A "Lot" has to do with the guy running the call. That call has killed a good number of birds for me when nothing else was working, it's in my pack just for that reason. Day to day I run a different call, but whatever the reason on those days birds just don't want it, I take it out the other call and it's game on. I hear this all the time "Big Box" and just remember that big box started out as one man selling a few items out of his home... And I can definitely tell you just because a call is "custom" made doesn't necessary make it better than a mass produced call. I have heard plenty of poor sounding custom calls I wouldn't spend 9.99 on...MK M GOBL So is this call worth 150 than? No disagreeing w you only asking?

I have not played that call yet so I could not give you a review of it.(I was just trying to get the point across that just because a call is sold at a big box store doesn't automatically make it not worth the money)If you were asking where I would be spending my money, that would be on a Cody World Class Slate, the call sells for $175 and I have ended more birds with that call than anything I have ever used and still counting.MK M GOBL
Quote from: Bowguy on March 13, 2016, 06:23:46 PMI've killed a lot of birds w Cody calls n didn't spend that much. Actually never even heard one that expensive so I can't say anything about it but Cody is imo in a bit of a dif league than most big box store calls. They actually work n sound decent. Think about something compare the big box store Zink owl hooter to a Hootin stick, compare as I said earlier the bamboozle to the SS box, get a primos or mad pot, they can't hold a candle to an awful lot of makers. Those plastic wingbones, how you like them? How bout the crow calls? The eight note owl hooter? Not the same, as a kid I killed many birds by locating w the 8 note hooter n calling em in w a Quaker boy slate or mad Crystal. They all sound pretty rough now. Another thing I think you've mentioned working in a store? I could be wrong but of so can the $175 call even be on a big box store shelf?Don't take any of this as disrespect for your knowledge, yes there are bad call makers, yes there are a couple decent production calls and Cody is one of em imo but average it out n who sells better calls? Cabelas or most custom guys?
