Give your Hard Core Decoys an Upgrade!
Powered by Stone Road Media
As waterfowlers, we are always looking for a way to increase our efficiency and effectiveness. As any hard core duck or goose hunter will attest, having the ability to easily adapt or adjust to any situation or condition will help to ensure your packing out a full lanyard of birds, and not just unspent shot gun shells.
One of the easiest changes that a waterfowl hunter can make to their spread is to covert from the “standard” decoy rigging method to the Texas Rig or “Quick Rig” decoy line and weight set up and here’s why. To us, nothing is more frustrating than having to make multiple location changes during a trip to the marsh. However, if you want to kill ducks and geese, it is important to be as close to where they want to be as possible. We have made moves as short as 50 yards, and have had that make all the difference.
In the past, making multiple moves was nothing short of a headache. Contently having to wrap your decoys up one at a time, just move to the next location and possibly do it all over again! Repeating this process over and over again is not only a pain in the rear, it is also a time killer. When we hit the marsh, we’re there to put ducks on the ground, and it is very hard to do that when the majority of your time is spent dealing with your decoy line. Inevitably, as always happens we begin to take short cuts to “save time”. We find ourselves not completely wrapping our decoys, or trying to make a move by holding the strap weights in our hands only to reach our destination to find a knot so large it would be Russ Griswold envious.
