Abstract: Decoys are placed, retrieved, and stored in a system that contains a line assembly and a holder. The line assembly contains: (1) a main line having an anchor at each end and a stop member attached to the line a spaced distance from the anchor; and (2) a plurality of decoy lines connected at their proximate ends to the main line at spaced intervals. Each decoy line is adapted for connection to a decoy at its distal end and has a stop member attached to the line a spaced distance from the distal end. The holder is a tube having a longitudinal slot extending from the inlet end substantially the entire length of the tube. The slot has a width about equal to or greater than the main line and less than the stop members. The tube has a diameter and a length sufficient to accommodate the main line, the decoy lines, and the stop members within its interior.
