We have used other brands of spinning wing decoys and somedays they work and somedays they don't. For this season I ordered the baby mojo and just from looking at it I think it will work better. Its abit smaller that the full size mojo, which in my opinion its more life like size than the others. The other thing I like about the mojo's is that there is a frame to hold the battery. Other brands the battery just sites inside and can make noise with the vibration of the motor turning. Hopefully in will work good.

Chris got it right, but, there are 2 other things that I have done that seem to improve the effect of the baby mojo that I use...
(1) I picked a FEMALE mallard, EVERYONE and their cousin has the MALE...
(2) I installed a circuit that turns the ducks wings on and off at whatever preset times you want. I use 1 to 1.5 seconds ON and 3 seconds off. To ducks, this appears to be many ducks landing or a group of ducks stretching their wings... More realistic for sure. I can't think of the name of the circuit, but you can google it.

We use a MOJO and it works great. We found that we got better results after installing a remote on off switch. We leave the wings running until we have a couple of ducks that want to commit on landing in our decoys then we turn the MOJO off. It's great to see the ducks drop their heads as the fly by to get a good look at the MOJO. Hit them with a come back call and watch them turn around and land in the decoys. Remember that some days the ducks won't want to work with you no matter what you do.
NOW I CAN"T WAIT FOR OPENING DAY!!!

here in NZ we use "wonder ducks" and "mojos" . they both work very well.. especially if you are shooting on farms. ducks love maise fields and they dont ask questions when you have 2 mojos flapping away amongst the husks n stalks. every duck shooter should have 1 or 5 of them
Yes, we use the mojo as well, with the factory installed remote. Ducks love it, but as Jose said there is just sometimes the ducks are not interested. Yes we use it with about half a dozen other duck decoys, and about 5 dozen goose decoys, in the field. Keep it running for the ducks but shut it off for geese as they seem to not like it too much. Had lots of ducks turn right around when making the mistake of turning it off too early.
Thanks for reminding me Jay I knew there was something else I wanted to say about my mojo. I also got the hen and think it will do better for me. Now I didn't get the remote yet but I'll add it to my next Cabelas order....like I need more stuff $1000 spent 2 months ago.

The Canadian Wildlife Service is watching these spinners closely. They feel they (the spinners) give an unfair advantage. I spoke with a field agent with the CWS who said hunters are shooting their limits in half the time with spinners compared to regular dekes. I asked him what the difference was between a limit shot over a spinner vs a regular decoy. He had no answer. Shortly afterwards the CWS announced that a high percentage of ducks shot over spinners were young birds and that this would unbalance the flocks. Again I say a vast majority of birds shot every fall are young of the year. But you can't argue with the government.....
I use them and I like them. I am still a sportsman with respect for limits, shooting times etc so I say buy MOJO if you can and have fun!

P.S. I got my MOJO mallard (drake) with remote off of E Bay at 80.00 shipped Canadian funds. I have a Lucky Duck too but it half the quality.
