       21 . A decoy anchor kit comprising:
 a floatable decoy;   a tether having a first end and second end;   a loop formed in said second end and secured by a clasp;   a fastener mounted on said first end of said tether, said fastener including a clip attachable to the floatable decoy;   a weight attachable to said tether and adapted to slide freely on said tether between said fastener and said clasp.   
   
   
       22 . The kit of  claim 21 , further comprising a hook member adapted to receive said loop of said decoy anchor, wherein said decoy anchor is transportable to a body of water on said hook. 
   
   
       23 . A decoy anchor system comprising:
 a floatable waterfowl decoy;   a tether having a first end and a second end;   a fastener carried on said first end of said tether, said fastener having a clip adapted to releasably attach said tether to said floatable waterfowl decoy;   a loop formed in said second end of said tether and secured by a clasp, wherein said clasp acts as a stop;   a weight mounted on said tether and freely slidable between said clasp and said decoy, wherein elevation of said loop causes said weight to slide adjacent to said decoy concentrating the mass of said weight and said decoy at the first end of said tether.   
   
   
       24 . A decoy anchor system comprising:
 a floating decoy simulating a waterfowl;   a tether having a first end and a second end and an intermediate portion in between said first and second ends, said tether being attached to said decoy at said first end;   a weight supported on said tether, said weight defining a bore extending there through adapted to slidably receive said tether;   a fastener attached to said first end of said tether and adapted to attach said tether to said floating decoy, wherein said fastener is larger than said bore and acts as a stop adjacent to said decoy; and   a loop formed at the second end of said tether, wherein said loop forms a second stop, said second stop having a diameter larger than said bore of said weight;   wherein said fastener is a swivel and releasably attaches said tether to said decoy.   
   
   
       25 . The decoy anchor system of  claim 23 , wherein said tether includes a nylon cable. 
   
   
       26 . The kit of  claim 21 , further comprising a hook member adapted to receive said loop of said decoy anchor, wherein said decoy anchor is transportable to a body of water on said hook.
