Default RE: decoy string length

Alex014;

Here is the way I have rigged my decoys that may help you to be ready for any water you may come across. I rig my decoys with @ 6' of line and put a snap swivel on the end. I use mainly mushroom anchors that I have added a 1 - 1 1/2" splitring to them. To use them in shallow water, just snap on the weight and go. I made up some 10' and 15' lines that have a ring on one end and a snap on the other end. If you need to set some decoys in deeper water, just unclip the weight, add a 10' line and snap on the weight. For divers, I take off all of the weights and clip the decoys to a long-line. This is a 3/16" line that is @ 120' long with a snap on each end that is anchored front and back. With the 6' droppers on the decoys, a dog or boat can go between the docoys without getting tangled in the longline. This setup allows me to cover any water depth situation.
