Speed Decoys

[Feathers and Fins]

Ive thought about posting this for some time and just never got around to it. Our best time has been 14dz in 12 minutes but that took 4 guys. My brother and I typically hunt together and still only takes 20 to 30 minutes to put out that many.

To do this you have to have 12 slot decoy bags it won’t work without them.

Ok so here is what you need to do; get decoy line at least 300ft of it, I use tarred cord 250lb test.

1. Pull off 15 yards of it and attach a 1pnd weight to the end.
2. Tie a dropper loop 18 inches long and put a 2/0 snap swivel on it
3. Attach decoy
4. Put the anchor in the first slot and then put the line in it making sure the loop goes around the bottom of the keel to the decoy.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, about 3ft apart and make sure you put the decoy beside the first on the line.
6. When you get to the end of the line pull off another 15yrds and tie on another 1pns weight.

Now when you get to your spot put a friend on shore ( if by yourself put a steak in the ground and wrap 2 to 3 weights around it now line 2 to 3 bags on the side of you boat and pull out. The decoys will launch out of the bag. Repeat steps till all decoys are deployed.

Other options are to attach a 5lb claw weight to the line with a bungee cord for jerk string set. This same method works in shallow water just pull the decoys out as you walk .
