Any suggestions on what striker would make an older Daryl Slaton copper call light 'em up???
I have a slayton copper but it's not that old. A dymondwood and yellow heart work well for me.

Thanks Happy...I've used a hollow carbon striker on it and it does sound good but difficult to be consistent...
I don't have a Slaton copper call but black locust has always worked well on my copper calls.
Happened to have a dymondwood here from another call...YES! What a difference!
Thanks!
Been thinking about a black locust for some time...Might get one anyway...
What kind of strikers did you get with your Slaton copper pot? I use a few different laminated strikers I got from him that sound good. I got a Black Ebony that sounds great with the copper. My two different Persimmon Strikers on the copper as well. I am going to get me a Yellowheart striker next. I have heard they sound awesome.
I'm not sure what wood he used...It's a thin striker. Looks like something in the oak family. It sounds good but I was looking for something with a little deeper sound quality...Dymondwood with a flair tip seems to be the ticket!
Zebrawood is a good choice for Copper.
