I switched away from Hooks and over to Woodhavens because the Hooks would fall apart to easy after using them for a short period time.
Fell apart?Im sure if ya contacted scott he would make it right,just saying!!

I agree...... just about any call maker would make sure you got a good caller. Especially Scott.

True but I would rather put my trust in a call that you can rely on when you need it like a WoodHaven.

So if you get a Woodhaven that slipped through the cracks....... who is next on your list...lol Seriously....... what works best for you is all that matters. We are just trying to tell you that it's not the norm for Hooks calls to fall apart and even the Best makers can have some that don't hit the trash can.

I am sure the call fell apart because of the tape. All call makers were having big issues with tape for a short period of time. I don't know Scott or anybody at Hooks but I do know that it was not just them that had problems. I got some calls from the almighty Woodhaven last year that had wrinkles in the reeds and weren't even cut. So it can happen to anybody.

Devastator. Haven't tried the Executioner 2.

IMO, Hooks are the best out there... I've run woodhaven and xt as well, there's an xt that I really like, can't think of the name of it...  But overall, between performance, ease of use, and most of all, customer service, it's hooks for me... As far as specific calls, they have a lot I like... I'd recommend the champions pack with the sassy girl 2, the shockwave 2, the persuader, and the hustler... I also like executioner and executioner 2

Is there an Agenda here? 

It's cool if you want to use woodhaven calls (or any brand) but the guy asked for an Opinion on which hooks call to use... If you dont use them, that's ok, just dont reply to the topic, especially if you havent even tried to resolve the problem with hooks.

I've never personally had any problems with Hooks calls and the guys seem to be first rate, in my dealings with them over the last 4 years.  Like others have said, If you have an issue with them, they would be the first to help you fix it.

Just ordered 8 calls from Scott yesterday. I take crappy care of mouth calls and I lose a couple in the dark every year...I love that he has small frame calls in a variety pack...

No agenda at all. Just stating a fact that in my opinion that I was not happy with the quality of the Hooks call and was dismayed how quickly they came apart. I'm sure their customer service is good but I would rather have a good product and not have to deal with having to use a companies customer service. Never have had any issues with a Woodhavens call and am also a huge fan of the XT calls. The last I knew this was America and I have the right of Freedom of Speech and I was just stating my opinion. So sorry I upset you so much so that you think that there is some kind of conspricacy here by stating an opinion on a product. Geeezzzzzzz


I have absolutely NO affiliation with hooks but I'd say the same thing about any other company.  I'd say your experience with their calls is the exception to the rule because I've probably had 25-30 of their calls over the last few years and NOT ONE has had an issue.  I couldnt care less what call brand you use...totally your choice, but I dont think it's appropriate to come on and essentially bash a particular company in a public setting, while propping up another brand that YOU prefer better.

I'd feel differently if the OP asked "what's been yall's experience with the quality level of hook's products?"  or something similar but he didnt. You have the right to say whatever you want, I just dont think it's necessary to come on an internet forum (that 100's or 1000's of people can read) and go out of your way to prop up a brand of call that YOU like, while dismissing the OP's question all together and talking negatively about the brand he's asking about.
The OP asked what type of hooks call you prefer, and you dont prefer any of them so why comment?

redleg06, I agree..

I am a huge fan of the executioner and plan on ordering more of the hooks calls to try.  First year trying them and I ordered the executioner after reading all of the great reviews on here and I am a FAN of them now.
