This decoy is 9" long and weighs 8 ounces, weighted with lead, bb's inside that rattle. Condition is as shown in the photos, probably has not been used.Duey loved Darkhouse spearing as well as making and selling his fishing decoys. He made his first decoy when he was 12 years old and continued to make them for over 70 ye...ars. “Duey’s Decoys” are known nationwide. He estimated that he had made over 4000! He became chapter coordinator for the Minnesota Darkhouse & Angling Association and supported the startup of many other state chapters. I will combine shipping for multiple purchases.
