Title: Do I need a one sided box call?
Post by: Alabama556 on May 14, 2023, 01:58:53 PM
The box call bug has bitten me. I have not bought a one sider yet. I see where some folks make a cost style one sider and others use multiple pieces glued together for one sliders. I think one sided calls make for a great hunting call just not as versatile.

Any thoughts?

I feel the same as you. Great call just not as versatile.
What did you get from Marlin?

I've had good success with a SSCustom one sider when gobblers would'nt respond to other calls. Easy to get great yelps, clucks, cutting and purrs

He talked me out of the one sider. Said his were easy to ply. I will hopefully have it this week.
