Looking for my first tube. I want one so i can eliminate my box call. So i want one that is LOUD. I don't want to call in turkeys with it I want it to help be strike them. Im trying to go as light as possible this year so id love to eliminate that box call. Any suggestions please let me know!

I just got a Gulp from Mr. Lewis (Pappy).  I have never ran one before but it's pretty simple and it can get loud. I like that brass insert, I think that gives it a bit of a ring.

I got 30+ tubes and a Matt McLain is what I always use

I'm going to have to make an acrylic double baffle.    ;)

I'd be interested in one if you do.

Not a double baffle, but an acrylic tube.

I have a cheap plastic one from Houndstooth Game Calls that is SUPER loud. It might get you started until you get a custom one. Or you could just stick with it. They are only $10

Wow, I could not imagine taking out a tube call as my only call. Some mornings it is chilly and trying to run a tube call can not have good results. Mouth diaphragm, friction call, tube call, box call, scratch box, and trumpet takes minimal room. Adding a tube call is a good idea for sure........If you are looking for a tube call Pappy is the way to go, as he will work with you and try to match you up with the style tube to fit your wants.......Good Luck

Pappy.   :TooFunny:     Here we go.....  :popcorn:

Probably cuz I started making them 2 years ago. Went public this year.  Have not posted one on here myself because of what you did last time with my hollow snakewood striker ......So........ please stay seated.
