Rank your favorite 3 strikers for your slate pots! Like many of you, I'm addicted to adding new spring music pieces to my vest, so I thought it would be interesting to hear what your favorites are. You can list the maker/ tip type if you have a preference. I'll start:

1) Purple Heart
2) hickory flare tip
3) heart pine flat tip


What say you?

Diamondwood and purpleheart are about the only 2 I run on slate calls.  Scoot

Spitten and drummen

For slate i like lacewood , rose wood , and persimmon. They are all harold fowler 2 piece strikers. All 3 tops are osage orange. Also they all have straight tips

I'm glad that someone else likes a Red Oak striker.

Lights Out Dymondwood sounds great to me.  Sounds good on all of my slates but really livened up my Snead Hot Hen call.

Me too. I'm running a laminate oak woodhaven on my Sneed Hot Hen. I really like it on slate. I agree, It does grab nice on a glass or crystal surface also.

1. Woodhaven laminate oak
2. Halloran dymond wood
3. Purple Heart

  For a Slate call:

1:  Black Locust, first pick on almost any surface
2:  Osage, little deeper sound, lots of Turkey
2:  Cedar, for a higher pitched call, sometimes works when nothing else will.
