Archerysniper Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Pistol cases and cut the foam out to fit the decoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ1657 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've been thinking about the same thing. My thought was a box that opens at the top with individual compartments. You would put the decoys in nose first. Kind of like the old time glass milk bottle carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_healer_guy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Not gonna solve your box question, but we use old socks to wrap them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laska Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Im thinking of lining individual trays, 3 or 4 layers of them and will have individual compartments for each decoy. It will be a flip top box and hold all my deaks, spinners and spoon and keep my phone dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabignorski Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I built a nice wooden box that fits my spear my ice saw and 5 decoys..Its nice having everything all in one area when loading it into the truck.. only thing it gets a little heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDpikepoker Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I built a wood box w/ flip up top. a top tray like in a tackle box to keep my spinner and daredevils in. then when you lift out the top trays it looks like mail box slots or a tic tac toe board if u know what i mean. I sized them all the same so that they are big enough to accomidate my biggest decoy. I put some rubber belting on the top cover so u can use it for a step stool. or seat when spearing. oh ya! and Laska. If you dont have enough empty crown bags to put ur decoys in you better get to work!! I cant remember where all those CR bags came from I keep my decoys in?

merkman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey Laska, This box will hold 6 decoys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOUNCED Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have made a decoy box but it gets a bit heavy if your not driving out with the truck. I keep all my decoys in stocking hats you can usually get 10 for $10 at the dollar store. This year I traded a decoy for a soft fleece hanging decoy bag. It has a flap that covers the pocket and I just unroll it and hang it in the house. That's been the nicest set up yet. Best thing you can do is always bring your decoys in the house after spearing. The only time my decoys get cold is in the water.I'll try and get some pics my decoy bag up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
