Ralph Snodgrass makes an incredible mini boat!  I am sure there are other good ones as well but after getting his I did not have to look any further!

This is my 2016 Snodgrass mini - has a Maryland public ground notch in it, too.   :icon_thumright:

I ordered my first Snodgrass and got the phone call saying it will soon be on it's way. Ralph's a super nice and fun guy to visit on the phone with also.
I'm looking forward in proof testing it this Spring!! :fud: :OGani:

So if a guy were to call Ralph and order a mini paddle call what combo would you suggest

I would imagine Ralph will ask you what sound you are after and work to achieve that goal. May be a few different combos that will get there. For example the ebony over reclaimed chestnut I included earlier in this thread can get really raspy, but like all his minis, that box will also kee-kee like a young fall bird, and yet give a great gobbler yelp at the bottom end. Just as functional as a long box, smaller package. Unique sound. Killer call.

Regardless, ring him up - promise it is time well spent to talk turkey with one of the greats.

Marlin Watkins makes a phenomenal mini long box. I got one for a friend of mine. It was a IPE over black limba. I tried to think of any way I could to keep it but honor won out. Sometimes I wish I was more of a rat...  :-\
