When u say gear, here's what we've found to work out...
double reed and single reed calling (mixed by the hunters) with flutes. The more noise the better. We have a couple of zinc calls, good but the more tones you produce the better. We have flappers for attention getters, and motorized moving head decoys for added realism.

The best full bodies you can get are the ones that you can carry the most of, but make sure they're flocked. The glare will flare off some birds.

The biggest important factor for decoyed geese, is to make sure you get them in close where you can KILL them. I've seen other people at our lake blow a perfectly good hunt because they shot to early. We try to take most of our shots inside of 30 yds. We use Black Cloud and HeviShot and HeviSteel. The guys who use hevishot use 20ga's and just flat out kill the birds. I use black cloud 2's, it's good, and it's cheaper. The HeviSteel is our new choice. The old days of using drylock BBB's are gone.

Youtube has a bunch of good stuff, check it out by searching goose hunting.
