Just cut the ends off the regular ones and drain the sand out. Sometimes they don't land right and you have to go set them upright. That's about as close as I've found.

Stupid question but just why exactly would you want water keels as opposed to weighted keels.

Smart answer but some folks have to walk in where they hunt and don't need or want the weighted keels.

Academy sports has a brand I think its game winner that is water keel. 1 dozen mallards cost me under 30 dollars

Ding Ding Ding..
Thanks for the info. I was hoping to pay a water keel price rather than having to buy weighted and cut the ends off.

they are noticably lighter when you have a few dozen in the bag and on your back.
I didnt notice this until after I took the picture and the sun was up. Lonely mallard flipped over
