has anyone seen this duck hunting video?

Ya that is way I did not bookmark the site. the price is a little steep for me, i know they may have done a lot of research and testing but...

on the other side though it looks like a great idea!!
 
THAT PRICE!!!! A 6x20 mesh tarp is $55 from tarpsplus.com... $36 for the clips....

By the time you sew in the cord, patches and pipe you would have significant additional time and money invested.

To me an approach with less hardware would seem better - less to hang up less flopping - those mini longline clips have to snag and the snaps on them are going to snag for sure or open. Tarp with grommets put in and weave a heavy line like #96 tarred or paracord line up and down through the grommets - capturing the decoys as you go. That would be fast and easy to put together.
 
The fella's that make that rig were at our sportsman's show here in SC in March. The mesh is very fine and I don't see any way the long line clips could hang up during deployment or retrieval. The price is too steep for me but the concept would work without any fear of snagging boat rigging or tangling the clips in the mesh. Definitely a slick rig and a different look on the water than a traditional long line set.

I'm familiar with the type of fabric they are using, I'm not so worried with the clips and the fabric, but snagging each other and everything else around and jams of the clips and snaps and in amongst the keel. It isn't a major concern, but no clips would be better in my eye and it would be a lot easier to make the way I described.
 
It has a "rafted up" look that broadbills have on the north shore of Long Island. To my eye, it looks more realistic then any long line set I have used.
 
I have to admit that the Southern Flyway device appears to be much more user friendly than the one shown in the first video.

It really seems like it would be easy to deploy and pick up if you were able to handle one. At the sportsman's show I picked the whole spread up like a suitcase and it had 24 decoys on it, granted, these were water keel decoys but for fast mass deployment of diver dekes I would definitely use a setup like that. Too pricey for me tho, I prefer to make my own hunting "tools" versus buy them anyway.
