Title: Mad Super Illuminator Aluminum Pot Call Question
Post by: mountainhunter1 on July 17, 2025, 02:44:44 PM
Was at a friends house this weekend and he had one of the super illuminators, and it sounded really good. The model 300 is the one he had. Do some of you guys have this same call, and if so, what can you say about it? My question - is that one sounding good just a fluke, or do they all consistently sound that good. Pretty sure the call has a carbon fiber sound board. I will say this, this gentlemen has two or three more sitting new in the pack as reserves in case something happens to his current one. That is how much he likes that call. Was just curious and wanted to see what others had to say.

I bought that call new from Mark Drury at the 1996 NWTF Convention and it stayed in my vest 20+ years.  It was a Mike Battey design (I think) and yes, they sound great.  I have several that all sound the same.

I too have several. One I inherited from my dad.  I also have a new one still in the package "JUST IN CASE"

Thanks for the feedback gentleman. I have more pot calls than I could possibly hunt, but that call just kind of intrigued me and I might try to pick one up just to have.
