This year I got a fiddle box from Marlin Watkins. For those of you have both of his styles of box call how would you describe the difference? TIA

I really don't have a preference in using either one, they are both great calls. The Misfit will get your fingers away from the sides of the box... but you can also play it like a fiddle box depending on how you want to hold either one.  The handle on the Misfit gives it a little more look / character .. IMO

Misfit doesn't have a base, so its a bit different but still that iconic Watkins yawk of a yelp. I prefer the misfit.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot

Sit down wrong, and you're beat. Jim Spencer                          Don't go this year where Youtubers went last year.

I don't have a misfit but have two fiddles, hard for me to believe anything coming from Marlin woundn't sound amazing!
