MOJO Outdoors HW100 Decoy Spreader, Black, One Size

I hunt tidal marshes in southern Delaware. The water is deep in most places and the current is swift. I bought these because I thought they help me to quickly set up. I have hunted them a few times now and here are the pros and cons: Pros- overall set up and take down is relatively quick. When spread out the decoys are spaced nicely. Cons- durability is a major issue. Each time I have set up I have had one of the decoy clips crack off and I had to recover an escaped decoy. If it was only one then I would have chalked up to a single defective clip but it has happened several times now. In the end I removed the supplied clips and replaced them with large brass decoy clips from Cabelas. Also, the center plates have bent after a few uses. Setting up from shore is very difficult since the arms need to be spread individually. Where I hunt the bottom is mud and therefore not wadable. So, I either have to set decoys from the bank or from a boat. I can see how these spreaders would be good for shallow wadable water.

Let me tell you why this is a must have fotr every duck hunter, from the beginner to the seasoned veteran. Because you don't even have to know how to call to kill ducks with the Mojo Jerk-a-spreader system in your spread!In many scenarios we've all seen birds flare from a call, or lack of a feeder or motion decoy. I've even seen them flare from spinner decoys after the first week of season. The Jerk-a-spreader can be used from the first day to the last day of season and never flare the first bird.It looks natural.. I used the two sets I bought during early teal season. That means I had 2 dozen duck decoys moving at once!! There's other motion decoy systems out there for triple the price, but you're going to accomplish the same goal with either system. So why not save money? Besides, this one is constructed of metal, not tent poles, so it won't break if it's very cold and icy. Mojo Jerk-a-spreader is well made too. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 5 star rating, is because the swivels that hook to the decoys could be upgraded. So I did it myself. Other than. That, this system is amazing.You will be glad you got a Mojo Jerk-a-spreader when there's no wind around and your decoys look like a crummy block of plastic sitting dead in the water. This system will turn every hunter into a pro.

Simple setup, easy to put away.

I have used these for a year now. Super lightweight for easy pack in. Makes the jerk rig look amazing and adds a lot of motion to the spread. Not sturdy enough to leave the decoys on here but the large clips make it easy to attach.

They worked as they said they would

One clip broke already. These are ok on a budget to get you through a season , they are a little cumbersome to deploy especially if you need a weight on it such as open water without weeds in current or wind ect. I use them for woodies and work heavily vegetated areas so they aren’t going anywhere without a sinker. Probably wouldn’t buy again but for the price if you need some cheap spreaders to get you by these aren’t too bad.

Once you get the arms spread and placed it works pretty well. I attached the 3 spreaders on a jerk line. The problem i had with it is deploying the spreaders and recovering them. The thin arms get tangled. The line gets tangled in the arms, and at 5:30 am in a boat in the dark it's a mess and very frustrating. I am going back to my DIY spreader made out of 1/2" CPVC pipe. Being able to lock the arms in place makes all the difference when deploying and recovering

Seeing up decoys is a breeze, I bought 3 and my buddy night 2, so we'll hook a couple together for a jerk rig or just drop them solo. Mix in a few singles and you have a great spread you can put up our take down in half the time.
