Episode Details

Jeff and Carson sit down with Terry Denmon, CEO of MOJO Outdoors, for a nuts-and-bolts look at modern motion decoys—why the Big Blade matters, how to run spinning wings around pressured ducks, and where water-motion tech is headed. Terry also walks through MOJO’s newest gear—the reengineered Mallard Machine, the diving Dabbler decoy, and the 25th-anniversary Silver Mallard—plus the season outlook that’s shaping early hunts.

In this episode:

• Big Blade, built for the flash game — quiet design, ~700 RPM target speed, and why wing speed matters for long-range pull.
• Running spinners on pressured birds — treat them as attractors, not finishers; move the unit ~75 yards off the hide to keep birds working.
• What’s new from MOJO — the lithium-powered Mallard Machine (buoy design, hard water push), the diving Dabbler duck, and the Silver Mallard anniversary decoy with a QR-code weekly giveaway; now hitting stores (~$99).
• Big Blade availability — delayed by trade issues but shipping to retailers within weeks; a few prototypes already proved out last season.
• Season notes — early teal framework trimmed to 9 days and pushed later into September; what that means for timing and travel.
• Behavior & weather — more nocturnal use and mid-season shifts demand flexible spreads and better water motion.

If you’re tuning your spread for pressured birds—or deciding which motion tool to add first—this one’s packed with field-ready detail and clear takeaways.
