Cabela's Vortex Spinning Wing System

[Rivermallard]

I am looking for one of these systems and have been informed by Cabela's that they are no longer making them. Hunted over one the last day of the season this year for the first time and was impressed. Anyone interested in selling one in good condition? Please let me know if you do. I do not need the mojos but would considering buying the whole package for the right price. For that matter, anyone have any bad experiences with this system? Thx. a bunch.

Never used one. Don't have a report, but I'd like to know myself. I'll keep my eye out.

I've hunted over them a few times and they were very effective, especially in the early part of the season. I've seen ducks come straight to the center of it and almost land on one. They can be a real pain to set up. On the wind driven wings set up you've got to get the line just right or the wings won't flap. You've got to set the line holes in the neck of the decoys just right. Many times, we resorted to duct tape to balance out the line distance from the arm to the decoy. I don't care if I ever put another one of them together again. When you set up a couple of mojos and this contraption, your spread looks like a county fair complete with a tilt-a-whirl.
They are also useless on very windy days. I've gone back to jerk-strings!:D

My buddy has one but I don't think he'll sell it. Any of you that have problems with the vortex being weighted down by mojos, you might try to use the mojo doves instead. The birds didn't seam to mind that we made the switch and they are very light.
