Decoy weights

[Cdn-Redneck]

How much weight is best for field decoys? Looking at buying a mold, I have bought pre-rigged setup ups and have about 100lbs of lead that needs to get used up. I guess 4 oz should be plenty.

Did you mean floaters?

I use 2 10oz weights... but I rig up 6 decoys on one string. Plus I tend to find them out on the river banks.

4oz/decoy should be just fine.

depends what kind of current. Where are you hunting? I use a different size muffin tins and pour my own with stainless cotter pins for the eyes.

I am just thinking for flooded fields probably 18" deep at most, floater decoys.

I use 4 oz fishing cannon balls for all water, cheaper than "decoy weights"

I've been using pencil lead that I have left over from fishing season for about 4 years now. Easy to use, just wrap it around a philips screwdriver shaft and cut it to the weight you want. Four 4 oz weights per 1 lb coil at about $4 per coil. They hold well against a flood tide.

Whatever you decide,figure out how you are going to wrap the anchor line and secure the weight so anchor line won't unravel and get all tangled up and *&&^^%$#@&*)(O(&*%$ darn!!

Experience is something you get,just after you needed it.
