Trough calls
« on: April 27, 2022, 10:33:37 PM »
Looking to pick up a new custom trough call, anybody have any recommendations? The only ones I have/had are black slate, are there any other surfaces I should look into? I’ve seen some red slate one over the years that looked mighty fine

I have Cocobola and Cherry available.  I'm out of the Green Slate Cherry Troughs.  But have Red and Black in Cherry, and all 3 in Cocobola.

Trough Call Cedar With Green Slate made by Nathan Taylor of Higher Calling Custom Turkey Calls by shown with a Glenda Green trough call case, like the way Glenda designed it to carry the striker right along side it. A little story about Nathan, I met him August 2019 at the Northeast Call Makers Summit and he was selling these calls and others, I walked up to him and told him I did not have the money to get the call but I would like to know how you play them as I had never seen one before. A lot of times when I have told people that I did not have the money but I was interested in something they would either blow me off or tell me to come back when I had the money, Nathan did not do that, he took the time to talk with me and show me a couple of ways to run the call and was very friendly about it the entire time. That is why I chose to buy my first trough call from him, I liked him and liked the way he treated a customer that he knew was not going to buy from him at that time. He got my respect. I really like the call by the way, very easy to play.

Want something different? Check out Knock Out calls by Kyle Osborn. Different calling surfaces and all turkey?

thanks for all the replies and PM's, I have not made a decision yet but have had a lot of feedback. I did not know there were that many people out there making trough calls and quite a few at good prices, im sure I will end up with several more when it is all said and done
