I used the smallest paper coffee cups I could find, filled with cement and a fence staple in the top. When the cement dries, tear the paper cup off, paint black and tie to decoys with that black tar string
used on shrimp nets.
I had 12 dozen decoys at my blind. I left them out and picked up between splits
and at the end of the season with no issues.
I hunted in salt to brackish water, about 1 ft. deep.
Towards the end of the second split, when the ducks got weary of decoys, I would cut the amount of decoys in half almost every day. By the last couple days, I only had half dozen or so left.
75% of my decoys were pouldoos. The more I added over the years, the better the ducks decoyed.
