I am  huge fan of Hooks mouth calls.  It is all I use now.  But be aware if you call Scott be ready to talk turkey for 30 minutes!!!!!

Got some from Daddy Rat that I like quite a bit, also a Batwing from another member here who's name I can't recall, also makes lanyards and not Steve or Anyone. I can see him in videos playing a trumpet but can't remember his name, if one of the members could help me I wold appreciate it. Also as mentioned above Gooserbat makes a fine call as well.

Big fan of Daddy Rat calls. His “Blue Death” is my favorite combo cut mouth all.

Yes, thank you, I had Crow in my head but could only think of Val's company and I knew that was not right, thank you again.

Kind of off-topic, but worth stating...
A word to the wise: you can spend a lot of time and money chasing mouth calls when the solution really is to focus on learning to control the sound you make with any of them first.  Just sayin',...take it or leave it.

I have used 100s of different ones over the years and keep coming back to a Primos True Double which is a stacked call.  Just seems to work for me.

Those stacked frames are great, I agree. I ran the Deadly Double for many seasons before finding Gooserbat.

Another great one is Denny Gulvas and his Master's Choice. That is an incredibly consistent and easy to run call.

I'd echo what a couple of others have said.  I love Hooks because of the small tape.  Bought a call from Sadler McGraw this past Spring and holy cow it is nice sounding.

Basically don't buy anything you can find at academy or Walmart or other big box crap. I tried to learn on a promos starter pack and it delayed my proficiency a lot. I grew a lot on the Billy yargus MAD calls. I think it was the cutntouch of I remember. I found the Billy yargus blue cutter by Woodhaven and that is the call I really learned control. I have used some houndstooth but didn't like them as much as my friends do. For me I would say Woodhaven makes some of the best all around calls. I recently bought some pinhoti diaphragms but have not quite mastered them. I love the sound of both but the ghost right now is more of a soft before fly down type deal but the batwing is more of an all around call. It's really just all about what works best for you. I have lots of friends that will pull out the houndstooth Dixie yelper over anything else.

I've tried a lot of 'em  but there are a lot of folks making mouth calls.  Some are better than others.  I keep coming back to Hooks and some Woodhavens.  Scott Ellis makes a fine call for Woodhaven.  Hooks are consistent and they work for me.
