decoy cord

[Seymore]

At the risk of sounding like a topwater, I have a question. What's the difference, advantage, disadvantages, of braided decoy line over the no tangle polymer line? Restringing some dekes.

You have to keep an eye on the polymer line for breakage, especially in very cold weather. I had some of my weights break off on some real cold days last year.

I hate that braided stuff all it does is TANGLE!!!

braided, tarred stuff works well

wraps up easy and doesn't tangle

Never tried that...I know last season I went to get some of the dekes out and it could have made a new record for biggest knot!! I just had to put new lines on

how deep are you hunting? if its under 6 feet I use the thinest plactic coated cable you can find, it will add a little weight but not too bad and it never tangles, look at the RIG EM RIGHT weight systems thats how I did mine and I love em. but I have several dzn made up with the tared braid and egg sinkers for my weights I use surgical tubing at the end to secure it around the head or keel. I realy make my own weights too they just look kinda like egg weights. I try not to buy anything..........but thats just me.....

I'm using some 250 lb mono fishing line and Texas rigging mine this year.

I use the tarred trot line from wal-fart. Works good and is cheap.

Works great..............Texas rig'em.....put out and pick up a dozen or two in just a few minutes....hands stay dry.....bought 100 yards on Fleabay for less than 10 dollars.

[MSDawg870]

Anybody still using the scoop weight with a rubber strap?

[quackhead04]

you mean the keel grabber ones 870?

[MSDawg870]

Like this... Probably overkill for field hunting but work like a champ in the river. That's not how I roll mine up though, usually go around the keel, then the neck and on the bill.

[quackhead04]

ah, i got you... i bet they do work good in the river, i will would have killed for them in one spot we hunted last year. we spent more time chasin decoys than huntin it seemed like...
