Just for grins, Jeff, and to kick up a little interesting pre-season discussion! What say you guys, particularly those of you that have more than one of Jeff`s strikers?
Personally, I`m REALLY liking his tulipwood on my CM and Enticer call.

What a tough question! If we are talking one striker across all surfaces it's either heavy hickory or frogwood. If we can be specific as to surface then:
Slate=Hormigo
Glass=macasser/spalted sycamore top
Ceramic=snakewood
Aluminum=snakewood
But I'm gonna run whatever the bird likes on a given day.

Pernambuco is great on glass, slate (black and red that I know of) and aluminum that I've tried, but I'd never go anywhere without a Katalox striker for black slate. It really does depend on the sound you like though.

If your talking one striker, my favorite and by far the best striker I ever had the pleasure to put my hands on that works on every surface is a Spalted Sycamore top with a Macassar Ebony peg. Just an awsome, very versitle striker. I like it so much I added a back up.

They are all good but if I had to pick;
Slate: Persimmon
Glass/Crystal: Hormigo
Ceramic: Pernambuco
Aluminum: Snakewood
With all that being said a heavy cedar for soft calling on slate is unbeatable.

Only had a minute this morning to run them on a Dawkins pot. Going to mess with them more through the week. Season starts for me this Saturday.

I'd like to add I really like his weighted Cedar as a nice switch up. It tones down any surface I've played it on and has a nice clean two note sound. If I'm hunting hard hunted birds I'll sometimes opt for a clean sound since most hunters use nothing but rasp.

I also do not hesitate reaching for Jeff's weighted cedar. His hvy cedar and hickory were the first two strikers I received from Jeff in early 2019. They both still see a lot of playing time even though the flock has been slowly expanding.
