A spoon extends downwardly and forwardly from the forward end of the body portion, the spoon having a leading edge positioned forwardly of the body. A jerk line is attached to the spoon rearwardly of its leading edge, so that when the decoy is deployed in water, pulling the jerk line causes the forward end of the decoy to dive, creating a splash and simulating realistic motion of waterfowl.
