I like two sided pot calls. Why carry one with only one side when you can carry a two side of the same weight? Plus, it's easy to switch back and forth if one side doesn't get any action or you want to sound like two hens. I've been using a Roberts Bros. for many years and have a newer Enticer corian and aluminum I really like. What do u all think about two siders and do you have any suggestions for another one or two new ones for me? I like two side troughs, too.
Halloran sugar town sweetness 2. Glass over slate
I've got an older Robert Bros. wormy chestnut two sider (glass/slate) that has called more gobblers to the gun than my other 1/2 dozen best pot callers combined. It's been paired with a Halloran one piece purpleheart striker most of that time and makes a really clean high pitch yelp on the glass side and awesome bouncy clucks on the slate. Just something about that pot the turkeys love. Steve Reeves makes some fine two-siders as well, and have heard good things about the sugar town sweetness mentioned above...

I have an Ed Jenkins ghostmaker 2 sider that i really like. Aluminum over slate in an osage pot.
I have a Magnolia ceramic and slate that's very nice.
I carry a "Double Suicide"( glass/slate) by Steve Reeves that is really sweet
I always have a Rocky Top Game Calls double sided crystal/slate call with me. Love it.

Misfire and Olin's.
Big fan of the Roberts brothers
Don't use slate much any more but on the off chance I want too I carry a glass/slate combo. Slate sounds mellow and laid back. Glass is just glass sounds good.
I have the SugarTown Sweetness and a Reynolds Carolina Assassin. I like both calls. The Sweetness is more of a clean sounding call with little rasp and lots of volume.
The Assassin has more rasp as it is crystal and the bottom side slate plays really well.

Agree with Roberts Bros.
Brad Roberts makes a Cedar slate over slate double sider that sounds great. Also Pat Strawser makes several nice ones....
Used a Roberts Brothers for years and loved it. Thought I was married to this call until I heard what Pistol Creek has to offer. Have not seen another pot to match the sound of Pistol Creek Duplex yet. Two sided call that can be bought in glass, crystal, or aluminum. My favorite is the glass...and of course has the small area of slate on back. Pure turkey.

I ordered a small double sided pot from Mark McCool the other day. It is made out of Mayan walnut. He calls it his "Donut" call.
How would I contact Mark McCool?
Seen this thread went to my tukey vest to get out my two sided call I just bought last year was my favorite copper over slate and it's gone I'm so bummed I'm out of work and can not afford another one now.

From some of your previous posts it sounds like your out of work alot??I hope things get better!! You ever thought of getting into a different line of work?
Do you remember who made the call??
Out of work due to two back operations and they said I should have a 3rd but I have had enough of being cut open no interest in having it done again only to get the pain back again. I have no idea who made the call but it was a wood pot call copper on one side and small slate on the other was a great call loved it don't know if one of my kids got hold of it or what but I ripped my hunting gear apart looking for it.
Sounds like Mike Yingling maybe...??
No it was not Mikes but it looked like the one he has.
I've found that when you combine two things into one the quality of each suffers,,besides a dbl sider will limit the amount of calls I need to buy and carry,,that's no fun :icon_thumright:
I don't agree the one I had sounded sweet.
Bill Lyman also makes a real good one..

Look him up on Facebook. If you can't find him, let me know and I will get some contact info for you! :you_rock:
I have a double sided glass/slate I picked up from Andy Kaiser that was one of my first custom calls, and it's still one of my favorites!
I get great soft clucks, purrs and whines from the slate, but can crank it up with the glass on the other side!

I don't doubt this one bit. I don't have any of Andy's two siders but every pot I own of his is killer. Very under rated pots IMO, one of my favorite call makers...

I've called in a lot of gobblers that thought the quality was just fine. :) But you're right about the fun of having lots of calls.
ive killed a pile of gobblers with my Roberts bros. haven't carried it in several years though
I don't know if I like the idea of one of my surfaces facing down seems like it would pick up more debris or fingerprints or get slick faster laying it down on your lap.

The Roberts side is recessed son it's not flush on the bottom. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180307/6e0b46f7b30ac7173593d0de84893711.jpg)
Blodgett double trouble has killed more birds for me than anything...of course I run it most days...slate over glass though I almost never run the glass.
