THE TEETH OUT OF A PLASTIC FORK WORKS GREAT TO KEEP YOUR REEDS SEPARATED!

run warm sink water letting the stream open and clean all that nasty juice out from the reeds.

Anyone found any solution for stuck reeds other than these. I have some competition calls that I was using last year and trying to hunt with them this year. Soaked in non-alcoholic mouthwash for a bit and that didn't work.

Someone once made a product called yelper helper. I thought it was pretty good. I haven't seen it in a while. It may have been night and hale. Now,I just use a dash of mouthwash like everyone else mixed with warm water. I'll seperate the reeds with a toot pick. When storing in the off season,I'd repeat the process,separate the reeds. Then use index card paper,(cut to fit)keeping the paper in place between the reeds,air dry and freeze in the off season. When ready to use,take out of the freezer.Slip out the paper and yer ready to rock. In 3 seasons I  usually buy new ones.
