Title: HELP: Best Strikers (wood types) for ALUMINUM?
Post by: Huntress on February 28, 2015, 01:48:06 PM
My 12-year old son would like to start collecting a few unique strikers, made from different woods.  He wants to know which striker woods will give him what results on ALUMINUM.  If you have a certain call maker whose strikers you especially LOVE, please give them a mention.

Thanks so much for your help!

I love my dymondwood striker from hooks, use it on an anodized aluminum woodhaven. Sounds pretty awesome at long distances  .

Here is an aluminum call made by Bill Lyman and the strikers I run on it. Top to bottom is a Lyman Snakewood, a Dad's Ebony, and a Fred Cox Blackwood. A short sound clip of the call is under the pics.
