I'm sure he can answer your perch jerkin' questions.

Just some East Texas bass fisherman.

There you have it. WHen you get to where you hunt you just untie the knot, unclip the carbiner and chunk 'em out. WHen you go to throw them they throw really easily because the weight and the decoy are together, when they hit the water the decoy line slides thru the hole in the keel and the crimp sl...

When I get ready to hunt I tie an overhand knot in the bundle of decoy lines to prevent the decoys from wrapping up too much and to make them easier to handle. I can carry 4 doz decoys slung over my shoulders or 6 doz on the racks of my ATV. This rig works great for boat hunters. http://www.refugefo...

Here is a closeup of the carbiner full of loops.

Then you clip all the loops together, I use cheapo aluminum carbiners in bright colors so I can find them if I drop one. I put 2 doz dekes per carbiner. This is how I store them...

Now you have finished rigging a decoy.

The tag end then goes into the crip sleeve and the sleeve is crimped shut. The tag end sticking out of the crimp sleeve needs to be trimmed flush with the crimp sleeve to prevent snags...

Then you continue to pass the tag end of the line thru the loop 2-3 more times until you make it back around to the crimp sleeve...

Now on the end of the line opposite the weight you form a loop. I will detail how I do it with pictures as it's easier than with words. Here is the start, you put a crimp sleave on the end of the line and form an overhand knot making about a 2-3" wide loop... http://www.refugeforums.com/refuge/...

Next you run the end of the line thru the hole in the keel...

Next you must cut the line to the desired length be it 3' or 10' I don't think it matters. Then you need to prep the decoy keel. You want a big enough hole that the decoy line will slide thru it easily but small enough that the crimp sleeves don't get hung in it. I find a 1/4" hole is about ide...

First you attatch the weight to the line with a crimp sleave. Make sure you trim the tag end of the line off completely. If you don't these tags will catch on the other decoy lines and give you headaches. If you use an egg sinker just stick the line thru the sinker and attatch a crimp to it to keep ...

NEW LINK First, the required materials. You need 300-400# monofilament line available as leader material or thru longline suppliers like SNL. Second you need some weights, they can be strap weights, egg weights or bank sinkers. All will work fine and with strap weights you can wrap up the decoys in...

I don't know about the boats but I could sure use a pile of birds like that about now.

In all seriousness Swing, I think Dances with Waders can take care of your freshwater questions.

Swingy Thingy, this is a real fishing forum for real fishing, none of which takes place in freshwater.

Next question...

Yeah, Brad, how about a fishing board?

I went by the local laundry. The nice lady there said she might could slip me about six inches of...

There goes the neighborhood.
