Is Lifetime Decoys The Best Rigging Equipment??

This is a review of the Lifetime Decoys decoy rigs and their jerk rig. I have used these products for a while now and I cannot be happier. They are tough and they work great. I love that the decoy rigs don't have line memory.

The Texas rig for decoys is the best invention since….decoys 😎👍

[@jdkennedy77]

Great review and demo! I’m one of those old farts you alluded to who has been hunting for 300 years (not really, just 35) and jerk-stringed for 31 of those years. I’ve gone completely mechanized for ripples in the last few years (Duck Creek Decoy Flashbacks [made in USA/Colorado!], Battleship Swimmers, Frenzy Feeders, plus some butt wigglers), but if I were still in the jerk-rig game I would definitely go with that sucker!!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

This is an interesting video. Your set up obviously works very well. There seems to be as many decoy line solutions as there are hunters.

[@MrBowNaxe]

Nice review Josh. I've been wanting to build a jerk rig and this might just be the answer... Thanks for sharing.

[@jasonmolitor8580]

Can you make a video on good layout blinds and what you use

[@coopernickerson370]

Have you looked at fud folding decoys? I have them and they are great.

[@isaiah3898]

That’s one point of tension between me and my dad one of us likes Texas rigs and one of us hates them

[@SomewhereInWisconsin]

Good video. I make my own. Much cheaper and last as long as my decoys have so far. However....I'd definitely by them if I purchased rigs.

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

If you tie a thicker/heavier cord on the jerk-rig for the part you will be holding, you will like it better. A jerk-rig is a staple where we hunt, and you want as thick of a cord as you can get in your hand. A few have commented on using the thing you wrap the line on to pull with... problem with that is you keep dropping it in the water. Ideally you would attach that end to your blind and then pull the cord so you don't loose the end. On mine, I tie a loop in it thats easy to grab, then you can just feel for it while you are watching the ducks. Not sure if you can make a knot in the lifetime rig.

[@Bagndux88]

Check out Gerber decoy rigs they are just as nice as lifetime and are cheaper been using them at my rice blind and have had no issues. And I also have lifetime ones to with no issues to. Order a dozen and try them out this season.

[@brandonspurlock430]

Isn’t the handle not just for wrapping the line, but also for holding and jerking the line? Any reason that you jerk the line itself rather than holding it by the handle?

[@OutdoorLimits]

I just prefer pulling the line instead of the handle

[@jwrees57]

I switched to the lifetime rigs last season and like them better than the cord and j anchors. I havent had much luck with jerk rigs the dog usually gets fouled up in them , going to try the battery ripplers next fall

[@OutdoorLimits]

I have a mojo butt that I use, and I like it. If you get the mojo butts I would suggest getting 3 or 4.

[@outdoorsguy4]

I do like lifetime rigs but I’ve got some decoys on 72in lines for deeper water on the lake and they tangle up all the time.. usually only get tangles with the 72in ones though.

[@OutdoorLimits]

72 inch is LONG!

[@A4Eaton]

99% sure I'm going to switch all my floaters over to these rigs. I use Tanglefree and everytime I pull my decoys out, at least one person says "Tanglefree my ass" lol, love the company but the Texas rigs definitely tangle and are a pain in the ass sometimes.

[@shawnadelancey10]

I brought life time rigs last year wont go back to any others

[@stevenhatfield6656]

I noticed you left the actual decoy rig on the decoys that you hooked to the jerk rig.. do you leave thecrigs on the decoys that you hook to the jerk rig? 🤔

[@OutdoorLimits]

I do leave the rigs on the decoys

[@stevenhatfield6656]

@@OutdoorLimits can you take them off and just clip them to the jerk rig with the anchor at the end or do you need to leave them on each individual decoy

[@hootiesfilms6446]

I switched a dozen of my duck decoys to texas rigs from the old J hook and wrap system, used them for one season and I've decided to switch back. I just don't really see the benefit other than being able to pick them up really quickly. Hauling them around they just get banged up and unorganized from not being in a bag. Plus one time I got a tangle and it took me forever to get it untangled so that was the last straw.

[@OutdoorLimits]

Everybody has their own preferences! Just do what you like the best!

[@A4Eaton]

I throw my decoys on Texas rigs in a bag. I clip the carabiner to the string when I tighten the bag. It has worked out really well for me, so far.

[@hootiesfilms6446]

Yeah I think the other problem with my setup is I got the extra long ones, like 6 feet or something when the vast majority of the time I'm throwing them out in less than 3 feet of water. Having the shorter ones would've kept it more organized.

[@nicholasmusurlian6616]

Does the handle of the jerk rig float?

[@stevedyer5902]

Nope

[@Bloor11]

Those rigs dont work with deep water. So wrapping the keel with a j weight is really the only option I have

[@OutdoorLimits]

ever thought about using a gang rig for deep water hunting?

[@Bloor11]

@@OutdoorLimits I use gang rigs for my divers, it's really not terrible wrapping the keels. I have 15' on my mallards and 20' on my geese. I hunt river alot so it's really shallow by the bank then drops off to like 18ft Haha. Wish it was simpler!

[@ronniemilsap7716]

Wrapping weights does suck but here we need 8oz weights or better and long lines we don't have the luxury of hunting shallow calm waters

[@OutdoorLimits]

What water do you hunt?

[@ronniemilsap7716]

@@OutdoorLimits our local river lake Erie and our local lakes, we typically run 15ft of cord per decoy ,there's been times it's not enough . 99% the time it's roughly 4-6ft but strong current and wind /ice

[@claytonburch8681]

You cant make deep weights with texas rigging

[@graycassidy7525]

I’ve always used Lifetime and I’ll never use anything else
