Hate them. They make to much sound. I like to watch ducks work to my calling, not a spinner. They work great on sunny days, they make it to easy. I like the spinner for doves.

Where we hunt it gets REALLY foggy and they seem to attract ducks to the spread better than just dekes. I've got 2 with remotes.

I can live without ours. Mostly use them for field spreads and early season. Outside of those times, we don't use them a whole lot.

WE typically use ours(have several between our gang) initially to bring in the early flights. By mid morning, I feel they flare birds more than not. In small potholes, we'll actually put them on the other side of the hole to push birds towards our shooting range. On big water- they work well for divers. Maybe I'll have to show ya?  ?? blind fold required. |

We typically use them, although I really don't like them. As QuackingTim pointed out they're loud. Rarely do you see the birds suck into them after the first few days of season.
I would be interested, however, to see how they work on divers. You can't call those birds effectively, and most days there's plenty of motion in the dekes.

Maybe I"m "gifted" but we get divers to buzz us big time. I use an old double reed and blow a flat short call: BLa-aaaaat Blaaaaaa-t, Blaaaaaaaat, the birds usually come right in on us.
Kevlar ducks that is: buffies. more than once we've had to take a bunch of shots to kill one outright. Twice we've had birds that were still alive when we got home.

I'm not much of a diver hunter, but in my experience Buffies decoy pretty well anyway. With decoys out it would be hard to tell whether the Buffies were responding to the call, or to the decoys. I'm sure most on here that have hunted them have had them come back into the decoys immediately after being shot, as well. About the only use I've seen for the diver call is to get the birds to look in your direction long enough to see the decoys. Still, if you believe that a diver call is working for you I'm not going to say it isn't. Like I said I don't have much experience with the divers. Todd |

The group I go out with owns two mojos... one of them's a little off balance and rattles pretty bad, so we usually only use one.
Last year was my first year duck hunting, but from what I noticed, it usually seemed to attract them to our spread when they were flying over. But they never wanted to land near it. They'd come in, cup, and the flare and circle us again. Seemed like we had better luck when we didn't set it out. We've got some pretty good calling going on that seems to do the trick pretty well on mallards.

Heck my fav mojo (lucky duck) is about 5 years old now... been crashed into from fallin ducks, geese, flyin decoys, etc.... shakes worse than my grandma.. and rattles more than solohunters pickup .. but she works like a charm  We used to laugh about it and say its just an extra constand feeder chuckle . She can shake , rattle, and roll all she wants as long as the greenheads are comin in  |
