Title: Hooks calls
Post by: jrseale82 on March 02, 2012, 11:38:05 PM
I haven't used diaphragm calls very much but I am wanting to try to get better at it.  From reading on here it seems that Hook's are the most popular and a sponsor.  I am planing on ordering one and what like to know which one everyone prefers?  I think I would want a soft call for up close.  Any suggestion?

The devastator and the 2 1/2 v cut are my go to calls.

Both are good and raspy.

I like the sassy gal 2 and the executioner 2.

Call Scott and tell him what you are looking for and he will set you up.

I'm not a master of the mouth call, but their ghost cut has been the easiest for me to use

I ordered several last year. They seemed to be small for my big mouth, haha. Seriously, they seemed very small to me and I couldn't do anything with them.

Did you order the "Jr" frame of standard frame? If it was the "Jr" frame then that would explain a lot as they are geared toward those with a narrow upper palette such as myself. If it was a standard frame then it's probably because of the smaller tape they put on em. If the tape is too small just ask for large tape next time. Whatever you do, don't give up on Hooks calls. They are as good as you'll find anywhere!

Dang! I don't think I ordered the junior. I ordered some from david halloran at the same time and the hooks were just too small. David's were great. Maybe I will look at the website, but I actually threw all of em away.
