Title: Need a new small frame diaphragm call...recommendations?
Post by: blackmagic on March 26, 2014, 12:09:54 AM
I'll preface my request with the following....this is the first year I've felt confident enough with a diaphragm that it's become my primary call.  I have to use small/youth frames and have finally found one that I can actually make sound like a turkey.  It's the HS Split V II.  But I cannot find to buy them individually and the HS site doesn't even show it listed.  I received this call in a 3 pack of various cuts and this has been "the one" for me.  So I guess I like a 2 reed inverted V call.  Any recommendations? or something I've got to try?

A number of folks here can help you get exactly what you need.  Gooserbat, TRKYHTR are two that come to mind.

Pm me if your interested. I have my standard Young Gun call but I also have 2 prototypes I'm working on.  One is a batwing and the other is a Jr Bacon

My favorites are as follows:
- Hooks: Jr Executioner II & Jr 3 Reed V
- Houndstooth: Dixie Combo (small frame)

Also, William Terry with Legacy Game Calls has started making several of his popular calls in small frame versions. I've tried all 3 and they're good calls also.

Hooks tape is small (unless you order full size) but the frame is still standard size. The OP is actually looking for small frame calls which Hooks, among others, also makes.

Yes indeed! I contacted Scott several years ago about making some small frame calls that were more advanced than the typical two reed small frame calls. He was the first one (out of the several I contacted) to truly take my request seriously and he's been building calls for me ever since!

Top Calls out of Renova PA has some great small frame calls. I love the red one. Believe it's called the 'real hen'. Lots of calls that I like better but this one always finds it's way in the call pouch.  Killed more birds with this call than any other.
