MOJO Outdoors - Premium Waterfowl and Duck Hunting Decoys

as described

This is my favorite spinning decoy, I use it mainly in saltwater and it seems to hold up very well. After running what I would estimate 12 to 20 hours which is multiple trips, the batteries still held up. The only issue I had was a switch needed to be taken apart and clean, but that was Fully due to salt water usage. The remote quit working very quickly, so I do not use it with remote I use it on constant power mode.

Worked as it should and helped to draw in more birds.

It's very good for outdoor hunting

these things are great! I have 4 in my spread now. the motion is fantastic. i have them on texas rigs and they dont just make ripples in the water, they actually move around like theyre swimming. takes 4 AA batteries for each one. but I had these things on the water running nonstop for 8+ hors a day for 12 days this season before I had to change the batteries. will buy more, would highly recommend

This is a preliminary review, I have had this decoy less than a week, and took it out hunting only once, so we shall see how it holds up in the long run.Water Proof: There are two openings that represent possible routes for water entry. The large opening that unscrews to access the motor and batteries seems to seal nicely, but so far also seems to resist getting stuck. The second opening it the On/Off switch, which is covered with rubber. The switch is small and requires a very firm press to operate. This should prevent accidentally being switched on in transport, but it requires a very focused push to operate. The rubber here is fairly thick but a good point to check for leaksSize: It has a smaller body than a standard mallard decoy, offset by a large tail, the picture does not do it justice. The overall length including the tail is about the same as a standard mallard decoy, and birds probably wont notice the difference. I suspect the body is smaller to help make the ripples bigger.Color: Beautiful paint job and texture on the decoy body. It will look good in your spread even if the motor dies. Thats one of the benefits of using this instead of a quiver magnet- once it dies, it just becomes a normal decoy.Ripples / Quiver: I am fairly impressed with the ripples it makes in the water. This puts out substantially larger ripples than the Expedite Quiver Magnet. I have not used other quiver products to compare it to.Battery Life: Not enough testing yet. The first set of batteries is still running after 3 hours of hunting.Durability: The motor sits in a deep plastic cup within the decoy body. If water does leak into the body cavity, it should stay outside the cup and keep the motor dry. This should allow you too toss and turn the decoy with a small amount of water in it without getting the motor or batteries wet. This cup also should provide a secondary protection for the motor and batteries from a stray shot pellet or two!Hits: Great color and body, will make a nice decoy if the batteries die. I'm pleased with the size of the ripples. Thoughtful design should keep motor from getting wet.Misses: Can't be used with a keel grabber weight (fine for use with a Texas rig though). Short advertised battery life (8 hrs). On/Off switch difficult to operate.

I ordered the first one of these MOJO decoys in November. The first time I used it, the plastic piece that attaches the decoy to the metal stand broke off. It was sheared completely in two. I realized this when I saw my electronic decoy flying upside down in a foot and a half of water. I returned the saturated decoy and the broken stand for a replacement. I used that decoy three times. Today, on my third trip with it, the plastic bracket broke in exactly the same place. This time I had not yet placed it in the flooded field. However, the decoy is useless without a stand to support it. Personally, I don't have time to keep returning the things.MOJO needs to fix this quality issue ASAP. I had another MOJO spinning wing decoy that I used for years without a problem. The stand on that older model was much more durable. Eventually, there was an electronic failure with that decoy, but only after an acceptable level of use. Twice fooled is enough for me. I think I'll be looking for an alternative product until someone can demonstrate better durability in this product.

2 of the 4 seem to work good and consistent. Even with new batteries.They flip over way to easily.Waterproof.
