RE: jerk string decoy
I rig mine like this.......I use a bungee cord on one end tied to a stump or stake, or you can use a weight. Then I run my string toward the blind and attach two carry-light decoys on it. The carry-lights have a string catch on the bottom of the keel and I run the string in it then around half the keel and back through the string catch....do the same for the other.
This make the decoys sit sideways. I makes them splash the water as you jerk them.
