. Others look at their spread and want the wings to look like the bird the rest of the decoy is imitating.

That is the preference Wing Skins are built for — a realistic dove feather pattern on the factory wings you already own, without changing the decoy, the motor, or how you set up.

Wing Skins are designed to improve the visual appearance of compatible factory wings. We do not claim that Wing Skins increase bird attraction, hunting success, or harvest rates.
