I made something cool.  You should watch it and make one for yourself.   :chuckle:

I've  run plenty of shakers but that is money.
How do you keep the decoys apart??

I made my own decoy spreader rig that matches a Motionduck rig.

That's a pretty cool setup.

Looks like it would work.  I would probably run some 200lb downrigger braid.  Like $10 or $12 a spool at Wal Mart.
 It would make for an easier retrieve for the unit.

This is a really cool set up.

I bet it works great.

Dude! I’ll be making me one of those soon! I love thinking outside the box and DIY stuff. That Requacktor of yours will work! I remember using swan decoys (white garbage bags held down by dirt clods) in my field spreads 30 years ago (got some VHS films of that 😂), gutted battery powered RC cars placed inside decoys (before battery powered was outlawed) and homemade wooden wing flappers. Good stuff! 😁

Cant wait until next season to see people making and using them.  I like DIY stuff and coming up with new ways of doing things. Especially if I can use existing parts or for a lot cheaper.  Had so many people tell me I should have patented this.  I probably should have looked into it but in my mind it was a bunch of parts that already exist not really a new invention.  Oh well.  We will prbobly see it on shelves soon and everyone can laugh at me.   :chuckle:

Nice rig, neighbor. And you should patent it!

Really cool! That works great!
Wife and I liked to jump shoot ‘The Potholes’. We would each carry one decoy in our backpacks when ‘everything’ was open. Hers with a pyramid weight and long string to toss and retrieve, mine with a broken off fishing pole (1 eye) and casting reel and sliding bank sinker. We would eat lunch by a pond, toss them out and I would wiggle the string once in a while to get some action. Worked good.

These work well.  We always used a pulley on stake near us so line was submerged and hidden.   I know these rigs in texas had a name but its been 20 years so can’t remember it.

Looks great!. You better patent this or at least patent your idea, [Intellectual property]  before some big name duck hunting company finds out and steals your idea/work. Just  :twocents:

You are right but it seems so weird to try to patent something that I literally made with already patented parts.   :chuckle:
