Homemade TX Rig for decoys

I know several OBers were interested in TX rigging decoys. After buying a couple dozen pre-made TX rigs, I decided to make my own as I recently bought a lot of decoys and didn't want to shell out the $20/dozen the pre-made rigs cost.

All of my decoys came with weights, so instead of buying new egg sinkers I just rolled up the strap weights. I was able to purchase a 100yd spool of 400# line from catchalltackle.com along with the accompanying crimps for around $25 including shipping. This gave me enough line and crimps to rig 50 decoys, which is about what I had left anyway.

Here are some pics of my TX rigs:

If y'all have any questions, let me know. I also didn't bother buying expensive crimping pliers and instead used some beefy pliers I had lying around. Since I won't be putting much load on the crimps, I'm not worried about the crimps being perfect.
