Flock of Flickers have FAILED to perform in FOWL weather
As is, these are just OK if you only hunt warm weather. The design is a poor set up. The tops of these Flock of Flickers are flat , thus any snow or ice builds up very quickly on top of them and freezes them. The wing freezes in place making them useless. Also, when using them in the water when the temperatures are freezing or below any water that gets splashed up on them also freezes on the tops and freezes the wings. Also you can not toss them into place. They will not upright themselves and the flicker end always ends up under the water thus useless.
So you have to wade out into the decoy spread that you have and place them individually. That's ok if you are hunting flat still shallow water in warm weather. But we hunt when the temperature is often zero or below. Also, the magnets that attach the wing to the mechanical part are not glued in very well, at least mine were not and two of the wings fell of and sank.... LOST!!!
I think with some design changes by MOJO they could be a very good product. But the way they are designed now is not acceptable in anything except warm weather hunts. They do not function properly in cold temps and you have to waste a lot of time trying to keep them from freezing and stopping. So you end up spending more time out in your decoy spread than the ducks do.
I contacted MOJO and tried to give them some constructive criticism and tell of my experiences with them. They listened and were nice, but it didn't sound like they have any intentions of implementing any design changes. They agreed that all my ideas would help to improve their product, but they did not sound to acceptable to implement any changes. I told them that this is just like "building mousetraps". Nobody built the best one on the first try. If they don't build them better then there competition will build a better one!!! Wait and see.
As they are now, sadly, I would NOT recommend them. I so much wanted them to work as advertised, but they just don't function in "FOWL" weather conditions!!!!
