I have a hunting buddy that is obsessed with Jerry-rigging things when we go hunting. Does it work.. sometimes yes. Does it make that much of a difference? Doubtful.

yes
Especially for early morning woodies before the flapper is effective.

Ripples are king when there’s no wind, but there are alternatives out there that work better.

I’d say a jerk rig would work better for putting ripples on the water. And you can just not pull it if it’s flaring birds.

Jerk rig, wonderduck, pulsator, etc. The vibrating ripplers are ok but don’t really do much unless you have quite a few of them.

Tried the trolling motor for wave action, but really only affected a half dozen or so right in front of it. Of course, there were no birds flying so it was a big wash, took it down after a couple of days.

I would think any ripples would help. I saw some Jake legs at a Houston outdoor show selling some contraption that you hook to the wings. They had about six salesmen and were pushy as hell. They were like the massage chair at vacuum sales guys. Just wouldn’t leave you alone.

I saw a video of a guy a while back experimenting with tie wraps and modifying a mojo. I wonder if it was the same guys.
I still like the pulsator (bulge pump style) the best.

Years ago i would take a lease partners elderly dad when he was offshore. We get to the blind and i intentionally left the spinner. His whole day was shot and we had not loaded our guns because we couldn't kill ducks witout da robo

The real decoy are pretty awesome but pricey. No string to get dog tangled up.

Jerk rig is infinitely more effective than anything I have ever hunted over. I used to hunt NWRs a lot and when they supplied decoys I would hide them in the blind or otherwise get them out of sight and use a 3 decoy jerk rig and even stale birds would swing around to see what the hell was going on. Have done the same thing with field goose decoys....3 Canadas in a row simply rotating 30 degrees side to side and birds would come like they were on a leash. Some of the best crane decoy shooting I ever experienced was with an old man in Pampas Texas who had 3 stuffer cranes with a piece of rebar for a stake. The wind blows all the time in that area and those 3 decoys would wobble and flop and do all manner of shite cranes do not do and it made no difference the big bastards would lock up a mile away and glide right into them over and over again. Doesn't always work but when they know more about decoys than Flambeau or any other decoy manufacturer it can.
