Decoy Setup in a field?

What is the best decoy spread for in a field? Jakes? Hens? Strutter? All combined?

i have a hen and a strutting decoy, I usually use both. Sat I had both setup, the flock at first didnt pay alot of attention, after about an hr the boys started to investigate until one took a 3 1/2 shot. 3 yrs ago I had been hunting this big tom for two yrs and he was beating me up. I went to dicks one friday night and spent $60 bucks on a strutting decoy. Sat am he flew into the field off the roost. He faced the decoy puffed up and came in pretty quick. I finally won. Now he struts in my family room everyday!!

i think unless you're real good and after some big toms. 2 hens is the sweet spot. I currently have one sitting/laying and one feeding. tom decoys and even jakes can deter other toms and jakes.

Still trying to answer this question, myself.
