    Default Herters Open Water rig

    So I am probably getting out of my club in the OBX and will likely be unloading my decoy rig. I have seen the insane prices for Herters on EBay and the like and am curious what yalls thoughts are on trying to sell a rig like this.
    A- would you keep the rig
    B- would you break up and sell
    C- sell the whole rig as one group

    6 dozen 72 cans burlapped
    6 dozen 72 bluebills burlapped
    1 dozen 72 black ducks burlapped
    1 dozen 63 coots burlapped
    1 dozen 92 Canada’s burlapped
    4 92’s painted as Swans

    Cans and bluebills are run on long lines and stored in slotted bags
    Everything else Texas rigged and stored in slotted bags.

    How many of you guys are still running Herters??

    Do you not have room at your house to keep them? I’d have a hard time selling them off, unless you have quit duck hunting all together. Might be a tough sell to sell the whole rig, unless you had a fellow club member wanting to buy them. If you split the rig up and sell I’d be interested in some of it. Herter’s sell like hot cakes, they are tough as nails.

    I quit using Herters years ago, they are so heavy, heads kept breaking off, they were old and brittle. For open water, like OBX, nothing finer than Herters and the way they ride.

    All I run are Herter's Ultimates (the ones with the hard plastic coating) updated with Autumn wings heads and stainless steel hardware. The burlapped Herters are very heavy but ride well.

    I think you'd be way better off selling them in small lots.

    I'd likely take the geese and a dozen cans depending on price, too.

    I have a few dozen of the burlapped and they are heavy. Still, I would look at getting the blacks.
