Quote from: Greg Massey on October 07, 2022, 11:36:01 PMNever really cared for them myself, i just prefer pot calls with more surface ... Aluminum surface does make a good calling surface but it does depend on the builder. IMO .. I've had a couple of them in the past and gave them away.

Quote from: GobbleNut on October 08, 2022, 08:58:38 AMI'm pretty certain I've got two or three trough calls tucked away somewhere, but the only one I can identify right off the bat is a Ben Lee Super Hen that I got back in the early 70's right after he started making them. It has an aluminum surface as I recall, and I have no doubt it would call turkeys. I have just never gotten into that type of call, and I have never dedicated enough time to become proficient enough with them to use them as an alternative to the other call types I prefer to hunt with. I'm sure that they are deadly in the hands of folks that have taken the time to perfect their use and gather up some good ones. There are probably a bunch of those folks here on OG, but I most certainly ain't one of them! The one observation I would make based on my limited experience with trough calls is that the one weakness I see is their limited volume,...or at least that has been the case with every one of them I have used or have seen used by others.
