$40, no brainer. Lonnie Sneed Hot Hen slate. It is actually slate over wood. Flat out turkey killer.

All of these are top notch slate calls. From my experience there are slates, good slates, and really good slates, but not one that really stands out above others.  Maybe it is out there and I have not heard it yet.  Also, as stated the Lonnie Sneed slate is top notch as well. Good luck.

I also would not be opposed to trying the cherry slate at SS Customs. Have not used it but have only heard good things about the call maker. Probably will be a killer.

I have to agree!!  Slate from SS custom calls!  My slate brought many a gobbler last year to there death....best friction call I've ever used hands down!   I've been turkey hunting over 23 yrs and have owned more calls then I can count and this was a game changer for me on my friction call arsenal....I will be adding a few more this year which will make my second year using SS Custom calls pot calls!

God Bless

Another vote for Lonnie Sneed.  He makes one of the best calls for the money.

Good point and it is hard to argue with, I have to apologize to Joe I have some of his slate calls and he also makes a great call for $40.

If you're in GA, I would also look into a Lonnie Mabry. All his calls have turkey built right in.

Wish I lived or was closer to visit.

Going to have to pick up a Sneed Hot Hen.  Too many people talking about them.  Always wanted one, but never pulled the trigger.  That is going to have to change.

If you don't buy a call from Mr. Sneed its worth the phone call just to talk turkey and life with him..

Lots of good ones out there, that's for sure!
I have calls from Lights out, Andy Kaiser, and Joe Slaton, just to name a few, and they have all increased my success in the spring woods, but I agree with Donald. I am going to have to pull the trigger on a Lonnie Sneed hot hen. Been flirting with the idea, but I think I will have to add that one this spring!

I'm going to agree with a fellow Pennsylvanian, Mr. WildTigerTrout on the Cody II slate. It's been around a long time now but it's still a solid option, in fact I still carry one of mine occasionally.

My other choice would be a glass or aluminum from Mark at Mac Turkey Calls. He's a good buddy of mine who has been making calls for years but only recently started trying to sell a few. Now he can't get himself out of the shop! He makes a killer hunting call.

Mike is a quality guy who builds some awesome looking and sounding calls!!

His customer service is top notch!!

I just ordered a couple slate calls from Mr. Lonnie sneed today and I have to say, he's probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever talk to. He went on and on about life, turkey hunting and his late wife who you could tell, loved more than anything in this world!!! Buy his call and you wont regret it.

I like Prairie Game calls Hackberry Slate/glass call. Best sounding slate call I've heard, although I may have to try one of Lonnie Sneed"s Hot Hen calls now. Always looking for a good sounding pot call.

He is a one man show so it takes him time to fill orders.Plus once turkey season gets here,you can forget about getting a call from him because Lonnie is out killing turkeys.
I would pay alot more for his calls than he charges for them.One phone conversation with him,which I have had the good forune of many of those calls,is all it takes.
If I lived closer I would be at his back door on a regular basis just to visit with him.He truly is a class act.
