The Avian X LCD Half-Strut Jake Turkey Decoy delivers field-proven realism that consistently draws aggressive responses from dominant toms. This decoy features the company's proprietary Dura-Rubber construction and Lifelike Collapsible Design (LCD) technology for maximum portability without sacrificing anatomical accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The LCD Half-Strut Jake stands apart from traditional foam decoys through its flexible Dura-Rubber body that compresses flat for transport yet springs back to full three-dimensional form in seconds. The half-strut posture triggers territorial instincts in mature gobblers, presenting a young jake that appears ready to challenge for breeding rights. This specific body position has proven 40% more effective at drawing strikes than passive feeding poses in field testing.
Key Features
- Dura-Rubber construction resists punctures and maintains shape in extreme temperatures
- Lifelike Collapsible Design (LCD) compresses to 2-inch profile for easy transport
- Half-strut posture with fanned tail triggers aggressive tom responses
- Multi-color paint scheme matches regional turkey variations across North America
- Integrated ground stake system provides stable positioning in field conditions
- Lightweight 3.2-pound design allows single-hunter carry with full gear load

Field performance centers on the decoy's ability to maintain realistic proportions while withstanding the physical demands of turkey hunting. The Dura-Rubber material flexes with wind movement, creating natural motion that enhances the illusion of a live bird. Hunters report consistent success using this decoy in conjunction with hen decoys during peak breeding season, particularly in pressured areas where gobblers have become wary of static decoy spreads.
