Title: Why I pimp Houndstooth mouth calls
Post by: savduck on March 03, 2012, 10:18:45 PM
Got my mouth call care package to support my habits in the next few weeks. I had Lyle make  some custom stuff based on his normal line. He is actually going to probably offer these, they turned out so good. You guys have heard me mention his little two reed Tom Bomb, well I love that little call, but wanted one with a little more BITE. Lyle whipped a couple up for me to try. See what yall think. Click on pictures for video.

Tom Bomb Black

And he threw in a new batwing for me. Yellow Latex

X2. Thanks Del for showing us how all these calls are supposed to sound like. You've proven you can make a turkey sound out of anything but your next challenge is to teach me.  ;)

Tell ya what. I just bought a Tom Bomb based on savduck's recommendation in another post. I've never been able to purr on a mouth call, but I'm closer than I've ever been on that Tom Bomb and I think I'll be able to get it with a little more practice. It's really easy to control that thing on almost no air at all. Awesome call!

Glad you like it cut*n*run they are great calls no doubt I have had numerous people change from 3 reed calls to these calls cause they automatically get the higher front end with out effort. Anyway glad to hear your progressing with your purring give me a call if I can help!!

Thanks for running these Del. As usual, sounds great! If you ever made an instructional DVD with all of the different types of turkey calls, I'd buy one.

Great calling there man!

I have not hunted with Lyle's calls yet as this is the first year I have bought any.

However, they will be in my vest this year.

Those Houndstooth mouth calls are some of the easiest to run I have ever used and I love the sound of them.

I like the Tom Bomb, Batwing, All Pro 3 and heck all of the rest of the other ones I have tried!

Thats my three favorites along with the deep beak. If you get more, and like those Tom Bombs try the green and black latex. Its a whole nother level.

I've been praising these calls for a couple of years now. I truly believe this is the best sounding mouth call on the market! I love the All Pro and the Mod. V 3 reed is my favorite call on the planet. Lyle has a gift, and I am thankful he is sharing that gift with us! He has a mentality that every call he makes should sound like a turkey.... Not many mouth call companies feel that way. I can call with the one I have been, or pull one out of the pack and after about 1 minute of break in, it sounds just as good. It's nice to have that kind of reliability in a call! Hopefully I can buy a stock pile of a few years worth so I don't run out!

Your right about the short breakin period, heck there is no break in of these calls there good to go right out of the package!

I usally have to spent a few days breakin calls and I even chew on some of them to get them right so they seal good.

I would have no problem with Lyle's calls pulling it out of the package and going hunting that morning which I can't say that about many mouth calls.
