So I just got some mallards I want to try Texas rigging on but I don't want to spend a ton of money on supplies to do it. I was thinking of getting some clear or black weed eater line (0.6 or thicker) cutting that into 4 foot sections then just takin some old golf balls and screwing through those to attach to the line and use as weights. They weigh about 1.5 oz, so I figure that should be enough weight. Any other ideas?
What you say will work, just depends where youre floating your mallards, in a pond with no wind sure the golf balls will hold but any good amount of wind or current/tide it'll start pulling and you'll be chasing decoys. calm water it should be fine.
Rig em right system

Any other ideas what I could use for weights?
Just starting my DIY rig. First couple heads done. Hopefully I'll be ready for January.

I made some last season but haven't had the chance to use them yet. I got plastic shot glasses (solo cup style but small) and some slightly larger ones and filled them with concrete and stuck a bent piece of copper wire in it. I was thinking about dipping them or spraying them with some kind of sealer but that's about it. They were pretty cheap to make as a bag of concrete mix at HD was only six bucks and the wire was scrap I had. A little bulky but I think they will work good.Quote:
