Title: My new display will hold 3 more pot calls
Post by: Meleagris gallopavo on December 24, 2023, 04:27:44 PM
My new display can hold 3 more pot calls.  The ones I get need to be hum dingers.  What 3 pot calls would you get to complete this display?  Not gonna get them all at once, just want to be thinking about some for down the road.

If you don't have one, look at Billy McCallisters crystal over carbon in a canary wood pot.

Clay Townsend Osage glass over slate .... With his Osage diamondwood striker .... if you don't have anything from Mark Cornelius or Buster - Larry Halford ... IMO any of these guys build awesome pot calls alone with several others ....

I have multiple calls from all 3.  I have 2 glass over slate pots from Clay, including a mud-cured osage/snakewood peg striker.

Paul Platz Maple Slate, Cody Spec1 slate, and Brad Roberts Blue Mahoe Bronzed Glass. These are my 3 best Pot calls in my arsenal for sure. You probably have most or all of these. Good luck......

Actually I don't have any from these makers.  I know they're top shelf, but also difficult to obtain unless you find some on the secondary market.  I think Cody calls can be ordered, but the website has been removed.

Forget Cody, get a Brad Roberts slate he's still making them or grab one from the classified, they pop up from time to time. He makes a great glass too

Brad Roberts is pretty accessible. He is on Facebook I believe.  Yes, Cody is now tough to get. The Platz  has become difficult, he now makes very few calls. Secondary market is the best bet. Good luck....

Thanks my friend....took awhile to get the Platz and Roberts. I bought my Spec 1 in 1994 from Cody, (first year) for 75 bucks. Turns out to be a good investment...

Redbeard makes some KILLER stuff !!!!

I've got a slate/glass/canarywood that just screams.

Something a guy with a friction call display MIGHT wanna consider is an heirloom call from the 2023 NWTF Earl Mickel Award winner Miss Sherry Brown.  The artwork on her calls is BEYOND comprehension !!!

Check John Sinclair he make calls in most woods, his titanium is awesome, everything he makes is good will work with you and give you what you want, ceramic over aluminum or slate, great calls
