Trading the box call for a diaphram, I wont say which one, the pot call will be a Lon Trice and the trumpet will be a wingbone call or cane yelper.

You are the only other person I have seen say anything about the Southern Belle, do people not like them or just haven't heard one? Mine rode in my vest a few times this season

I think most people lock Cody down to pot calls and sleep on his boxes. I'm more surprised by the lack of Anthony Ellis and Herb Hornstra trumpet love.

I have a ton of pots, but I do know one thing-the 2 piece dymondwood striker I have from Clay Townsend plays on everything. It's probably more important than whatever pot I decide to use. I should probably order more strikers from the guy as a backup
SS Kwilla/b-nut
Cody legend or CT Osage glass
Permar 45
I could hunt the rest of my days with just the legend but these are the 4 calls in my vest last year or two. And I got calls from almost everybody in this thread.
Box - Richard Hudson snake over English walnut
Pot - Clay Townsend glass over aluminum in osage pot w/ snakewood w/ persimmon top
Horn- Billy Buice 6" w/ half dozen screw in flat mp's
Special- Kenny Morgans friction wood
Way to go opening poster!
:newmascot:
Now I need to get one of each for my addiction................lol
Amazing to see all the different answers.
I'll be a bit different here:
OLD Lynch Foolproof 101 This call still sounds amazing
Halloran Crystal Mistress
No answer for the other one. Never learned to use one.
2021 opener:
Box: Cody Southern Belle Heartwood pine
Pot: Paul Platz Maple Slate, Fowler Osage orange hickory Striker
Horn: EZ Wingbone helper
Special Secret: Old Gobbler Gaboon Ebony Pushpin
This is my opening day Arsenal.
Be safe, good luck...
Box - bloodwood/butternut Terry Baker
Pot - halloran twisted sister with lyman dylumax
Horn - can't run one so I'd choose a scratch box
Scratch box - SS holly english walnut with purple heart striker
Mouth call - savduck batwing
That line is basically what's in my vest 90% of the time with maybe another scratch box and 2 more mouth calls

Box - Josh Farley Bloodwood over Limba small talk
Pot - Buster's Osage Glass double sider or one of Nathan Taylor's slates depending on the weather. Purple's a winner right now
Horn - Don't own one yet, so I'll have to say I always keep my Daryal Gosey crow call tied to my chest rig.
That'll be my opening lineup this season anyway. See how the pot lineup looks after the first week!
Box: Chuck Anderson Rosewood over Teak Hen Box
Pot: Cody Slate hickory striker
Horn: Gibson Lignum Vitae trumpet

Pot: John Tanner slate call
