What are your favorite pots and strikers for wet weather? Also, does anyone make a decent box call that works well when wet?
Thank You!
Ceramic pot or one of the Enticer Turkey calls - Wet one classic in corian pot something along this line, others make them also along with alum shaft strikers etc. My favorite all weather striker is one of the old Wood Wise mystic Striker sticks that works wet or dry.. It just depends, but in a heavy down pour, I'm going to stay home or in the truck waiting it out ... just light showers and such, i'm in the woods. You make plans and adjust what you need on the bad weather days calls, rainsuit, plastic garbage bags, bread sacks to put your call inside to still be able to call ... Primos / Knight Hale all made wet playing box calls with special type coating material ... By the end of the season it takes me half a day to remove all the items i have accumulated in the back seat ...
Ceramic pot with Bill Lyman Carbon tip striker
I don't bother with them when it's wet. striker is probably the key when wet. I used to have a carbon striker that I put a dab of jb weld on the tip that would work well wet.
None work as well as when they are dry BUT, Mike Yingling makes a great copper call that works well with his carbon fiber striker
I think that I have a "Woods Wise" that works well in the rain. I believe that is who made it. Also have a box call box call they made or maybe "Penn's Woods". I have quite a few boxes and pots. Seems like one of them called the box, "Wet One" and maybe "Black Magic" I have used pine tar, pine sap, some folks call it "pitch" on lids of box calls
Have a good one and May God bless

It sure why guys don't think call will run wet. Enticers def do. He's got a video of running calls directly under a running faucet. A friend bought one and it sounded pretty good. Better than I ever saw it ran on you tube. First thing I did after getting it was put it under full bore running faucet. It ran well.
Any box call if inside a bread bag runs normal when it's wet or raining .

This is all you need. Run it on your favorite pot.
I have an old H S Strut carbon striker that will work in any weather. Actually it's the only striker I use. I bought several back in the day and not sure they make the one I have any more. I've lost 3. I'm down to one so I make double sure it makes it back out of the woods every time. Again, I'm not a pot user much but they can be deadly when I've used them with that striker.

Carbon tip or Gooserbat'sif you're really concerned about water.
I'm not running any of them in a torrential downpour, but you can mostly keep a pot dry enough in light rain etc that it doesn't usually matter too much.
Rain chalk is also something i keep in my vest for strikers in general.

Thank You! Can you tell me more about rain chalk?
A mouth call or my push pull box in a plastic bag.
Enticer wet wonder series will work in anything and sounds good

Are there any wood calls that will play well when wet? Maybe one that has been stabilized?
