if you were going to make an Old Squaw decoy, what would you use for the sprig? I want to repurpose some black duck dekes and I want the sprig to be flexible so it wont break off in the boat, ect.

Pipe cleaners, maybe. Let them get bent in the boat, straighten them when you throw them out.

We use black plastic water pipe - cut to length/shape. You can use a heat gun to put a curve in them.
