Title: Sell me on 1 more call
Post by: 2flyfish4 on June 10, 2022, 08:21:57 PM
I have copper, aluminum, glass, red slate and green slate.

Sell me on one more call. I'm thinking crystal or ceramic, but leaning more towards crystal.

Tell me what I should get.

Thanks

Two excellent choices, I think you should buy one of each and figure out for yourself which one you like best.

If you've got glass I'd go ceramic.

Not really what surface you have but whose surface do you have? Lyman,Buster,Townsend or a Lonzo, you need one of each!

Personally i feel like glass and crystal are pretty close. In my calls I seem to get a little more out of my cuts with crystal than i do glass. So if it were me I would  lean more towards a ceramic or even a titanium playing surface.  But at the end of the day its  just another tool.  Some days your glass may get them tore up and the next day it my be slate.

This... more about how the specific pots you have sound rather than which surfaces you currently have

My vote is ceramic. I added one before this season and it ended up being the ticket! Birds came in on every hunt with it.

Gray slate

I like any surface on a well made pot......but, nothing equals that traditional whiny grey slate.

No doubt gray slate, the darker the better, in a domestic flavored Pot. Think Cedar, Persimmon, Pecan, Walnut, etc.  If I could only have one pot that would be my choice...but hey thank the world we can tote a sack full if we want...

Daybreak Padauk ceramic... For whatever reason I've fired a lot of gobblers that wasn't gobbling up with that call. I've got ceramic calls from several other makers they sound really good but that daybreak just seems to work when nothing else does. David Halloran makes a good one too.

My ceramic calls get more response than any other call in I carry. Something about a ceramic. I have 4-5 different ceramics and rotate them pretty much whenever. The two that I carry the most are a Big J calls ceramic in a mike Beatty designed pot, and a stumpy. I just got another ceramic the other day from old pro calls, it will be a runner too. If I could only tote one call it would be a ceramic pot.

I would recommend ceramic. Lots of great callmakers already mentioned.

Seminole Custom Calls, Red Slate and grab you a Titanium while you are at it. They are flat all time TURKEY TALKING MACHINES.

Have a good one

Grey slate and ceramic.  I find myself eventually using these more towards the end of the season due to consistency.  You should get both.
