i got my mojo wind-activated duck for about $20 and made an adjustable post for it.  i also have been using a jerk cord out in front of it...works good to get motion in and above your deeks.

Birds in Skagit figure out winduks fast. Every time they get near one, They get shot at. Then there are the gomers that think... If one works. 6 is better :bash:
Aero or knotty stop..
Watch birds in Nov. They fly towards the motion on winduks. Then flare away. They work for stopping birds from landing some where you don't want them to.
The Aero is a rattle trap though. It is better to just buy the guts and put in a Avery full body feeder.
Bird counts in signature are as gay as Elton John's fanny pack.

There are a number of pull string wing flapping and wind driven decoys available online. I've used a variety of them, they all work at times and not at others.  One consideration is the jerk string to decoys on the water.  I've used this later in the season when spinning wing decoys start to flare the birds.  The water jerk strings can be as effective as spinning wing and on those blue bird, calm days, quite deadly.

What ever happened to the decoys that had a 20 foot piece of speedometer cable hooked to a spin cast reel? A buddy of mine had one and sold it a couple years ago for 400.00 bucks. Why did they quit making them, or do they still?

Check out the Winduck's, they seem to work good for me. I'll use half dozen of them early in the season, maybe 1 are 2 later when they start getting decoy shy. Usually the best price is on there site http://www.winduk.com/. No batteries to worry about, and if it's not windy it's usually not worth hunting anyway.

 :yeah:

These are awesome.... even when its not windy.
It adds elevational depth to the spread.
And can be seen from a long way off.
