Marlin Watkins

I wanted to post this call I received about a month ago from Mr Watkins. It's Bloodwood over Beech. I read back in Spring that a few guys were liking the sound of this combo and now I know why. One more combo to consider from Mr Watkins!

Thats one of my favorite combos from him. I have 8 of his box calls and every one of them is pure turkey. One of my favorite box call builders.

Very nice!  I am on his list for two or three more, and this combo will be one of them for sure.

Awesome call. There is a Marlin Bloodwood over Apple on Facebook that is one of the best sounding short boxes I have heard.

There's just something about a Watkins box that rings my bell. Very nice.

Is the bloodwood/apple the one Herman has posted on Marlin's page Mr. Rickey? If so I fully agree with you! That one is incredibly good as I'm sure yours is as well Will!

Your spot on about the bloodwood. I sent him some wormy butternut a few years ago and asked for a matched pair with whatever wood he recommended. Mr Watkins said bloodwood and I can honestly say the short box has the best mature hen sound out of all of mine.
