Finally got the photos for the spinner. The nice thing with the Mojo Wiring harness is it's, got the internal charger and i can put a romote on it if needed/wanted.
After all said and done, not including the original decoys I purchase over the past 11 years the total cost was. 8.99 for the harness and shipping

That call is wicked. Can you record an mp3 file? I think we would all like to hear it.

Well i heard some old timers say you could make a duck call out of empty shotgun shells. I have read several columns over the ideas, but have not seen any videos or how to exactly do it. So i started to tinker around with some old shotgun shells that i reload. I took two empty shells and heated them up with a propane torch till the plastic separated from the brass. I took two pairs of pliers. One holding the brass and the other one holding the plastic. Placed over the flame until the plastic started to melt. Pulled on the plastic and it came apart. I took the two low brass collars and placed them together. The stamping has to be facing away from each other. Then i took electrical tape and taped them together. It will look like a thread spool when your done. Blow through either end and it will make a Wood Duck whistle. Each side will give you a different whistle. I will try to upload some pictures on the process.

I heard that you could take an empty shell and cut a slot into it and it will make a duck whistle but have not figured that one out yet.
