Patent attributes
A duck decoy device with a hollow duck decoy body joined to a base having a housing thereon, and an insert having selectively separable and pivotable front and rear platforms and selectively separable left and right halves. A spool for holding a line is removably disposed between stilted arches on the left and right halves. A disc, on the spool proximal the right half stilted arch, has notched teeth along an entire outer perimeter thereof. A hook is forwardly disposed on a parallelepiped central shaft on the rear platform and engages one of the notched teeth to arrest spool spinning. A solid metal weight within the entire shell is selectively held and alternately released from the insert, and is fastened to the insert via the line. The insert and the separability of the right and left halves and the front and rear platforms permit servicing and replacement of various parts.
