Do you guys that own/have ran them prefer the silver thunder extreme or wet one?
I have listened to the sound files on his site but having a hard time deciding between the two.
Get m both

Can`t go wrong with either. I got my Silver Thunder for wet days and to complement my Crystal Mistress in sound. Also, the corian backside of the call makes a nice surface for soft calling. Used it to soft cluck, yelp and purr with a Fowler snakewood to call in a late afternoon bird this year.
I love my aluminum/corian Silver Thunder. I use the corian side most.
Silver thunder extreme, get Al's carbon tipped striker to go with it.
Great call wet or dry
Thanks guys. I do like the idea of using the Corian side as a second call surface, I like how it sounds on my screaming demon 2. I thought the waterproof aluminum would be a perfect call to compliment the demon on rainy days. It rained a lot this year so it got me thinking about more waterproof calls.

Yep, just rough a patch of the corian with some scotch brite. I find that you might have to do it a couple of times during use. You might think that they can`t hear it, but they can!

Ditto on the carbon tipped, too.

" Excellent herring"? They have fish? Just kidding!!
I like the wet one just a little better and have owned both. Wet one is as good as the silver fox, my favorite alum and the waterproof striker works well. The thin corian wet wonder, thats a real nice wet call too. Hard to go wrong :icon_thumright:
A gentleman on here made my choice a little easier. Offered me a thunder extreme at a price I couldn't turn down. I'm going to try my carbon tipped striker from perfection, yingling fiber rod and and an acrylic tip from Bill Baublit. It should sound good with 1 or 2 of those.
Besides the carbon tip/ carbon rod strikers—— bloodwood on dry days really sound good on my silver thunder extreme.

Thanks.
I will try a couple bloodwood strikers on it when it gets here. I have a Halloran and Bill Baublit that sound great on a lot of calls.
The Halloran bloodwood is what I use on mine.... :icon_thumright:
