Large flocks of Redbreasted Merganser’s on our lake in far north Indiana. They are beautiful birds.

I doubt Lou would have eye screws. Decoy Rigs used to sell a ton of Herters heads and accessories. You might give them a call. I have their catalog from 2008. It shows multiple sizes in galvanized. Good luck. Decoy Rigs Whiting, Indiana 219 659-8371 RVZ

Kevin, This may sound really off the wall, but I use lead weights from Campbell's soup cans. I don't know what your conditions are but my weights are about half the can filled. I use a brass ring stuck in the molten lead and hold it there untill it sets up. Be sure to peel the can off the lead...

Pete, I have both, 2008 vintage. I really don't know why I keep this stuff. Bob was a crotchety old guy with a heart of gold. RVZ
