Strutter or jake deke: your preference

[northms]

I am just curious as to how many people prefer a strutter deke over a jake deke and vise versa.  I hunt a very open cattle farm with hard woods mixed in and the strutter deke has done amazing things for us the last 4-5 years. 

Gobblers being able to see it from long distances has helped bring in quite a few for a fight. I've only had one bird that was scared to come in to the deke it seems, and I am not sure if he didn't see us walking in to our set up to begin with.

What's your preference? Thoughts?

The jake is more portable and seems to work just as well.

No need for the strutter w a 1/4 strut DSD jake.

You'll kill more turkeys over the jake than you will the strutter.  Take that to the bank.

If we are talking high-end decoys, then the DSD jake hands down. If we are talking cheap decoys, where the jake has basically the same body as the hen with a different paint scheme, then I would give the edge to a strutter.

I used a cherokee sports inflatable jake for years until it finally give out and I became a firm believer in a semi strut jake with that guy.

Seems like the jake decoy is overwhelming favorite. Any one else love using the strutters like me?
