MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ Review

The MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ Made a Bold First Impression

The MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ arrives ready to transform your spread. This simple, yet ingenious, system promises to make decoy deployment and retrieval a breeze, especially in deeper waters. I’ve spent years wrestling with tangled decoy lines, so the promise of a tangle-free, depth-adjustable system from MOJO really piqued my interest.

For years, I’ve been struggling with traditional decoy rigging. It’s always a mess of line, weights, and tangled chaos in the decoy bag, leading to wasted time in the blind and frustrating mornings. I was specifically looking for a system that would be quick to deploy and retrieve, adjustable for varying water depths, and most importantly, resistant to tangling.

Upon unboxing, the MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ impressed me with its simplicity and seemingly robust construction. The 4 oz weight feels substantial, and the lines seem durable. The entire package exudes a sense of practicality.

Compared to traditional J-hook rigs, or even simpler snap swivel systems, the MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ is vastly different. I considered using a bungee-style rig, but those felt too flimsy for the currents I often encounter. This system feels more secure. My initial reaction was optimistic; the design appeared well-thought-out, promising to resolve many of the frustrations of traditional decoy setups.

Real-World Testing: Putting MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ to the Test

First Use Experience

My initial test took place on a brisk morning at my local reservoir. The water depth varied from 4 feet to about 8 feet, providing a good range for testing the adjustability of the MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″. I was primarily targeting mallards and teal.

The rigs performed admirably in these conditions. The weights held the decoys firmly in place, even with a moderate breeze creating some surface chop. Adjusting the depth was straightforward: simply slide the weight along the line. After a few tweaks, I had my spread positioned perfectly.

The first time using them, the learning curve was minimal, taking only a few minutes to familiarize myself with adjusting the depth of the line. Initially, I was concerned about the line slipping through the weight in stronger currents, but that never happened. There was one minor hiccup where the crimp on the loop attaching the decoy looked a little loose, but it didn’t fail.

Extended Use & Reliability

After a full season of use, the MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ has proven to be a reliable and time-saving addition to my decoy arsenal. They’ve held up surprisingly well against the rigors of constant deployment and retrieval. There are no significant signs of wear and tear beyond some minor scuffing on the weights.

Maintenance is virtually nonexistent. A quick rinse with fresh water after use is usually all that’s needed to keep them in good condition. Compared to my previous experiences with tangled J-hook rigs, these have dramatically improved the speed and ease of setting up and taking down my decoy spread.

These outperform my previous rigs in terms of ease of use and tangle-free storage. The MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ simplifies the entire decoy deployment process. I’ve not been disappointed.

The system’s greatest strength is its tangle-free design. This design saves significant time and frustration. The only weakness is the fixed 36-inch length, which can be limiting in very deep water. Overall, it meets and even exceeds my expectations for ease of use and reliability.

Design & Ergonomics

Accessories and Customization Options

The MOJO TEXAS STYLE DECOY RIG 36″ comes as a standalone unit. No specific accessories are included. Customization is limited to potentially replacing the line with a different material.

It’s compatible with any decoy that has a standard attachment point. It is also worth noting that while not directly compatible, you could adapt these rigs with additional line for deeper waters, though that defeats the purpose of the tangle-free design somewhat.
