    Have done this with a bit of rope through a brick attached to a Caribeaner for the line to run through. Costs nothing and works

    Keep it simple- hand me a model 7 7mm08 and I'll be right

    Prices of motorized decoys are getting crazy but the Higdon pulsators are amazing hassle free ripple makers. you can make your own less hassle free but still cheap by sticking a bilge pump under a decoy and running a cord back to a battery. the Old rippler decoys like the mojo ripplers arent bad, not as good as a pulsator but also a lot cheaper for not bad ripples.

    Might try attaching a bit of meat to couple of decoys and see if the eels will do the work for me..
