Shallow Water Spreaders: Our shallow water series allows you to use the spreader in 4-5 inches. Click here to see the shallow water spreaders.REGULAR SPREADER MINIMUM:  In order to get the best motion from your decoys the minimum water depth should be 11 inches.
The decoys keep the system afloat and the spreader sinks about 10 inches underneath the decoys. 11 inches of water gives you the clearance for the system to work correctly. You can modify the system in order for it to work in just 5 inches of water.

You can add line to your anchor first and then attach the bungee cord to the line, then the bungee cord attaches to your spreader.
