Title: Frank Kochenderfer calls
Post by: Hunter_Turkey127 on February 07, 2022, 04:00:03 PM
A friend gave me his name, has anyone tried one of his calls? I just received mine and it might be the best sounding box call I've ever used.

I personally have never heard of him, but I'm not well schooled on turkey calls.  What are some of the others you have tried in comparison?   

I did find a video of him running one of his calls.   Pretty good sounding call.

I bought one last fall.  I plan my first use this spring.  I think it my call sounds fantastic and is very easy to make turkey sounds both low and loud.  The metal lid was a first for me, no chalk needed.  He is very responsive to questions and anxious to entertain any questions.

I forgot to add that you can check him out on FB and hear him play some of his calls.

Don't have one yet.  But I've heard him run a bunch of them.  You are right.  VERY good sounding paddle caller !!!!!!  With an aluminum paddle ?????   REALLY ????   Who'da thunk ???

Roger Parks makes ones just like it , in fact Roger was making them before Franks and Rogers sounds a lot better .. Also Roger just came out with one in a shorter version, check out Roger Parks on Facebook and listen to his new style metal lid box... The one he's playing on his Facebook page is Aluminum lid over butternut .. It's awesome call..

I've tried a lot of other calls and this is probably my favorite. I've tried Roger's, but I think Frank's sounds way better. I like that he tests every single call before he will sell them too.

I don't know of a call builder that doesn't test his calls before they send them out ... Glad your happy with your call .. I will stay with Roger myself ... but it's all what people hear in turkey sounds what you like and enjoy.
