suggestions for a first custom call.

[Swamp]

I'm looking into buying a custom call. This will be my first custom call and i was wondering what some of you who have custom calls would recommend. I really like some of the lights out calls and I'm looking at an aluminum call, or a copper call. I have never tried either surface, but have plenty of production slate and glass calls. What wood,striker, and sound board would y'all recommend. Thanks for any help

Welcome aboard. Your gonna get a LOT of suggestions. But I'll tell you, I just picked up a Cane Creek Pro Aluminum and I'm using a Halloran Diamondwood striker with it and it sounds fantastic. Theres a new one on Fleabay now going for $37 shipped (I have no affiliation).

Lights Out are fantastic calls. I can tell you that the aluminum in yellowheart or mahogany are full of turkey. You will not be disappointed.

Those copper pot calls from B&T calls sound so good I just ordered two for myself, can't wait to get them. Those along with my No Bull Custom box calls, a Gobbler won't be able to resist.

Killed a 23 pder Wednesday first time out with the Halloran Crystal Mistress, it's really raspy with lots of rollover, the birds loved it that day. That said, I picked a Cane Creek Pro Custom slate and that sounds just as good with that deeper, fuller, rich slate sound at half the price of the CM. Out of 4 new customs this year these 2 were the standouts in the turkey woods.

A Lonnie Sneed Hot Hen Slate Call.  Mine is a wormy chestnut over red cedar and it sounds great.  The cost is only $20 and it sounds as good or better then a lot of custom calls.  Scoot

X2 on the hot hen slate, very realistic in my opinion
