Eathen Price in Bellefontaine, OH on a FaceBook listing has 14 bluebill cork decoys for sale for $100. He wouldn't ship them to me. If you're in the area, they could be a good pickup. Joel

John, Since Lawrence has already asked for them, I'll withdraw my request. Joel

Robin, I'm looking for 2 dozen divers, if that is what you have. Please let me know. Thanks. Joel

John. I'll take them and gladly pay for the shipping. Joel

Jim, Check your PM. Joel

John, I need some H weights. Please advise of cost and shipping of 3-5 dozen to Wisconsin. Thanks.

MLBob, Thanks for all of your advice. The Plasti-Dip on the H decoys is a great tip. I assume an 8 oz. weight is plenty. The redhead carved decoy on your Facebook page is fantastic. Hunting buddies have been know to shoot my working spread of Toledo divers, so I'd be afraid to put that decoy in...

Vince, Thanks again for the info on your L.L.Bean decoys. I reviewed your website and discovered your great ability in carving a variety of beautiful decoys. Very impressive! I truly admire your talent. Hopefully you'll find a new gunning partner-maybe an apprentice carver who shoots his dad's...

Vince, Thanks for the information. I think I'll just tie a short loop of decoy line to the keel (as you have done) with an attached swivel and tie the remaining line to an attached H anchor. What material have you applied to the bottom of your Bean decoys?

Vince, Will these clips and swivels work on your Bean keels? [/font] [/font] [/font]

Dave, I appreciate the offer to make some H weights for me and I would supply the beer, but a trip from Wisconsin to Virginia is not on the horizon-unless I could squeeze in a few days of hunting! I'll check on the tarred braided line. I'm also concerned that if I buy 3/16" line that it may be...

Bill, Thanks for your suggestions. I've decided to keep the lines attached to the decoy and an H anchor. Any suggestions where I can purchase some H anchors?

Dave, As an eagle scout and an engineer, I understand your "belt and suspenders" point of view for 2 separate hitches. What decoy line do you recommend? 'm leaning toward Decoy Rigs 3/16" or 5/32" solid braid yarn dyed olive drab nylon. Do you also have a recommendation for H weights? Thanks.

Jeff, I didn't realize the need for slotted dividers to be sewn to the bottom. I have some RigemRight bags with unsewn bottoms, but based on your advice, I'll purchase some new bags from Dave Clark or Diane.

Dani, I'll be using slotted bags with H weights free into the bottom of the slot. Thanks.
