What should be my next pot call?

I have been trying to get some better pot calls. I have some big box store calls of a number of surfaces (aluminum, slate, acrylic,  glass, etc). My two glass calls include an H.S. Strut Black Widow and a Primos Bamboozled. Here are my better calls:

- Copper over Glass in Flamed Ash by Mike Yingling.
- Aluminum over Glass by Gooserbat
- Brass over Glass by Spring Fever Custom Calls

What surface do you all think would be a next good purchase? And if you have a favorite call maker I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks!

A good slate surface would be my pick.
Sneed Hot Hen or a Footballer Slate over Slate in Persimmon or Pecan would be a great start.

Halloran Crystal mistress or twisted sister would go well with what you already have.

Call up Lonzo and order you a green slate call. Ask what he thinks is currently his best combo, and he might have something available already made up.

Then call up Jimmy Schaffer and order a crystal call.

X2 on the Shaffer — he makes outstanding calls and is the best to deal with in my opinion . Very good guy. You won't be sorry

Tom Foolery

Yingling copper over slate in ash or Footballer slate


Or do what I did


Both

Twisted Sister and a good green slate Blackstone cherry or MAC walnut  (twisted sister no wait probably will be after the season on the other two but the wait wouldn't be that long).

Lonzo glass acrylic glass over glass or bulletwood glass over green slate (probably also after the season but not a long wait but he may have something on hand).  Midwest carries some of his calls.

You definitely need a good slate to add to you're collection.

To me would be what catches my ear every ones ear is different

Like mentioned above...pick up a good slate. The list of good call makers is to long to list, but here are few I would look at. 
Strut Zone Game Calls...Paul(Bubba)Hicks Jr.(Daddy Rat here on OG). You can't go wrong with anything from Paul.
I have a Black Walnut slate over slate from Jimmy Schaffer....Oak Ridge Custom Calls, that just sings. He also makes a great crystal call.
Sycamore slate from Footballer(here on OG) is as good as many of the well known call makers.

I agree. I have a walnut green slate over glass from him that worked well for me last spring...Stumpys ceramic would be another good one for you to pick up,and also like someone else said a Halloran crystal mistress and or twisted sister.

Not a big slate fan so i would look hard at a Lonzo glass in bullettree pot, Schaffer Mad Hen 1 crystal or dawkins plastic pot crystal.  Nathan Taylor crystal in zebrawood would be good too but he is not taking orders now.

Lonnie Sneed hot hen slate and his Outlaw hen glass. Both are kill'n calls.

Paul Hicks AKA Daddy Rat, his Walnut glass over glass is top shelf
