Ive been wanting to get one of these for a while, and I finally broke down. I used it on a timber hunt last week and thought I would share my opinions. The birds responded well to the rig. It has clips to attach three decoys. When pulled the decoys swim at you, when released the decoys swim away from you. Created lots of motion and ripples. The bad aspects of the rig are that you have to make a lot of motion to pull the string. Birds might pick up on your arm moving from a distance. Also, they have a huge weight on the thing and is kind of heavy for long pack ins. Lastly, I wish the clips were movable so you could space out the deocys that are attached to the line a little more. I was hunting a large pocket of water, and all the decoys on the line were attached within 3 feet of eachother. Other than that, the system in pretty adaptable; you can remove the weight and attach the string to a tree if possible which I thought was cool. Overall, I think it is a valuable addition to my plethora of duck hunting toys.

Why not just make your own. I don't know if this is legal in all states but use milk jugs if you can not use milk jugs get a few golden eye decoys. I use a piece of rebar with washers welded on there sides spaced out 1 foot to keep the string underwater.

I have the Rig Em Right but both have 6 snaps on them. Make sure you drill a larger hole on you decoy to make it easy for on an off clipping. You can also rig a snap swivel to your decoy to make easy also.

Another nice motion decoy is the wonder duck placed in your spread to keep them moving.

I personally use carved cork decoys with golden eyes for my string. If I take out my old snealbox from the Market Hunter days it's milk jugs and a Parker side by side 10ga.
