Title: Clay Townsend or Lonzo?
Post by: InmemoryofLMC on January 25, 2023, 08:00:23 PM
Looking at buying a new pot call. What do y'all think? A Lonzo or Clay Townsend?

That's  a matter of your preference, both make awesome pot calls ...

If I could only have one I'd probably take Lon's, but yeah I'd get both if at all possible.

Both make to notch calls. I've got a few from each, all players. Might depend on what surface your considering?

Get two from both of these makers in different surfaces and you will have what you need to last a lifetime unless you have an addiction like most of us on here.

All I can speak on is Clay's glass call. It's a sure fire player and you should be able to get it really quickly.

You can't go wrong with either. They both make excellent calls. If you were only going to buy one that would probably depend on the surface but like many have said buy one from both and you will be happy you did.

Haven't played one of Clay's, but have owned a handful of Lon's and they were all excellent runners.

Eeny, meeny, miney, moe............

Either one is a no-brainer choice.

But, I'll toss something else in the mix for you.............  Ever play a Madhatter Track Player by Redbeard ??   Got my first one at Unicoi this year.  GOOD LORD !!!!!!!!    :z-dizzy:

One from both.

Lon specializes in stoned aluminum and crystal over carbon fiber calls. Clay makes a mean glass over slate and colored slate calls as well as makes great matching strikers.

Both makers are top end of the price range but Lon will be just a touch cheaper.

I was thinking this when I posted. If I got one from each I'd get a stoned aluminum from Lon and a glass from Clay.

I have about 25-30 of Lonzo's pots and probably 10-12 from Clay. Both of those guys
make exceptional calls and I usually carry 3-4 of them with me on a hunt. I wouldn't hesitate
to hunt a single call from either one of them. You should definitely get a stoned aluminum
from Lonzo and an Osage glass over slate from Clay, both of those are killers.

Aluminum or slate I'd go with Lon

Glass probably Clay

There is a beautiful Osage Slate from Clay with matching 2 piece Snakewood striker in our Classifieds right now. Great combo. Striker is one of the best....
