Weasel ball decoy with intructions

[AKwildman]

Ok this is some pics on my decoy.Its easy to make, looks stupid,and works great. Get a weasel ball and get rid
of everything but the ball.Take the top half of the ball
and from the inside drill two small holes.Put a loop of good
nylon string through it.Now add a lenghth of 30lb fish line with a snap swivel on each end.Its important that you put your holes as ilistrated so the motor will run in a easy circular motion. It will quit it down and extend the batt
life big time.Now make a sock out of fake fur or fleese
and get some feathers.just shove the feathers into the fleese,this keeps em real flopy and and will move about frealy.Poke a hole in the top of the sock and run your fish line through .Thats all there is to it,hang it from a low branch or bush and turn it on.In cold weather iI tape a disposable hand warmer to the bottom of the ball and it just keeps on trucking.

cant see the pics i use one covered with fur mounted on a spring and stick the spring on a stake.
my other one isn't even covered i throw it out onto hard packed snow,some times it gets stuck if the snow isn't hard enough.

You could get them at any Cracker Barrel a short time ago. I think you still can. I like the Decoy Heart better. You don't have to take it apart to turn it on and off. It has a latching push button switch. Push to turn it on, then push to turn off. $15.98 delivered.

Ive had this weasel ball for about 6 years and you push
a button on the bottom to turn it on .Are they not made like this anymore?

The one I bought at cracker barrel, you had to take ball apart, close cover on battery, screw ball back together. Big pain, then try to do it with gloves on, not worth the hassle.

Sounds like a knock off. I cant imagine trying to srew it backtogether running.

Can't see your pictures either. I even tried another browser and it wouldn't even give me the frames with the red X's in them. Oh well, but I'm going to give the weasel ball a try. I have seen the decoy heart also. This looks very promising as you can fit it to most anything. Certainly a lot cheaper than some of the store bought versions that run to a hundred bucks or better. Thanks for the input.

My buddy uses a weasel ball as his decoy, and I decided not to buy one cause you do have to unscrew them to turn them on.

It is kind of a pain to take them apart, but the batteries don't go bad that fast. The decoy heart is the same idea. For a couple extra bucks, it would be worth saving the hassel of having to take apart the weasel ball to change the batteries.

The Decoy Heart is the way to go. I just screwed a hole in the bottom of mine inserted a spring and then inserted a spring into an old Carbon arrow.. A little glue and a teddy bear outfit later, and you've got one heck of a dancing decoy.
