Best John Sinclair Waterproof Striker
« on: January 19, 2020, 06:44:54 PM »
My GF is getting me a pot call from John Sinclair for my late CHRISTmas and birthday gift and I was looking at his strikers and he has several waterproof versions, what do you think would be the best one? I have all kinds of different surfaces so please feel free to suggest by striking surface or overall. Thanks.

I have his green one, and I find it produces great tone, but is a bit finicky to run - likes to be held in exactly the right angle - that said it probably wouldn't be a problem for a more experienced caller and I'm getting the hang of it the more I run it.

More than one, that is why I was hoping to get opinions on them. Here is a link to his striker page. https://www.johnsinclaircustomcalls.com/strikers.html

Thank you. I am not seeing a green one on his site right now, could be he has not updated his sight yet for the year so it is not showing ot maybe his discontinued it?

I will have to ask him about it the next time he and I talk on the phone, as I said above right now it is not showing on his site. Thanks for backing up what Loyalist84 said.

Lol. Thanks a lot guys!
I purchased 1 of his call on this forum last year and it came with 2 strikers: 1 was the green 1 ya’ll are talking about. I could not get it to play on anything, I was really baffled at how bad the striker was or how bad I was.
I just tried it on a call after I wet the top a little and it sounds amazing. It is crazy that it will not play at all on a dry call but will sing on a wet one.

This info is much appreciated.

That he does, I have a Mexican Bocote wood pot & Titanium Surface pot that I picked up here 2 years ago and it is VERY loud and sounds good as well. I just won't play it in the blind anymore, it will about make you deaf.

I won't hear the turkeys either! I hold it just outside the port window and play it now.
