Who males the best Aluminum call???
Your going to get a ton of different answers, because everyone has their own preference, but since you asked, ill share my opinions with you.
Gary Anderson makes a great plain anodized aluminum surface.
Lon Trice makes a fantastic aluminum pot in stoned, and anodized.
Kimmy Hanks Padauk aluminum is an absolute smoker of a pot. I know hes on the edge of being a production type call maker but he knows what hes doing and you can get one right now.
Wendell Rye of Lights Out Custom Calls makes a great aluminum pot and his pot design, striker design, fit and final finish of his pot calls are 2nd to none. He can build you a pot and have it in your hands in less than 2 weeks. His stainless steel pots are actually better than his aluminums and give you a totally different sound that not many birds have heard.
If you want a custom pot and to deal with a fantastic dude, get a stoned aluminum from Mark Cunningham. He builds a double sided flip over style pot with a slate on the back for ultra soft subtle calling. His call is extremely responsive to the striker and has the perfect amount of rasp that sounds oober hennish.
Thank you for your honesty. I will check into every one of those you mentioned
Don't over look Jimmy Schaffer. His bead blasted aluminum is hard to beat.
Lonzo acrylic aluminum,lonzo makes awesome calls period his stoned are some of the best.
Dawkins makes a great aluminum in a plastic pot that will hunt with the best of em.
Jimmy Schaffer had a home run with his atomic 13 aluminum
I'll second Darrin Dawkins stoned Aluminum in a plastic pot. Very sharp and crisp hen in this pot. It will reach out there but will tone down and has GREAT purrs as well.
Buster makes a good one.
Brad Roberts Walnut pot Raw Aluminum. Fantastic call.
Enticer calls makes a killer of a call can't beat price, all those mentioned also.
Schafer makes a great aluminum, so does Mark Cornelius, Lonzo, Dawkins, hate time say it cause the guy is a terrible businessman but Dustin Jones is good too. Good luck w him though. Out of the ones mentioned Schafer or Cornelius would be my best recommendation and that stems from the way they conduct business and Dawkins doesn't do wood pots anymore. If you're ok w plastic his are great as well. Just a FYI wrong section for thread
I'm liking my new redheart anodized aluminum from Mr Stuckey. All the ones mentioned are on point too, specifically Wendell (Light's Out) and Lonzo.

X2 Using Al's calls for over 12 years and they have produced for me, they work! And the price is right won't break the bank. :z-twocents:
