Thinking of trying a glass or crystal call, was wondering which one you guys would go with? Just looking for something new to add to the vest. Thanks.
Crystal Mistress. Its my favorite call!
I dig the mistress pretty good too but it's a toss up between that n a mad hen
I am going to throw out a few awesome calls in my opinion, for glass a Mark Cornelius cherry or any wood from what I hear, if you are willing to wait Paul Platz walnut glass over slate is great as well. For crystal the mad hen 2 is a little clearer sounding then the original mad hen if thats what you are looking for. Any of Dustin Jones glass calls are really good also. A new call I just got is crazy good and its made by a young callmaker named Brad Roberts. Its poplar glass over glass and I have never owned a glass call that can make all the calls with ease as this one. He took 3rd place at the grand nationals with this combo and I can see why. His calls will be in demand soon. I have way too many pot calls. Scoot
I agree with scoot on the Paul Platz glass over slate. A buddy has a Platz double glass that sounds great too! My Halloran double glass is a good sounding call. I prefer glass vs crystal because I feel glass has a little deeper tone & more raspy as well as easier to play for me. Now that has a lot to do with the way I play a pot & for you crystal may be just as easy but I prefer glass.
The two crystals I run are Halloran Twisted Sister and Mad Hen Gen 1 they are both all turkey and proven turkey killers but there are lots of great calls out there being built.
I'll take a Mad Hen 2 over any other crystal/glass call my ears have ever heard. I also prefer crystal over glass in general.
I prefer glass. Glass is easier for me to play softly.

I have a ton of good calls
in my opinion nothing beats a paul platz walnut glass or a david halloran crystal.
The halloran crystals are the easiest playing calls I've ever ran.
The Mad hen is also a great call. Lonzo trice makes.a great glass call as well. The Birdseye maple is a very versatile call that can play as soft as any slate or get excited. His katalox glass is my personal favorite. Very realistic tone.
I would definitely get on paul platz list for a walnut glass over glass..in the meantime get you a halloran crystal. any of them are great but my 2 favorite are crystal mistress and metal mouth..those 2 calls are really all a man would ever need. Mistress is Higher pitched ans metal mouth has a more mature hen sound..
From what I've heard that Brad Roberts Poplar glass...sounds amazing.
I like both. I usually carry one of each. The more I hunt with my Loftis crystal screamer the more it impresses me and has started to become my go to call.
