I would look at clear coating them. They will peel within a few hunts otherwise. Ours did.

fully flock them is the answer.

You gotta watch if you clear coat they will shine like crazy in the sun if you don't use something anti UV. Flocking doesn't work real well on floaters as it will get really wet and rub off when you throw them in the bag. Personlay I have a couple of doz of Flambeaus in my collection and they get used probably more than most peoples in a season and I have not seen any more wear and tear on them than most of my others. They will do fine for you. Welcome to the insanity that's waterfowling, maybe we will share a blind sometime next year

Waiting to find a good sale on the MoJo. How many MoJo's re you guys using? There seems to be a few other manufactures out there (LuckDuck) and wondering if there is any big downside to them or just stick with the MoJo which seems to be the industry standard?

We have 8 mojos and a couple of Lucky Ducks, though seldom use more than 2 or 3 at a time. We find that on some ocassions they are magnets and on others will act like duck repelant. Personally I prefer the MoJos, that being said get the ones with the rechargable 6 volt battries not the ones that take AAs

It was a slaughter when they first hit the fields back when for sure but ducks have evolved to them now. On good days robos are golden, on bad days they are duck kryptonite. I have both Lucky ducks and Mojos. I have never had a lick of problem with the Mojos but tons with the 2 way switches on the Lucky Ducks. For my money get a 2 pack of baby Mojos(drake and Hen) but as previously mentioned get the ones with the rechargeable battries, you should be good to go.

The Mojos that run on regular batteries eat them. Full day your changing them atleast once! I had good luck with the mojos this year. Every time they were out we hammered more ducks. I have had good days with just 10-14 floaters as well but did notice a larger number of ducks commited to the setup with the mojos spinning away.

They are a good addition to a spread. If they ducks flare up and arent coming in take them out and see what happens!
