I switch strikers from all different makers. A lot of the time i end up using a different one than the call came with.

Very good point made here. Just like pot calls, strikers should be experimented with on scratchboxes. Some won't work at all and some sound even better. Main thing is to keep them sanded and chalked.
And my personal vote goes to Basehore all day long. I have a few of his and I highly respect him as a callmaker. The all cedar is my favorite one.
