Primos Tube call
« on: February 09, 2019, 12:15:30 PM »
Probably not news but I see Primos is back selling  there tube calls with the snap on reeds. This is the same type reed Cuz Strickland uses.  The reeds snap on no adjustment or fumbling with rubber bands. I'm sticking with my old tube but for those that have a hard time adjusting there tube reeds this may be the thing.

Thanks for the post, may pick one up.

While I was digging around in one of my older turkey hunting boxes I found this. I need a few replacement Reeds for it and I’m good to go!

Yea, I wondered how they'd sound seems like the reed would be to stiff? I do know there making the replacement reeds and they do fit the original tubes by Primos,  for those that like them.

Reed isn't stiff at all. For me, the diameter of the lipstop is larger than I like.

Could one just use a regular reed and O-ring in place of the Primos reed? Seems there would be an indentation where the reed snaps in that could hold a ring and reed like on a normal tube

My Primos model 303 no longer made that probably dates back to the 90's. The reeds are tough and don't wear out fast since they are made of silicone rather than latex. I have one blue replacement reed too.

I've got a couple of the older ones but I haven't seen the feeds for sale anywhere.  Anyone know where I can order some?

So I go  few of these to fool with, its a raspy s.o.b. for sure, almost a bark. You do not need much air for it. I think cutting to locate is its strength. Mike
