Depends on what kind of decoy (keel configuration - tie-off capabilities) and depth of water. Lotta keel designs don't function real well for long single-line rigging.

If you're not used to gang-rigging long lines and anchors.....it can be a pre-dawn circus. 'Bout like trying to rig a jerk cord in 30' of water.

Really long line. Like 20 feet per decoy. Depends on where you hunt though.
