ABSTRACT:
A decoy provided with a hollow keel on the bottom thereof for enclosing an anchor reel mechanism and selectively anchoring the decoy in a water body. The anchor reel mechanism is characterized by a spool which is rotatably mounted in a spool housing located the keel, with an anchor line wound on the spool and an anchor attached to the free end of the anchor line. The spool is rotatable in the spool housing to deploy the anchor on the water bottom and secure the decoy in hunting configuration and the anchor may be retracted into a shaped anchor receptacle in stored configuration by inserting a crank in one end of the spool and rotating the spool with the crank to wind the anchor line on the spool. A plug is threaded in the spool housing of the keel and is designed to selectively engage the spool and prevent deployment of the anchor when the decoy is in stored configuration. Loosening of the plug allows the anchor to fall from the anchor receptacle and the anchor line to deploy from the spool when the decoy is floated in the hunting configuration.
