Well, you have just described what every spearo's arsenal should contain....all of the above! If you don't have at least 1 or 2 dozen decoys you aren't serious. Ha I've even had to buy a larger two level ammo box to carry everything now. Its much like your tackle box. A fish may bite on one color, one style of spinner, or one kind of bait one day and have a totally new preference the next day. A few things are adjustable on decoys, like the tail fin for making tight and wide circles and the action is variable too which cuts down on decoy numbers but I'd say one shouldn't hit the ice with less than a dozen - including store bought plastics, pro-made woods, and a bunch of your own homemade creations. On really slow days I may go through every one in the box. If nothing else it gives you something to do besides eat or nap in the shack.
