Cheap, easy, home built MOJO remote!

[Big Boar]

Well it all started with trying to figure out how to make a mojo remote.

The reason they are great is because often geese won't land into your spread if your spinners are running. Also, ducks seeing them running time and time again may get suspicious of them, so shutting them off when the ducks are coming in could really make a difference to getting them to commit.

I mean how hard could it be? Its an on and off switch!! $50 for one plus taxes is a bit crazy. As I have 3 of them, it would have been a sufficient expense.

So I started digging. I ended up looking at a 6 volt remote on/off on ebay. (standard mojo is 6 volts) The item number is 261072949172, buy a few if you want.

For $13.50 total, I just thought I would giver a go.

I hooked it up and after 10 minutes it was tested to work. I moved the receiver box inside the duck, and went out to 30 yards. Seems like it works and all is a go.

Well the reason I only bought one, even though I have 3 mojos, is because this item is a 6 volt and the twin pack of baby mojos is 9 volt. So I bought this one and thought I would test it out on the 9 volt baby as I found some things online that said it should also work on a 12 volt connection. Sure enough, I hooked it up, and it worked!

If anyone eles buys one of these I will post up pics of how you hook it up. All tools needed are a knife and some electrical tape. Takes about 10 minutes.

Enjoy. Here is a video of the 9 volt working (click on the pic below)

nice work, looks awesome.

Do you find that the geese still come in even though the mojo's were off? We always turn the mojos off and take them right out of the spread when the geese start flying to be sure, but that seems to be a better option.

I've tried leaving my three MOJO's on , and turning them off, it doesn't seem to make a difference soemtimes .
WEe generally just turn them off when we see geese comoing in, but we get so many geese and ducks co ming in together that I never take them them out of the spread.
