   How long should a decoy line be?

   • Five- or six-pound balls are about right. Any less and you risk your line drifting on windy days. Each decoy must be rigged with a line that will be used to attach it to the main line. Don’t make the mistake of having this line too short, as dogs won’t be able to swim over it. I prefer five or six feet of sinking line.

   Dec 22, 2020 · One example is to use a long line (out to more than 75 yards) of decoys on one edge of your spread, which guides incoming ducks like a runway. When you lay the long line out somewhat offset to the wind (rather than straight downwind), this J-hook or fish hook design is a very visible spread, and thus very effective.
