Who makes the best copper pot call??
I have several copper pot calls but my favorites were made by Mike Yingling and Lary Gresser. Mike's cast copper pots are in a league of their own in my opinion.
The only copper pot call I've held onto over the years has been a Spring Allure copper call in a bubinga pot. Mike Yingling also makes a good one.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170101/fc72419f0342e39d1243a0e7656a48bc.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170101/45127268ce99139c7dd9ec43c0f8570c.jpg)

Here are my cholla cactus pot calls made by Mike Yingling. One of the copper calls is in my vest on each hunt I make.

Nice!!! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Slaton, my choice by far!!
I don't own one but one of the best copper I've heard is a Brad Roberts. Don't own it simply cause I haven't yet ordered it
I'm a fan of Yingling coppers as well.

Larry Gresser is the best one I've ran. I have a Frank Kruer that is also great. I'll never get rid of either of those.
Frank Kruer makes the best but he doesn't make them anymore.
Personally I am a fan of Daryl slaytons copper pots. Don't hear his name mentioned much but I was impressed with mine.

Mike yingling makes an awesome copper call
I'm a big fan of copper calls....the best I've heard is Sinclairs 3.25" copper in a cocobolo pot.
It's a new pot design that he came out with late last year...

I just ordered a copper pot from Brad last night.
What wood? I came really close to getting one last year, but ran out of turkey call money with all the others I bought.
I'm a Daryl Slaton fan, love his copper pot call.

Awesome call. I have probably owned 20 copper pot calls and I have not found one I like better than Mike's cast calls. I have called in and killed several nice gobblers with mine. That is the true test for the call.
Mike Yingling!
I don't think Mike could make a bad call if he tried...............LOL
At least he wouldn't try and sell it!

As always, my money goes to Mike Yingling. Love mine and haven't heard one any better to this point.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is so special about a copper call over a glass or slate. I have never used a copper call. Trying to find a sound file. I will look on you tube.
Hello mtns2hunt. I cannot confirm that copper has any magic to it, but I will say this: I always prefer to have different surface pots in my arsenal with several different strikers as well to get a Thunderchicken to holler and ready to play. Just my $.02.
Another vote for Mike Yingling! Love mine and it talks pure turkey!

Copper produces a unique pitch and is pretty low maintenance compared to certain surfaces
I've not personally seen where it takes less maintenance but I'll agree that it has a sound all its own. Just put mine in my "backup" vest but I'm certain it's going to flip flop throughout the season. Heck, I'm not really certain that my backup vest won't see equal time this season.
Give Lee Chadwick a call.
I just bought a 3 1/4" copper in a laminated birds eye maple and walnut at the Unicoi show. The guy's name is Scott from Bearded Hen Turkey Calls. He's relatively new to marketing his calls but he's got it down! That little thing has the sweetest yelps you've ever heard!
If you need a nice call, he's got a bunch of them and Scott and his wife Lora are a couple of the nicest people you could meet. Scott goes by Mossyhorn2 on O/G.
My best cooper calls that usually ride in my vest are Mike Yingling copper and a Misfire (Lee Chadwick) copper in Sapele pot...
Guess I'm only half right so don't listen to me what do I know

Wasn't trying to make it out like that at all. Maybe yours hasn't required as much maintenance. Mine just seems as though it wants to smooth out a bit more than I'd like. Touch it up and go. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers.
I don't use copper but Andy Kaiser makes a good one. My wife likes hers.
It's hard to beat John Sinclair custom calls. I have a couple 3" copper over slates. They are deadly....
I don't have one from Mr Yingling or Mr. Sinclair. I do know of one certain Spring Allure bloodwood copper that has called in a lot of long beards to their death by several different hunters.
I have a Sinclair brass that needs to be field tested as well.
I just ordered Ron Clough's VIPER copper caller through Midwest. Can't wait for it to arrive.

X2. I have more than a few of his calls in my arsenal. You will not be disappointed.
Gresser Cocobolo
I have a Scott's Custom Calls copper over glass in a stabilized green ash pot. He makes fantastic looking calls that sound great too. He will also customize a call to just about anything you want. His customer service is very good. I'm not a salesman or friend, just a satisfied customer.
