Title: Looking to replace my diaphragm calls
Post by: Dbrnmllr on April 08, 2013, 09:24:07 AM
I have had good luck with the Primos sonic domes for the last few years, but I am looking to upgrade.  Maybe get a little more out of them, thinking woodhaven maybe?  What are the "better" made diaphragm calls out there?  Thanks for the help.

I love woodhaven calls. I've got a ghost cut w/ a grey top reed that's my favorite

Hooks and Houndstooth are both great.

hooks, david halloran, houndstooth, woodhaven are nice but a little heavy on the tape for me so I trim then down good.

I'm not that great with anything more than a two Reed call, but I can run the woodhaven grey ghost. I live close to Martin bros "gobblers choice" and really like there calls.

My experience up until this year was limited to production calls like Hunter Specialties and Primos.  I tried Hooks calls this year and they are incredible.  I'd definitely consider Hook's Executioner II, Devastator and Seducer.  They are reasonably priced, easy to run and give a nice raspy sound.  My go to mouth calls this year will be the Executioner II and the Devastator.

I'm sure the other ones mentioned earlier are good but I haven't tried them.

My 2 favorites are Hooks and Woodhaven. For a brand that can be bought anywhere, Woodhaven is hard to beat for consistency.
