Decoy,Soar or sit?

Do you guys have better luck letting your favorite decoys just sit, or flying around often. I have a hard time letting them sit for very long because they look so cool soaring through the water. But for me anyways, it seems like I see more if I just let it be.

I don't let mine sit still for very long, I change them often too. There is just something about seeing them chase and smash the decoy that I love.

Haha!!!! That's because the only thing better than a decoy that just came off the drying rack is one with fresh teeth marks in it. grin

Knowing you carved something good enough to attack and eat is icing on the cake.

I don't think it matters most of the time. Pike let you knoe what they want and if they are on they are on.

Best way to attract a pike is to pick up your phone or change the radio station. They always show up then.....

You guys would hate spearing how I grew up... A few spins, let it sit a half hour. A few spins...repeat. I am not nearly as patient as my teacher (Grandpa), but I can't argue with his logic. If you're moving the deke, the fish will come in fast more often than not. If it's sitting still, the fish will move in slow more often than not. These are the rules; there are, of course, exceptions.

It's been said, but it remains true...let the fish tell you what they want that particular day. I spin 'em a few times every 5-10 minutes on average.
