I was surprised that alot of you use your mojos in the early season. I was always taught to pull your tricks out as you need them, not all out at once. I like putting decoy modulators in my mojos and they work awesome. They work in extremely cold weather like 0 degrees , there water tight, and not too expensive. the web site is www.decoymodulator.com I agree on the noisy motor on the bigger mojos, but the juniors are quiet and the replacement parts are cheaper(too bad they don't make them any more!) There is a guy on ebay selling juniors for $50.00. Another trick to try is putting stockings over the wings to dull the glare down on those gray days, and sometimes works on the blue days. |

Last spring I purchase a Baby-Mojo and added a remote kit, It worked fine all last season. I got the unit out the other day to charge it up and found out the battery is shot. I contacted the makers of Mojo's and was told by the young lady who answer the phone that the average battery life is about 1 maybe 2 years. At a cost of $14.00 + shipping that makes the cost of a new battery about half of what I paid for the unit new.In addition she told me there is a fuse in the unit however I can't find one in mine.Also she told me that when charging the unit they don't recommend using the plug but instead us the jumpers that come with the unit. so why make the unit with a charging port if they don't recommend using it.
Now in answer to your question do they work. I find they are most effective in low light conditions or during heavy snow. Will I ever buy another one ...NO. Can I live without one? YOU BET I CAN.

They are a tool to use in certain conditions just like any other decoy, etc. There are days when you need one to get the birds to notice your spread (like foggy days or lowlight conditions like early morning, etc., or especially on windy days) They work awesome for field hunting and are almost a necessity for it. We like to put them where we want the ducks to land, where that be front and center or if we are set up to pass shoot it would be on the upwind side. A remote one is a must, otherwise you have to get out and run out to turn it off, and that is a pain especially if it is out in the water. There are times when you really don't need them and they can hurt you also, like when you've done your scouting and you know you're just hunting a group of local birds that are coming to that hole anyway, then you really don't need it, and it could flare birds on you, are bright sunny days with no wind I wouldn't use one as it will give you away more often than not. When in the timber and you need some attraction we will put it up in some cover to just give alittle flash and not much to pick out, but enough to get their attention. It's definitely a tool to have in your arsenal and you'll learn when and when not to use it and how. You can also set it up just off the water and attach some cardboard tabs or something to the wings and let it slap the water to give a good ripple or splash. Drake or hen it really doesn't matter, as they are just going to see the flash of the wings, and I would just go with the Baby Mojo, no need in paying more for the bigger bird. Good luck!
