The end of the cord at the bottom end of the weight is attached to a hook means. The other end of the cord is connected via a string or other suitable means to the bottom of the decoy. When in use the weight slides down the cord and rests on top of the hook means. The length of cord and size of the weight will vary depending on the size and type of decoys being used. When the decoy is being transported the string and cord are wound around a stabilizing fin provided on the bottom of the decoy and retained in place by the hook means. This invention prevents the tangling of decoy weights and rope associated with prior art systems. | |
