Find a complete selection of duck decoy weights and anchors from Avery, Ace, and others including scoop, J-type, mushroom, and strap duck decoy anchors. TakeEm highly recommends J-type duck decoy weights as these anchors stay secured to the keel of duck decoy. This prevents the weight from catching things in your boat, or knocking against other decoys when carrying decoys on your back in a bag. Standard 4 oz. decoy weights are fine for standard or life-sized decoys, while 8 oz weights are recommend for magnum or over-sized decoys.

Summary: Choosing the right duck decoy weights and rigging system for the situations you hunt through out the duck season can make life a lot easier and picking your decoys up after the hunt a lot easier.
Important factors to consider when choosing a decoy weight system include versatility, such as will the rigging system you choose work well for setting in very shallow water as well as deeper water if needed. Also, will the weight attachment method to the decoy cause paint wear after several uses.
Typicaly most duck hunters use either a tarred decoy cord or a plastic Tangle Free cord or copy of to rig their decoys. Next either a mushroom style, strap, J-Style, or Tangle Free style weight can be used.
Decoy rigging methods I have used in the past and would recommend to you include: For hunting shallow marshes I think the Tangle Free setup or Tangle Free cord with a J-Style weight is the way to go. I do not recommend using a copy of Tangle Free cord, get the real stuff.
I usually shy away from mushroom and strap weights as they often come loose from decoy keels and become a tangled mess. However, when placing magnum or super magnum decoys in rivers with a faster flow you pretty much have to use heavy strap weight to hold the decoys in place.
If your looking for a no hassle method of setting out and picking up your duck decoys the Rig'em Right decoy anchor system is definately worth taking a close look at. Using a tangle free decoy cord and sliding weights this system is a great idea. As you can see from the photo to the left there is no need to wind the decoy cord around the keel which saves a lot of time when picking up a decoy spread. The weights are 4 ounces which is just right marsh and pothole hunting.
Here's how you can rig your decoys with an adjustable length tarred cord that won't break, along with Ace duck decoy weights.
Last season I stumbled upon a new way to rig my decoys and tested the idea through out the hunting season. With this new method you can easily rig your decoys with a very versatile setup that won’t break your pocket book. The key to this adjustable depth setup is that you can use tough tarred decoy cord it doesn’t require any fancy plastic gadgets that end up breaking.
