I saw this mentioned in another thread, but I didn't wanna hijack that thread with my question.

How many of yall are using robo's? I am using two spinners and one that spits and sputters. When robo's first came out they were a duck magnet. Ducks would lite right next to them. Now, I have noticed that it still works to get the ducks attention, but it will either flair the ducks or the ducks won't lite in the spread. Are yall noticing the same thing?

These did pretty well this weekend but they are all on remote.

I turn them on to get the duck's attention and will turn them off if the duck is looking at the spread and circling. I think you need at least three however.

i find the teal seem to like them a lot



for other ducks, it seems to get them to come take a look, but thats about it



i have a robo teal and 2 mallards, and we've tried using all 3 or just 2 or just 1


i have a pull string set up too, but didnt really need it because we had enough wind this past weekend

I find that the dove mojos worked well during teal season and the teal mojos are working good for the big ducks. I bought the super mojo mallard with the remote and find myself turning it off once the ducks are interested. We have water in front and behind our pit blind and have yet to have the ducks decoy in the same pond as the mallard. I've moved it to the front and back. If I forget to turn it off I've noticed they will not commit. The teal doesn't seem to bother them. Feel like I wasted $179.00. And it's heavy and awkward when carrying it back and forth.

is this the mojo flyway feeder?


i was considering one like that, but the mixed reviews i read on it didnt really wow me



we also bought a spinner for two robos, that flings them in a circle (can't remember what its called)


we've tried it a few times, but not yet this year, it may be a little bit too much motion for them

I think it gets the ducks to make a few circles but they won't fully commit close enough to shoot

Main reason I choose not to use one. We hunt timber and once the ducks get in the ring and start circling they are always pretty much right on top of it and usually bug out after a few passes. We however have had some success putting one in the buttonwoods, this way they only see a flash every now and again. I have said it once and will say it again, pull string FTW.

They work best at daylight and when the sun is up on a blue bird day. Cloudy days they are a liability imo.
