Looking to buy some decoys soon and am still undecided on how I want to rig them. I like the simplicity of texas rig, but IMO they're a pain in the arse in the boat and take up too much room compared to if I had the keel clutch anchors and keep them neatly in a bag. What should I do?

Dude, it took us a long time to learn, but if you keep your deke anchors reeeeal short (18-24") and use sliding egg sinkers,2-3oz, you don't have to wrap them at all. They come untangled themselves. You just need to buy the right egg sinkers that have a big arse hole in them so the deke line can slide through really easy. We use the stand up decoy sacks too. It makes picking up and putting out a breeze.

I rig my decoys with 52" of string, 8 oz mushroom weight Texas rigged. 2 stainless crimps. String thru the decoy and crimp, weight on and for another loop at the other end so you can transport them with a d-ring or zip tie to keep them all together. No decoy bags, they suck.

Fixed weights (like Lifetimes) are the way to go. Those rigs are game changers.
