Thread: Getting movment into your pond decoy spread

how do you stop the line the eel has from getting tangled around your other decoy lines, could easily turn into a tangled up mess that takes hours to sort.

What about a little submersible pump of some description?

Make more movement then aye


Very short line works well,the main spread are anchored in a group and the old huckery ones have the hooks on are just biffed in any where when things get quiet. It looks great when a southerley blowing and ya have a decoy headn north real fast.Great entertainment for the kids too when things get quiet....keeps them amused.And all are released when we leave.
