Left to right
Spring Allure Shedua Slate over Glass with a Fred Cox hickory striker
Gary Anderson Canarywood Glass with a Harold Fowler persimmon striker
Gary Anderson Padauk Ceramic with a Harold Fowler black locust striker
If I had to choose one, it would be the Spring Allure Slate.

This year I am going to try and only use what I have bought since the close of the 2016 spring season. I've bought a ton of calls and they are still coming in. These are what I THINK is going to be in the vest on opening morning.
Brad Roberts Poplar Bronzed Glass over Aluminum
Schaffer Sapele Alum over Alum
Halloran Metal Mouth
Kaiser Redheart Bronzed Glass over Glass

Handful of Yingling pots (titanium, crystal, slate, aluminum) all paired with a Yingling fiber rod, black locust and Lyman tulipwood.
Backup vest has sneed outlaw hen, hot hen, Lonzo crystal acrylic, Yingling brass and copper paired with another black locust and sneed purpleheart.
Vestless shirt has Yingling aluminum and some other water proof call along with a McKinnis long slate.
All have either a box call or a scratch box. At this point main has a Reynolds lil Jenny and backup has a spring creek cherry/bloodwood box. Vestless has a spring creek scratch box. I'm set.

If I was hunting today my vest would have a corder Osage glass/slate, daybreak shedua aluminum and either a strawser heritage slate or lonzo yellowheart slate/aluminum. I also carry a handful of Lyman strikers with snake wood and ebony being my go to. I also really like Brad Roberts strikers so I normally carry and mascaar ebony and his dymondwood. This could all change though and I do have a backup vest if the weather is going to be wet.

Slate---- Lon Trice, Darrin Dawkins, Schaffer, Daybreak, Glen Marrer, Tim Oldham, Bill Lyman, Lonnie Sneed
Glass/Crystal----Lon Trice, Schaffer, Strawser, Kaiser, Jenkins, SS, Lonnie Sneed, Dawkins
Aluminum---Lon Trice, Darrin Dawkins, Schaffer, Lyman, Daybreak
Ceramic----Kaiser, Daybreak, Stumpy
Copper----Yingling, Gresser

As of right now my vest will have these calls in it, although I have two on order with Brad Roberts, debating on ordering a third. Also thinking about a Schaffer ceramic, which any of those could shake things up.
Halloran Purpleheart cedar short box
Brad Roberts Zebrawood glass/aluminum
Jimmy Schaffer Atomic 13
Schaffer Blue Mahoe Crystal/glass
Jimmy Schaffer red hen slate/slate
Bill Lyman cedar slate/glass
Two SS scratch boxes
Lyman strikers: snakewood, persimmon, tulipwood, macassar ebony
Pots that will also see some vest time:
Schaffer Mad Hen 2
Yingling cast copper
Halloran Metal Mouth
