Jerkin'

I tie off to a 4 foot piece hickory or sweetgum sapling. You can push into the mud far enough to keep it from pulling out, even if you have to push it under the water level. it don't spook birds cause they seen a stick in the water before.

I thought you were talking about Duckbums favorite thing to do when he was alone....................

Dutch is right....it is back in the crafts dept. I just make a big loop with it. Take a big split ring - tie one end of your string to the split ring and loop your elastic through the split ring as well. I just take a limb or a stick, jam it in the mud and loop the elastic around it, Forget about all those weights.

Everyone is right ....you can pull it amile and release it....best swimming ducks you ever saw

Bum can pull it a mile too, but doesn't like to release it too often!

my jerk string "recipe".....

1) electrical ext chord "wrapper"......it looks like an "H" sitting on top of an "H".....orange, so i pant it brown.

1) black trot line rope, as long as you'd like it to be....tie off to the double H chord holder

1) 6' of elastic "twine" found in any crafts section tied off to the trot line w/ a "loop" at the end for connecting to stumps/limbs/ect

then take as many dekes as you'd like (i have 3: hen that will be "chased by a drake and a feeder closer to me or further away).....tie off swivel hooks to the dekes --- makes it easy to hook/unhook from the line.

pull tight.......ducks circling, let loose and the "swimmers" swim and the feeder "bobs".

cost about 10 bux total......takes 5 minutes to setup and take down and is light.

gator, who'll do anything to get ya'll to put the batteries down

Friday morning I hunted in a new place and was a guest there was no wind early, so I had to improvise...

in my backpack I always have a check chord for the pup(it also doubles as an outboard pull rope, just in case), a bootlace (cause you never know) and a 24" piece of surgical tubing (just for this purpose).
The pit had a survey stake nearby, but I had a 3' piece of conduit on the wheelie.

5 minutes and "whallah".

Jerk it to the East, and I jerk it to the West.....

[duckkiller]

I rig my jerk cords so that they are in a diamond shape!!!!!!
