Robo Ducks

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.

This. I find it's just a pain in the arse generally. I'll use one if someone else in the group wants to. Otherwise, I'd rather do without it.

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

No. Its Higdon pulsating decoy.

I find this happens also. But as mentioned ours is remote controlled and if we do use them I turn it off after it gets the ducks attention

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.

Pull string in the marsh? And yea I have notice it gets there attention but they didn't want to commit. However late last year we had flocks trying to land right on the damn thing. I am going to give it some more hunts to make my decision. Would like to get a remote one but that's to much $, weight and bs.
Posted on 11/21/11 at 1:39 pm to GREENHEAD22
My mojo's are the baby Mojo's which are $69 and the remote kit is $59.
not too bad $ and weight isn't too bad of an issue.

Do you notice the birds committing more once you turn the robo off?
Posted on 11/21/11 at 2:38 pm to GREENHEAD22
Yes
ETA, well not everytime of course but yes they did seem to commit a little better after I turned them off.
I have all three on one remote.

I have the baby mojo as well, if I notice it again this week Ill have to go invest in the remote. I just figured they werent wanting to commit bc our pond was full of liliies and ther was no open water. That or something wasnt looking right when they got directly over us. They were never flairing, would circle 4-5 times but was like they just couldnt find a good spot to land. My lil bro is going tues to rake out a hole, guess we will see how that works. Teal had no problem by the way.

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

Yea Sat was sunny and you could tell it was attracing birds.

Found that to be true at daylight as well. Foggy days they have worked for me as well.

Found this to be true too.

It was today that I noticed the ducks not wanting to come in. Where I was the sky was pretty blue as well.
I am going to play around with mine for a little while. I will let my mojo's spin at sun up then turn it off 30-45 minutes after shooting hours begin.
