Which Marlin call to get?

[wjones15]

For all you guys that have a ton of Marlins calls.  I am on his list right now.  I have no idea what I am going to get.  What is y'all's favorite combos?  Pictures are appreciated.  What calls are proven by the turkeys?

Following as I will be looking at his at the Call Makers Summit.

Most time when your name comes up he will send sound files of a wood combo you may have asked for and some other calls and you make final choice by sound.  From what i see most calls he is making are Butternut, Mineral Poplar, Mahogany and Persimmon boxes with a variety of lids.  Search Marlin Watkins box calls on here and you will find threads discussing wood combos.

You will have chooses after you get the call from Marlin , he will send you some sound files and you will make a decision from those sound files ... so unless your having something special built , it will be just what he has available at the time ... So it's hard to just tell you Marlin combo's ... all of them will be great call's just pick the one that sounds the best to your ears ....your liking .....

Bloodwood over butternut is good combo to start out with

this combo was killer last season for me.

I just received a Hop Horn Beam with Cherry lid. As mentioned, Mr. Watkins sent me sound files of four different boxes to choose from. It's great as are all of his I own. If I had to pick a favorite it would be my Beech/Bloodwood

Hop horn beam over mineral poplar is a good sounding box..can be played real soft also

to my ears it's purpleheart over sycamore, last season it was bloodwood over butternut for the birds

Hop horn beam/mineral poplar is one of my favorites, but ipe/sycamore is good as well. I'm not aware of Mr. Watkins making a bad combo, like others have said listen to what he offers and pick
what you think will work best for the area you hunt.

Snakewood over holley. We will see what the birds think of it.

Actually, any combination Marlin makes is a killer! I know this is no help but it's the truth!

I can honestly say I never heard one of marlins calls that was not all turkey. Thats why I own 11 of them.
