precious 6 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have used various flapping/spinning winged decoys and found the Mini Mojo by far the best, fantastic for drawing birds in, very reliable, good on batteries and very robust. also there are various versions from ones you can have floating in water to others that can be mounted on a spike for in stubble etc. The flapping model i had I wasnt impressed with and one wing broke very easily. ( abit of a pain when you can only get a replacement from the states) see the link below for the mojo, pretty good price too, mini's imo are the better model as they are easier to transport around. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=727454&WTz_l=YMAL%3BIK-420229 hope that helps Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Illinois Hunter 1 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 mojo is definitely the way to go. They seem to really work on bringing in the ducks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefbeefbeef 10 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I bought a Lucky Duck from Cabelas last year because it had better owner reviews than the mojo. It is wind-powered (I understand the battery-powered ones are illegal to use in the UK??) and therefore useless in calm conditions - frequent last season. Great for attracting ducks during daylight or early dusk when they can see it from a distance, but I found it actually scared ducks at late dusk because they only noticed it when they were on their final approach and you could tell they were alarmed (couldn't tell if it was the movement or the whirring noise they didn't like). I actually lost out on some shooting opportunities because of it. So, I like it, but be aware of the pitfalls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gouldy257 79 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 funny we were just talking about that last night so a think best left at home for night flights, but ill use during the day an morning flights thanks for reply i just think there barred of edges of big loughs and stuff I THINK lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefbeefbeef 10 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I also reckon it is okay for early season evening flights when the ducks come in relatively light conditions and can see a long way. By December, when they are coming in in virtual darkness, I won't be using it. funny we were just talking about that last night so a think best left at home for night flights, but ill use during the day an morning flights thanks for reply i just think there barred of edges of big loughs and stuff I THINK lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
precious 6 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Have to say I have never had an issue with them on evening flights, found they work just as well as any other time, I do have mine on a timer so that may make a difference, def not illegal in the UK. I think its a case of playing around with it and find out what works for you, sometimes i find the ducks like it when its in the centre of the pattern and other times it needs to be right on the edge. I think you will find it will bring a welcome ne dimension to your decoying. Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
