ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for connecting a weight to a decoy. The cord has a deformable, resilient tab disposed on one end of the cord that is sized to allow passage of the tab through an eyelet on the decoy when the tab is compressed but to restrict passage of the tab through the eyelet when the tab is not compressed. A bead may be provided near the other end of the cord to retain a weight on the cord by restricting passage of the bead through a hole in the weight. An aperture may also be provided in the other end of the cord, preferably in the bead, to provide the flexibility of permitting a single cord to connect the weight to the decoy or to permit two or more cords to be strung together to connect the weight to the decoy. A clasp may also be provided in the end of the cord opposite the tab to provide for tangle resistant storage of the decoy, cord and weight.
