Texas Rigs and long hikes

Postby ShotgunSP » Mon Nov 14, 2016 2:03 pm

How are you guys toting your texas rigged decoys? I have some public spots that require a good hike, and would like to be somewhat comfortable hauling a few dozen among the group. Bag em? No bag? Other ideas?

My remote deep slough setup,$.02....
Breathable waders, 4 old mallet flambeau decoy(1 drake, 3 hens, the sex card) w/simple smooth lead anchors(wont hang up) in net laundry bag, the regular stuff in a back pack from calls, ammo, gloves, viennas, etc. Movement kicking water no jerk rig, tried that, trouble. Navigate w/ iPhone back up w/compass lil gps. But the key item is the telescopic spin rod to get the decoys back...most of the time . Dog gets the duck rod gets the decoys...Spinnerbait fishing on slow days. Oh, put rebar in water keels so they land right; real pain when they don't. And orange vest for you and dog, lotta idiots in the woods nowadays...

Jet sled. Y'all can probably pile all your gear in one, throw a cover over it to keep it from falling out. Take turns dragging.

+1 for the jet sled. Mine holds dog stand, decoys, and blind bag with a bungee strap.

In case anyone was wondering, you CAN get a Jet Sled and a telescopic fishing rod via Amazon Prime.

Good stuff, keep it coming.

I use giant stiff mesh decoy bag when I cart everything down levees. Put everything in and draw tight. Never have to look back i.e. No one shot Payne problem. Might use in y'all sleds....

i've got an beavertail decoy sled that has a cinchable cover and holds 6 doz regular decoys worth of "stuff".
*forewarning: it doesn't do well on sticky gumbo...most all other surfaces, it slides fairly effortless and can be towed behind 4wheeler.

Experience is a freakin' awesome teacher...

I just throw my texas rigs in a regular mesh decoy bag. X1000 on the Jet Sled.
