A waterfowl decoy has an elongate body portion with a forward end and a rearward end, and a head portion adjacent the forward end of the body portion, the head portion and the body portion defining an outer surface that simulates a waterfowl. A spoon extends downwardly and forwardly from the forward end of the body portion, the spoon having a leading edge positioned forwardly of the body. A jerk line is attached to the spoon rearwardly of its leading edge, so that when the decoy is deployed in water, pulling the jerk line causes the forward end of the decoy to dive, creating a splash and simulating realistic motion of waterfowl.
