In business since 1924, Carry-Lite Decoys is the oldest decoy manufacturer in the world. The patented, world-famous Carry-Lite Aqua-Keel design was the first to create a self-ballasting water keel for duck decoys. Carry-Lite expanded its line in 1994 to include the Easy-Fold Turkey decoy constructed of a durable rubberized material, and in 2005 added the popular Pretty Boy and Pretty Girl turkey decoy system. The mature Tom turkey decoy and his submissive hen created a trend that is in full swing in the turkey hunting industry. The Carry-Lite Deer Decoy continues to be the most realistic deer decoy in its growing market.

Carry-Lite was the first to mold plastic decoys, make full-body geese with legs and make a one-piece goose shell decoy. The company put legs on various decoys, used white plastic cheek patches on Canada goose decoys and was the first to make a water keel that holds water for ballast.

Carry-Lite Decoys are the most detailed and realistic, because they are hand-painted and designed by avid waterfowl hunters with help from wildlife artists.

Their only real competition is Mother Nature.
