Had a few questions about my brant rig, part of it is y-boards, basically floating silhouettes. Been using this for over 15 years in various forms and species.

Can you find the live ones?

A little trivia on these, and my rig..... The patterns were shared with me by David Hagerbaumer from his last personal rig that he has yet to make. Dave doesn't share this stuff, so I was pretty honoured. The paint pattern is my homage to the "Riefel rig".

Very best,

Ian

They look good Ian. I have 8 of those factory made ones out of the east coast. Used them one year then once we had enough carrylites stuck to just those. Thought about making some other species silos to use them for something else.

My dream for the future big boat is carrylites and handcarved brant all on the shelf of the boat or in 12 slots, all clipped onto the longlines ready to go. We'll see if I can accomplish that by next year.

Any advice where to get Brant decoys?

Good luck on that one, Knutsons have them but they are crazy expensive! Lots of guys paint up some snow goose decoys or you'd have to find somebody that has quit hunting them. If ya wait a few years there will be lots in estate sales as the average age of Brant hunters is climbing rapidly. K

Looks good Ian, but white zap straps??? Honestly don't let Field Marshall see that, he'll be throwing camo duct tape your way ;)
Nice setup for sure though
