After a lot of thought and input I decided to make my own anchors using quick Crete and some 8 ounce styrofoam cups. One idea I had was to use the pieces of aluminum that are used to attach hurricane fence wire to galvanized posts. I was going to use fence staples but they would rust quickly in our salt marsh. I bent it kind of like a cotter pin.

My anchors run from 10 ounces to about 13 ounces. I plan on having at least 4' of 400 lb mono on each one. I also hunt the south side of a shallow open lake and sometimes we can have 2' waves.

I bought some rosco stainless snap swivels that I was planning on putting on the main line and attaching my decoy to the snap to make the storage of 200 plus decoys easier. Iwas going to Texas rig with a loop and a weight on the other end. Now I am thinking about either putting the snap swivel on the loop to attach directly to the decoy with the decoy being "fixed" to the end of the line. Either that or letting the decoy move up and down the line and attaching the line to the weight with the snap swivel.

Any thoughts on one of the 3 methods?

Thanks
Robbie aka Big Hutch
