I hunt small calm water and big rough water both with longlines.Its so simple its amazing I use lots of anchors and zigzag my decoys back and fourth leaving slack between the anchors to keep my spread from looking like a bunch of strait lines it seems to work well.yhose anchors you posted look a lot less expensive than the anchors I use I bought those easy anchors but I will say the ez anchors work really well in rough seas.but as for those bags I quit using decoy bags cause with the snaps on the decoys I clip all my decoys together in bundles this makes it easy to move large spreads of dekes from the tguck to the boat.

I have all my puddlers on long lines style. Some are 2 to up to 6 on a line. I use mostly 12 oz mushroom anchor for up to 4 S Mags decoy with a soft bottom. I'd double that if a current.
My diver usea 2.5 lb mushroon style weight with a big wire loop. I like the mushroom as is tips over so it grabs the bottom.
