It's dependent for me, sometimes the morning are really humid. If so I go with a ceramic. Prefer a slate for soft talking.

My 3 favorites are:

Jon Hoff - zebrawood - glass
Halloran - wenge/walnut - grey slate
Dustin Jones - walnut - double glass/slate on back

Some days I’ll switch a few out. Cedar glass call from Jones, cherry and Purple Heart double glass from Halloran. I have a few others…
Sterling Custom Calls, making handcrafted box and trough calls.

This is an easy one.

I only ever hunted 2 friction calls for the last 20 years.  And I just bought a new one that'll have to see some woods time............

My own walnut slate/glass
Hally Caller Professional Series walnut slate/glass
Redbeard 4-track player figured yellowheart slate/glass
PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

This is a tough one, I have way too many to chose from.
If I was going to hunt in the morning there would be these three calls in my vest with a heavy assortment of JLH strikers.

Enticer Double Trouble: this is the one call that never leaves my vest. You can talk quiet with it and scream on it as well. Out of all the calls I have this 19.95 pocket call is the one that never gets replaced.

A ceramic… I have quite an assortment of ceramics, being it is my favorite surface but if I had to pick one right now I would have to give the nod to the Schaffer I just picked up at unicoi,before that it would have been the Big J calls ceramic made in a Beatty designed pot.

My third would have to be my Buster green slate in persimmon pot. I covered my screamers with the above two and can really tone it down with this call. I’m waiting on a red slate in persimmon from him to compare the two but this green slate will be hard to replace.

And since I don’t like odd numbers… my fourth would be my glass in Osage pot from clay Townsend.

Like I said really hard to choose, but the double trouble never leaves. Need to order a replacement for that one just in case of emergency

Update to my list, Roger Parks Double spur and a pot I made the day before yesterday. I’d put that one up against any of the custom ones I’ve bought over the years.

1. For me would be a Paul hicks glass over slate in a walnut pot. It never leaves the vest

2. Is a crystal mistress

3. Varies depending on weather conditions but recently acquired a copper 2 slider from Mr. Yingling that is definitely going to see some woods time as well as a Robert’s cedar slate.

I rotate several calls in and out throughout a season, like several of us probably do on here, but I’ve had the most success out of my first 2 calls listed and have the most confidence in them when I need to get something going

Oh wow, I couldn’t pick just three. I’m a pot call man, but not a master by any means. I very rarely carry boxes, troughs, trumpets, etc.

One that is always in my vest is the Cody Drop dead green slate call. A very underrated call that I don’t hear mentioned much at all. I was gifted this call and several matching strikers from Mr. Bill Zearing himself. This call sounds fantastic and I actually favor it over my spec 1 legend, world class, etc. that I own.

1. Cody drop dead green slate

2. Lonnie sneed heart breaker. I bought this call off this site after season last year but it will not leave my     
vest from now on.

3. Cody Spec 1 legend.

4. David Halloran twisted sister


I don’t own a lot of the pretty calls some on here do. My goal is to own calls that I’ll hunt. If I won’t hunt it, I can’t afford to buy it right now unfortunately. Maybe one day.

I hunt mostly my own pots, 2 are my favorites. 3" osage orange slate/glass and a 3.5' bubinga green slate/ glass. My favorite other call is a Supreme " Double Suicide by Steve Reeves. He is "tricky" to deal with but the calls are very nice. There are a lot of good pots out there, only trick is finding a vest with 30 pot pockets, lol. Z
