Cant help but notice on most shows now a days it seems that hardly anyone is using the traditional pole mounted Mojo's anymore and the Wonderduck is everywhere. I can definetly see why and have been looking at them and going to give one a try and it doesnt hurt to support a Texas based company. My question is with the different options with motors and attachments what do you have and what are your likes and dislikes about it? Any first hand reviews are appreciated, thanks.

Keep in mind that the reason they are on all the shows is because they are pimpin the product. Example: Why else would the Duck Commander crew be sporting the mother of all pieces of s#@t, Mossberg? Wonder ducks are like any other duck hunting tool. It has to be used in the right situation to be effective.

I have the butt up feeder hen with the timer, I ordered it with the mirror paddles but felt that they were flairing birds when they were committed when the paddles started back up and blinded em so I made some clear ones out of a plastic package, it seems to work really well. I also have a butt up pulsator and the thing I like about the wonder duck is that it doesn't have to be in 8+ inches of water to work like the pulsator needs.

Ya I dont ever buy something because I saw it on a show really and realize just about everything you see on shows these days is all prostaffed/sponsered crap jammed down your throat.
I already have a mojo, butt up feeder, and a swimmer, was hoping maybe i could replace all those with a WD. I hate having to replace my mojo battery every year and still got the wing nut screw kind. Butt up is ok but not a fan of its battery and like mentioned having to stomp a hole in the ground in shallow water just to get it to be upright. My favorite is probably the swimmer, but again dont like the battery set up.
Anyone else have any issues with theirs that they would change? Anyone have any experience with having both sized motors or forward vs opposite rotating?

Jerk string. Plenty of movement and attraction, no batteries, easy to use and kills ducks.

I like motorized, it's my own fault but I never hide the jerk string good enough or myself when using it With motorized I can just be still.

They eat batteries and are not as consistently effective as mojos. I expect the advent of thier timer add on to change this some but as a whole we've gotten away from using a lot of motorized stuff all together.

Used mojo dove w 1 wing for ducks to get their attn- works well and is a bit more subtle than big mojo duck
Anyone use mallard machine? They are cumbersome- but pretty awesome- suck in late season quackers pretty good
