Jerk rig! Made one with a 3ft T-Post and a bungee cord
Probably a little late for the give away, but we use an old sump pump with fittings that shoot out in 4 directions and we tie off decoys to the center pipe so the decoys ride in the out flow.
Do you what the deepest water you can use this in ?
@@onlysanepersonleft it comes with a float kit so you can use it as deep as you want.
@@SurvivingDuckSeason Thanks for the quick reply. How many decoys can you use on this ? I see in the video you are using 2. Thanks again.
I actually have been tinkering with a homemade decoy spreader and so far I have been really happy with it.
I love to use the motion ducks decoy spreader with an auto jerk rig puller! It also makes packing decoys in and out super easy!
Jerk rig with a weight and bungie cord at the end. I also add other weights along the line and run the line under the weights to make it look like some decoys are feeding and going "butt-up". Either hand pull or attach a battery and custom pulley system depending on how far I need to carry heavy gear. Works in 4 inches to 4 feet of water. You also can't go wrong adding a Mojo or 2 and throwing sticks and stomping puddles for splashing. Always looking forward to the giveaways and hello from Ontario, Canada.
Motion ducks decoy system is my go to for water motion.
I just recently purchased a Motion Duck Decoy Spreader, it’s basically a jerk string on steroids. I love it. Instead of them moving in a linear line, it looks like a whole flock of ducks swimming. I also throw the mojo butt ripper in the middle of my spread as well.
Just really getting into duck hunting this past season, so a simple DIY jerk rig using an old mojo pole has been my go to for motion!
Jerk rig for motion is hands down the best!
We have a decoy swimmer system... this looks like a great portable system.
When on the go... we use mojos and jerk rig.
Glad to see youre back online!
Motion ducks! Great jerk rig!! And a few pulsators!
Bought a Lucky Duck Lucky Swimmer this year and I love it so far. Also can never go wrong with the trusty old jerk rig.
My favorite system is Motion Ducks. I usually swim groups of 7 or 10 and if I’m hunting with multiple guys I’ll set up 2-3 different sets. I hunt central TX mainly farm kinds and small lakes in the fly zones. Really helps pull them down into gun range. Thanks for the review!!
Motion ducks are awesome! They’re a local company to me. I run 3 together with 4 Texas rigs around them. We’ve run (at the height of migration) 13 rigs all connected to 1 line.
Growing up hunting on the creek, I would always gather up a bunch of chunky sticks. When the ducks would work over, I'd throw one in to splash the water and make a few waves. Of course, when the water got out in the woods, I'd use the old Lacrosse method and kick the water!!!
I like the dippers and vibrators--the Mojo's up in the air--not to sure about. Water motion devices are golden for me. Flock of Flickers were great but several sank immediately and several more just quit working. I love your videos; very informative and real for my hunting situations. Keep um coming!
Old fashion jerk string. thanks Joel.
I use a RC pontoon boat with a goose decoy mounted on it, it has wedges on the pontoons to displace more water and a kid drives it around the decoys.
We hunt the river a lot so I find a little bit of running water and depending where I put rig my decoys on the keel I can make the decoys move in all sorts of ways. Makes it easy and simple when space is limited in your boat.
Nice and portable tool. I made swimming systems for the blinds on our lease for about 125 each. Can make them any size and any amount of decoys. Our spread looks like a water park and consistantly have success
We use a couple of jerk cords through the spread. They put motion throughout the spread and provide plenty of ripples on calm mornings.
I like the flutter wing decoy mechanism from aero outdoors. It's not fancy but cheap and effective!
Pulsator and jerk rig. Learned the jerk rig set up from your video on that subject.
I like to use the Motion Ducks decoy spreader system. Very realistic!
I love butt waggers. Mojo does a great job at making them. Attracts the ducks.
I really want that jacket! Honestly so freaking cool! XL if I won. Finger's crossed!
Jerk rig and rippler decoy by mojo. Also a spinner with a remote. Thanks for all the great videos.
because I am new to duck hunting my go to is a jerk rig and a mini mojo. Out here in Arizona that will draw the ducks from quite a ways, often without calling.
In Oregon we cannot use any motorized devices. Decoy Dancer is the most amazing pull sting flapper decoy and in combination with The Last Stand, you get a jerk rig effect throwing ripples throughout the spread and allowing you to use it even in rocky bottoms where a pole cannot be used. It has been a huge advantage to have and by far the best motion combination I have ever used.
Simple grey conduit pvc pole about 5 foot long and 550 cord. Loops tied at various lengths along the line to the boat and various sized loops. Gets the decoys spread out and you just attach the Texas rig to the loop and the weight pulls the decoys back when you let the line go. Pretty simple diy jerk rig.
I hunt from a boat blind. I use a combination of a four position jerk rig and Higdon XS Kickers and pulsators. I also use Mojo spinning wing decoys in the early season, mostly attracting teal. But by mid season I have to pull those. By mid season I find that the Mojos definitely attract the ducks from a distance but when they get close they pretty much freak out.
I like the Motion Duck decoy spreader and my Higdon splasher flasher. Also I use the Mojo king mallard and a few Mojo ripple ducks.
I’m a big jerk string guy but I love my Lucky Duck Agitator. I love the motion it has. I tend to put it on the corners of the spread.
I like tying a bungee rope to a tree hook a couple of decoys to it pull it tight and then just let it go I gives a really cool chasing action. Love all your vids they help a bunch keep em coming.
I have found that placing a weight on a fishing line between your decoy and jerk handle allows you to swim the decoys with or against the current (as much line as you have), and lets you "pop" them in and out of the water when the line is taught and the duck is directly above the weight.
Hay Joel, I use the long lining method or a version of it.
It's 50lb fishing line or braid that's anchored to the bank. You can make it as long or as short as you want. The key is, it must be in open water and you have to have a steady wind if the wind is circling the decoys will get tangled up in them selves.
To rig run 100' of line at one end string on the decoy swivels ( I wouldn't do more than 8) then start with the last swivel tie a drop loop don't make the loop to long or the decoy will tangle. 2 to 3 inches is good
Then measure 3 to 4 feet this first decoy must be far enough away because it will slow the other decoys down. Too long and it can whip around and get tangled.
Now finish the rest of the swivels in groups down the line. Space them far enough so they don't hit each other. I do 18 inches to 2ft depending on the size of decoys, groups of 4 then 3 with 3 to 4 foot spacing between each group.
Now I take a 2 oz. Bell sinker and a foot of line tie those together and the other end I tie on a swivel this guy will then be connected to the last decoy at the end. The weight slows this guy down.
P.s. the swivels I refer to are what we use on the decoy rigs. ( snap swivels)
Also when connecting the decoys use the hole closest to the body of the decoys this will give it better action with less or light winds.
Thanks like watching! It was actually you that gave me the idea when you said don't do what everybody else is doing.
Up here in minnesota we can't use battery powered decoys for the first couple weeks of season which is one reason why I like the jerk rig. Its also nice because it is very easy to carry in and you don't have to worry about forgetting to charge the battery
We mostly use jerk rigs. We have a spreader but the stake we hunt the most has a elevation which makes spreaders hard to use. We got a Higdon pulsator and a flapper but haven't used them much. This product looks cool so I can't wait to see how it works out for you.
In the past it was a jerk rig, but recently we have moved to the pulsator mallard duck that works great!
My favorite way to get motion in the spread is cuttin ducks from the sky. They always make good ripples. “Motion Ducks” decoy spreader is a close second for public land.
I'm a "deep water" ~2 - 3.5 feet water public land hunter. So, lots of walking in and hauling gear in.
My go to has been a jerk rig with 2 mallards; typically right in the middle of my decoys so any ripples that are made can make my spread look more lifelike.
Jerk Rigs and Higdon Pulsators as well as Swimmer Decoys. We also use Flock a Flickers.
we use mojo's and jerk string with a decoy spreader...Have tried just about everything out there except something like this in your video. love your content BTW! Keep it coming! used your tip on the black ducks (painting old decoys as black ducks) it has given us some new life on a slow season for us!
Spinners are all I use but that needs to change. I will look at the DuxTrax for next year though because it looks awesome. Thanks!
I’m a ripple fanatic! I run three Duck Creek Decoy Flashbacks, two Battleship Swimmers, and two butt ripples. I used manual jerk rigs for decades, but simply got sick of the manual part. Also, with automatic ripples, birds you can’t even see yet can see your ripples (versus seeing birds when it’s too late and you’ve put down your jerk string).
I use trot line with clips and spreader for jerk rig. This looks pretty cool might look into it in future
Will for sure be buying this for next season!
Decoy spreader jerk rig with a foot pedal, keeps my hands free
Joel, I am a gadget guy myself. Always on the hunt for new ways to add motion. Unfortunately in Washington State we aren't allowed to use battery operated items. Which generally makes me rely on wind and jerk strings.
Glad to hear you got your computer fixed. I was starting to wonder if I had accidentally unscribed from your channel. LOL...
Always run a normal jerk cord in the center of spread near kill hole, then a wonderduck or 2 throughout the spread so when ducks catch you off guard there is still a little motion at all times!
I like using a Pulsator or two. I also have a motion duck spreader which works well if there is not a lot of vegetation.
I made a 4'x4' pvc square, pvc glued the poles together at the elbows, screwed eyes in the corners and the hook up four fully flocked dakotas. On one side of the square I have a 2lb anchor with elastic from walmart to give it that pull back. Bungie cord is great to. And then run the rope back to me. DIY motion ducks
I’m using a jerk rig I made. But unlike most rigs I ran my line through an eye on my anchor then up to two decoys spaced out with a light weight pipe. This way when I use the rig the decoys dive like they are feeding. I found this to give more water movement with the decoys bobbing up and down.
I use a couple of the Higdon pulsator splashes that way they are splashing all the time.
12 Flock-a Flickers, Mojo Jerk-a-Spreader and 2 old large metal wing Mojo Mallards. I add 4 quiver magnets on the really calm days.
I've only ever used a jerk-line. This video makes me want to try a motorized motion system though. Thanks for all the great content. New hunter this season and constantly learning from your channel. Keep it up!
My favorite motion tool is the Kirk McCullough mallard chaser. Game changer
Glad to see the videos back, our season is all done up here in VT. My favorite new way is the motion ducks spreader which Thomas from VOU got me into. It looks awesome!
I like a mojo or two along with a butt up rippler if hunting waterfowl, but also use a mojo and flock-a-flickers when shooting pigeon or dove
My favorite way to create motion in my decoy spread is a jerk rig. I’m actually looking to add the latest mojo jerk rig capable of handling a dozen decoys to my arsenal.
Jerk string is the main way. Sometimes you gotta think out of the box tho lol. I have been in situations where I've forgotten the jerk string at home or in the truck and had to use rocks. Throwing rocks in your spread can be effective you just gotta be careful not to hit your decoys. I have also used a tree limb that was there already. Give it a tug or 2 and it would give some movement. Looking forward to the review on this product.
My first duck hunt is this month so I will tell you my favorite after a few outings 😆. I can't wait!
This season was nice and windy here in Ontario. So I didn’t have too much to do. In fact, even the spinner wasn’t that used. Past season I had 5 decoys in a row on one line. I’d tie the end of that line to a 4’ long pvc conduit pipe, stick it to the ground and tie a jerk rig to it. Works but it’s a bit of work to set it up and carry early in the morning.
Jerk line is my favourite
I improved my jerk rig by taking tent poles and making a spreader with it for four decoys. I want to rig a rc boat to the bottom of a decoy sometime though. Haha
My favorite way to put motion in my spread is with spinning wing decoys and jerk rigs.
I put a trolling motor foot on an adjustable pole. You can use it in 6 inches to 6 feet of water. It pushes a lot of water.
Great review Joel! If I had a permanent blind to hunt I'd consider trying one. My go to for motion on the water is a jerk rig. When ducks are call shy it's fun to work them with the jerk cord! Have a great day!
Wind, when God is nice enough to provide it, is my favorite way LOL!!! When that don't work out, the old Jerk Cord is my go to favorite way to get motion (Modeled it off the one you showed in a video awhile back).
Sweet rig!
I hunt walk in public Access land in Idaho on a small pond. So I have invented my own what I call a jig rig that works the lot the same as a jerk rig but way more realistic. It gives me movement up to six teal decoy. It worked very well for me this year. It’s also small and compact. Like I said I have to walk in and I have been in a mining accident And have a hard time walking, So lighter compact and realistic the better for me.
Me and my buddy on still water generally use 1 jerk rig and motion pucks. They work good. Thanks for posting vids they help me a lot on how and where to set up.
I like the Mallard Machen and a buts up squitter
I use a jerk rig and spinners. The jerk rig also keeps the kids busy and involved in the hunt.
Jerk string when hunting the pond. Goose hunting I turn on my lucky duck flapper.👍🏻🦆God Bless Joel keep em coming
I just bought my first mojo can’t wait to use it but I’m still going to use the tried and true jerk rig
I like a simple jerk rig or two. Easily packable and “battery” never dies lol
If the battery does die..you prob wont need the jerk rig anymore anyway 😄
I usually run a mojo or two and a jerk cord, seems to work pretty well. That duxtrac system looks like it should work really well. Glad to see more vids from ya 👍👍
You can never beat a jerk rig it almost never fails you
I use a wobble butt and 2 full body mojo rippler decoys they work great and send ripples out around 7 to 8 feet
I use 2 lucky duck agitator ( butt squirters ) and it really does help .
Motion duck spreader jerk rig is pretty convenient & creates good motion
Just got back to sc from a few days in Arkansas. Shooting some specs and some ducks in some fields and in the timber but my go to motion decoy here in sc is a wonder duck, mojo rippled and a Higdon pulsator. I use a mojo here and there but not much due to every decoy spread that a bird flys by has one
jerk rig is my go-to for motion. Its hard keeping motion in big spreads for private rice so we typically run a few kickers and wobblers but my favorite by far is a tried and true jerk rig. there's one in my spread every day of the season if there's less then 10 mph of wind.
Mojo decoy spreader and instead of just jerking it i also let the wind take some line out and slowly pull it back, makes the decoy move like they are all swimming!
I use a combination of swimmer, wing spinners and jerk rigs. Great video, I'm going to look into the duxtrac asap.
We want to also let you know all of our products come with a 90 day guarantee from the start of your season..these are hand made in the USA..
What about after 90 days... first comment I read a guy purchased 2 of these and before the season ended 1 of them the motor crapped out. He stated you replaced it. Which is good. But he also stated by the end of the season both of them including the one you replaced previously for him already stopped working.... for that price your selling this and the fact it only moves 2 decoys. The motor should have a lifetime warranty or you shouldn't be selling this product. Waterfowl hunting is the hardest on all hunting gear. By far over anything else people hunt for. If you can't back your product with a lifetime guarantee and no questions asked replacement on a motor for something like this. It simply shouldn't even be sold. Even if it was $100 bucks if it only lasted 1 season or even 2 i still wouldn't buy it or recommend it to anyone. Not trying to be hostile or mean. But all waterfowlers know if your gear can't hold up to years of being used it isnt worth buying. Especially at the price your selling this product for.
My favorite way seems to be one or two mojos and a jerk rig would love a shirt or a jacket!
This being my first ever duck season I’ve started with a home made jerk rig and I’m tinkering with some homemade spreaders too
I like my shaker decoys running 3 ducks and 1 goose. I’m going to make a couple of jerk rigs
I like the lucky duck spinning wing ducks and the crazy kicker paired with a jerk rig.
We hunt in an area with a lot of hunting pressure and are always looking for something to draw birds to our blind. The best method we have found is to use spinners. We use 7 spinners, two wind whacked and two flappers. I also just bought a butt squirted for days with low wind.
Motion duck ultimate decoy spreader jerk rig, mojo teal floater, mojo mallard floater, butt up rippler, mojo rippler. Wind and current work well too if you don't have $,time or patience to keep it moving and grooving🪖
I hunt a lot of channels between lakes near my house and for motion I just like putting decoys near the edge of the current change between shallow and deeper waters, it seems to give them a lot of side to side and swimming motion. I will often also set a mojo near the edge to mimic a bird landing in my decoys as they move, it works real well in my area of MI.
I HUNT THE RIO GRANDE RIVER AND I USE A HIGDON SPINNER THAT SITS ON THE WATER, DUCKS TEND TO USE THE RIVER TO LOAF , IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK STECHING HIS WINGS. WORKS WELL WHEN DUCKS ARE IN THE AREA, BEEN SLOW HERE THE LAST FEW WEEKS
I'm a fairly novice duck hunter so the only motion that I've been able to try so far has been a jerk rig as well as some of the decoy attachments that are a little propeller and those worked really well on calm days except that the seal sometimes would leak and corrode the battery and I haven't been able to find them in stores anymore.
Jerk rig or motion ducks depends on the spot. A few mojo butt up ripples. As well as a king mallard mojo that I put just low enough that the wings catch the water and splash it around.
Just got my Duxtrac from Carl too. Hope to use it this weekend.
In Washington we can't use electronic decoys. So my go to is a whip splash decoy. Works wonders to get motion and grab attention.
I'm wa local too. Isnt bull$hite that they sell electronic decoys everywhere but we cant use them...
@@whitebuffalo3425 yeah it's super bull! Supposedly they are doing surveys this year to see if they will lift that law. I doubt they will, hunting and fishing in WA sucks.
@@keithjones7754 yeah, they did do a survey but the time for public input has expired. I voted against it. If they give us electronic decoys they are going to drop our limits to 5 birds instead of 7 and lose 20 days off the season. I dont need electronics to hunt and didnt want to lose days or birds so I voted no.
Good news is they are talking about a 3 drake pintail limit for next year...
@@whitebuffalo3425 that is a trade off. Where I'm at, it can be hard to hit a limit, so I don't really mind the drop. But I also don't mind a pull string decoy. So either way I'm fine.
@@keithjones7754 I think thats the logic behind it. If they make it easier to kill birds they lessen the limit. I more worried about losing days. I appreciate my time out and we have one of the longest seasons in the country...
When I was a kid, I rigged up a 12v battery and bilge pump to a decoy. This was way before the ones on the market today. Splashers, spinners, flashers, magnets.. I've used them all. I keep going back to a jerk cord
I prefer motion decoys system way easier to pack in and out! Great videos.
I’m new to duck hunting but the jerk rig looks pretty good , l may build one for us. Thanks Joel, God bless.
I use a quiver magnet, attached to a decoy so the decoys moves and helps keep the ice away during the late season.
