I wonder how much Marlin is in one of those Zink Wicked series box calls. He is supposta be affiliated with them somehow. Probably just by name only. It does kinda look like it might have concave sides (fiddle box) in the pics but I can't tell for sure. That the whole top is made to look like a feather is a little fruity. He must have at the very least helped design and approved of it. They cost $100. Has anyone played one? No ones getting on Marlins list for a real call anytime soon.

If he does, they're a steal.

Yeah, but don't forget what you thought about the tooth fairy
Hello: I designed the call for Fred Zink. The call is a fiddle box designed to be mass produced. However no CNC equipment is used and their made in batches of hundreds not thousands. The man making the calls has done this for a living for a very long time and their made in Pennsylvania. Most all of the calls I've had my hands on are very nice calls that I would hunt with any day. The beauty of the packaging that Zink uses is that it can be opened up and you can run the call for yourself before you buy it. Don't be fooled by package it looks vacuum sealed but it is not. The back pops off and you can run the call. I would recommend these calls to anyone but we're all different so run the call first and see if you like it.
Who dis?

Before you go talking about the man you should know him. It's Marlin answering your question.
Well, there's no way of me knowing that without asking was there?
I guess there is a tooth fairy then! Marlin rarely posts, but I guess he wanted to put that dog to rest.
Explain how Me asking about the Zink call and Marlin going to the trouble of getting on here (after a lack of any useful information) and explaining the situation himself has led you to believe in the tooth fairy? Did you develop the belief that he did hand tune each one?
Or have you always just been passionate about the Tooth Fairy.
I guess that I have always been passionate about the tooth fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny. I also know that Marlin did not hand tune each call.
Glad to see Mr. Watkins post on here, I would love to hear some more of his knowledge!
