I have seen photos of a system that takes 2 Mojos and has they fly in a circle, about 8 feet in diameter. Seems pretty simple...just a stand that is spinning with two Mojos on it.

Has anyone offered these for sale or similar? Any way to get Mojos moving beyond spinning wings?

Everyone has great points and their own personal experiences. I've seen ducks almost land on top of a mojo, but for late season ducks in Missouri this last season if you called they flew off. I know you guys will be right behind me with the "be a better caller" jokes. I really don't care because when they get like that I put out my jerk rig and pull a couple times to get their attention and they drop right in. For weary birds that have seen all the toys (mojos, flashers, etc.) a jerk rig is a easy tool to use as long as you don't get caught by the birds while pulling.

I've always used jerk rigs. I finally got my own mojo last year (baby drake) and ducks literally were trying to land on top of it. I still ran my jerk rigs to get movement on the water but I saw a huge difference with that mojo in my spread. Even in the late season with weary birds I saw success with the mojo. I never bought one until last year bc of the comments from people against them.
I agree with this fella 100%

CABELAS has them, around $300, there's a free shipping & discount code running now.

Also , as you know , the higher you raise a spinner off the water , the bigger the reflection.....

As you move an object further from the reflective surface, the smaller that object appears to the eye.
It's a function of distance from the eye.

well folks Ive got 4 more sleeps before I get to set out the dekes and see how things go for the season....this plurry virus/wuhan flue has really stuffed things up....
had brainwave for our jerk string dipping ducks.....we shoot on an island and deal with pooha mud that sticks like nothing on earth,other than maybe a poohy nappie dropped onto nanas best woolen rug. Im going to try running the nylon strings through a cheap old garden hose buried down in the mud...no lines on shore for dog to tangle and birds to see....will let you know how it works out.

Probably going to create so much friction you'll think you're pulling cinder blocks.

Spinners for very early season ducks and BWT. Jerk rigs the rest of the season. Ducks are conditioned to the spinners by week 2-3 of the season and usually make them flare when they get close enough to see it. I actually prefer the motion decoys that disturb the water. All the new technologies are great, but it doesn't replace putting the miles and work scouting.

Well, motorized decoys are verboten on most Arkansas Public Hunting Venues. What I am seeing is Ducks have wised up to jerk strings. I have found keeping the water moving with one foot is better. The pressure is intense on Public ground here. They have become brilliant at hunter evasion. There is so much more to it. I hunt Ducks like some hunt Turkeys now.
