I just got my package in the mail from Hooks Calls. I called last Thursday and talked with Scott on the phone for almost a hour, Great Dude! I got him to run some calls for me over the phone and also described the tones I was after and he sent me exactly what I wanted.......... I ordered a Osage Hammer-in Crow, Osage Hoot in Stick, and a Devastator mouth call. None of the Movie Star Call Companies will get anymore of my money! I couldn't believe how much better the calls sounded and how little effort it took to run them. I'll be strictly Custom from here on out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Scott
Scott and his calls are both AWESOME! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Glad you like them bud..
I got my stuff in the mail today as well. Scott called me back Friday evening, talked for a while, demonstrated the Hoot in Stick, listen to my needs for a mouth call, and recommended 2 calls. Great guy and wants to please his customers!! First time I have ever talked with him or ordered from him, but it won't be the last. He shipped the order out Saturday!! :icon_thumright:
God Bless,
David B.

Hooks customer for life :icon_thumright:
I met Scott down at the NWTF Banquet in Nashville last month. He helped me out with the aluminum assassin on how to make it sing. You don't see Primos or other big names take the time to make sure their customers are fully satisfied. Hooks Rule!
Scott is a class act,i bought the 3 pack a couple weeks ago.very nice calls.
Glad you like the calls!! :you_rock:
The experience I have had with the guys' at their booth in Nashville, the quality of the calls I purchased and have been messing with, and the knowledge and great personality that is represented by their Pro Staff members leads me to only say a FIRST CLASS OPERATION and Company. :icon_thumright:
the executioner and sassy gal II have almost made the rest of the contents of my vest obsolete..
I will slowing replace my calls and locators with hooks
they make great gifts for hunting buddies

The new pot calls are just plain sick... Based on sound and looking at other pot call prices they are underpriced..
Thats the truth....

Which of his calls are the best for an inexperienced caller, beginner, or someone that just can't that well with a diaphragm? I do pretty well with the Primos Double stack where the reeds are separated. Last year I bought the Hooks Hunter's Pack and I juust cannot get the right sound out of them. I need some guidance as to where to position my tongue and where exactly is the best spot in the roof of my mouth to place the call. My yelps sound like a young beagle barking.
What is the best way to store your diaphragm calls? Or is it just best to buy new ones each year. I like the size of Hooks calls and I believe with a little help I can start getting the calls to work for me.

Dang beginner mistake. I had let the reeds get stuck together on all three calls. Soaked them in a little cold water, separated the reeds, now sounding better with more rasp and turkey like. I need to take better care of my calls. Dummy!
Just another testimonial for Scott:
I placed an order Sunday evening around 4PM, within an hour I got a resonse from Scott saying Thanks and my shipment was already processed.
I'm guessing he has been working weekends due to the High volume of calls being ordered now, but I've NEVER had anyone process an order on a weekend.
Thanks Scott!

Proper care will definitely improve the sound and extend the life of your calls.
I like to wash each of the calls off with water after use, I will lay them on a towl to dry, then I put them back in their cases and store them in the refrigerator.
I do not use mouthwash or anything that has alcohol on my mouth calls, if you don't get it COMPLETELY washed off it can ruin the latex. (I learned this the hard way)
Also, I used to store my calls in the freezer, but now only in the fridge. It seemed that if calls stayed in the freezer too long it messed with the elasticity of the latex.
