ABSTRACT:
A duck decoy or any other object (10) is made easy to pick up and carry, especially when being retrieved manually from cold water, by the present arrangement. An eyelet (12) is attached to its underside (or any other surface). A flexible line (16), such as a string, is passed through the eyelet. A weight or stop (20) is attached to one end of the line and a washer (18) or other annulus providing a loop is attached to the other end of the line. When the decoy is floating in water, the washer end of the line is at the eyelet and the weight extends down, away from the decoy. To retrieve the decoy from its floating position, it is manually grasped, lifted out of the water, and an elongated member (26) attached to a carrying handle (38) is passed through the washer. The decoy is then released, allowing it to fall to the weight at the other end of the line, whereby it will hang on the other end of the line from the elongated member and the washer, whereby it can be conveniently carried, along with a plurality of other decoys, by the elongated member with minimal manual handling.
