The will play just fine without them, the rubber bands are there to help you use the box for gobbling. They don't effect the way you play the call for hen talk.

Take a big rubberband and rap around the lid and box to keep it quiet in your vest.

If that don't quiet enough for you stick a business card in it before you put the rubber band on.

You don't mean this, do you? Referring to band placement. This is a different Lynch's call.

Anything will work to silence that lid. I used a small cloth between the paddle and box when I wasn't wearing my vest which has a pocket designed to keep the paddle seperated and secured. Those bands in the pic you posted are for helping maintain the right position of the paddle when calling, just as it does on the one I have (I was told).

I think that the guys were referring to silencing the call by wrapping a band completely around the outside of the call.

Rubber bands are a commodity and you can find them and replace them.  Inquire to Allen Jenkins, former owner of Lynch, or the current owners of Lynch about the size of the bands.

Look up both of those companies on google and you will find pictures.  Once you know what size band,you will be able to rig them.

It uses a #18 rubber band available in the office supply aisle at WallyWorld.

Are the rubber bands necessary for calling?

Absolutely NOT.

If I took one of my Lynches to the woods, the rubber bands would be left at home.

Thanks!   There is definitely a difference in sound between the world champion and the fool proof.

That.......there is.

Being mass produced calls, there's quite a difference from one World Champion to the next and one Foolproof to the next.
