2023 What 3 pots question

[rakkin6]

It's dependent for me, sometimes the morning are really humid. If so I go with a ceramic. Prefer a slate for soft talking.

My 3 favorites are:

Jon Hoff - zebrawood - glass
Halloran - wenge/walnut - grey slate
Dustin Jones - walnut - double glass/slate on back

Some days I'll switch a few out. Cedar glass call from Jones, cherry and Purple Heart double glass from Halloran. I have a few others...

Mabry slate
Halloran crystal mystress
Buster ceramic

This is an easy one.

I only ever hunted 2 friction calls for the last 20 years.  And I just bought a new one that'll have to see some woods time............

My own walnut slate/glass
Hally Caller Professional Series walnut slate/glass
Redbeard 4-track player figured yellowheart slate/glass

[Louisiana Longbeard]

Crystal Mistress
Cody Spec I slate
Twisted sister

This is a tough one, I have way too many to chose from.
If I was going to hunt in the morning there would be these three calls in my vest with a heavy assortment of JLH strikers.

Enticer Double Trouble: this is the one call that never leaves my vest. You can talk quiet with it and scream on it as well. Out of all the calls I have this 19.95 pocket call is the one that never gets replaced.

A ceramic... I have quite an assortment of ceramics, being it is my favorite surface but if I had to pick one right now I would have to give the nod to the Schaffer I just picked up at unicoi,before that it would have been the Big J calls ceramic made in a Beatty designed pot.

My third would have to be my Buster green slate in persimmon pot. I covered my screamers with the above two and can really tone it down with this call. I'm waiting on a red slate in persimmon from him to compare the two but this green slate will be hard to replace.

And since I don't like odd numbers... my fourth would be my glass in Osage pot from clay Townsend.

Like I said really hard to choose, but the double trouble never leaves. Need to order a replacement for that one just in case of emergency

Update to my list, Roger Parks Double spur and a pot I made the day before yesterday. I'd put that one up against any of the custom ones I've bought over the years.

1. For me would be a Paul hicks glass over slate in a walnut pot. It never leaves the vest

2. Is a crystal mistress

3. Varies depending on weather conditions but recently acquired a copper 2 slider from Mr. Yingling that is definitely going to see some woods time as well as a Robert's cedar slate.

I rotate several calls in and out throughout a season, like several of us probably do on here, but I've had the most success out of my first 2 calls listed and have the most confidence in them when I need to get something going

Oh wow, I couldn't pick just three. I'm a pot call man, but not a master by any means. I very rarely carry boxes, troughs, trumpets, etc.

One that is always in my vest is the Cody Drop dead green slate call. A very underrated call that I don't hear mentioned much at all. I was gifted this call and several matching strikers from Mr. Bill Zearing himself. This call sounds fantastic and I actually favor it over my spec 1 legend, world class, etc. that I own.

1. Cody drop dead green slate

2. Lonnie sneed heart breaker. I bought this call off this site after season last year but it will not leave my     
vest from now on.

3. Cody Spec 1 legend.

4. David Halloran twisted sister


I don't own a lot of the pretty calls some on here do. My goal is to own calls that I'll hunt. If I won't hunt it, I can't afford to buy it right now unfortunately. Maybe one day.

(1) Paul Platz poplar glass over slate
(2) Chad Zutter Chestnut slate over frosted glass
(3) Paul Platz canarywood aluminum over glass

[zelmo1]

I hunt mostly my own pots, 2 are my favorites. 3" osage orange slate/glass and a 3.5' bubinga green slate/ glass. My favorite other call is a Supreme " Double Suicide by Steve Reeves. He is "tricky" to deal with but the calls are very nice. There are a lot of good pots out there, only trick is finding a vest with 30 pot pockets, lol. Z
