Title: Favorite Crystal Pot?
Post by: StruttinGobbler3 on February 20, 2020, 01:46:44 PM
I plan on really using my pot calls a lot more this season just to change it up. So far I've found a green slate and a ceramic that sound like killers, and I'm looking to add another surface with a good killing sound. I'm thinking crystal. I've used glass, but don't really care for it a lot. So with that said, what crystal calls are your proven killers? Thanks.

That's funny, I would have suggested glass. It's just what i like better most of the time. As far as crystal the best I've played is David Halloran Crystal Mistress. I'm sure there's real Crystal fans that will chime in.

I have yet to use it in the woods but my tulipwood pot with Crystal over glass by Old Crow. Non custom call my old Mad Super Crystal always seemed to get good replies.

I have a few crystal calls that sound great and will run with the best of them. I really like my crystal over slate. You can check them out at footonDAhead.com I can text sound files too if you are interested.

Good luck!

This, this, and this again. Schaffer's Mahoe crystals over glass  is one of the best pots in general in my opinion, but the best crystal I've played for sure.

Other notable makers of crystal are Paul Durham, Lonzo, Brad Roberts, Mark Cornelius, and Kevin Farr.  These makers have a variety in that some make a better crystal/glass, crystal/slate, or crystal/aluminum and ina variety of woods. Kevin Farr (Pecker Wrecker) has a new for this year Walnut crystal, but I personally prefer his Machiche crystal.

My favorite and only crystal pot is the crystal mistress. My first custom pot call! IMO, a really good glass call is a more versatile "hunting" call.

Mine is by Lonzo.  Nothing but turkey in that call !!!

Crystal mistress or Shaffer blue mahoe crystal — both are turkey killers!!

I own a Woodhaven Spur crystal call. Got to be honest though... I prefer the sound of my Zink slate call, it sounds more realistic to me. I know that's not the question you asked but just my opinion comparing the 2 pot calls in my vest.

I've got a Schaffer blue mahoe, Yingling, Lonzo and a Halloran. Find myself reaching for either the Yingling or Halloran. Generally, the Yingling. They all sound good but the Yingling just give me confidence I don't get with the others. Birds here just seem to respond better to it for some reason. Back home I have better luck with the CM at times. Just depends on the day.

I like and run my Crystal Mistress probably the most of any of my crystal/glass calls...however,
many birds have (and still are) dying from the sounds from my Old Primos Power Crystal. Great call.

  I have and like the crystal mistress, twisted sister, and a crystal from Mark Cunningham or footballer on here, the one I got from footballer is a two sider with slate on the back.  I love the multiple surfaces but it hasn't seen the woods yet just got it this year.
