Only 1 striker

[Gobbler2577]

Cant imagine having just one, but if I had to it would be a JLH heavy hickory.  It just runs everything very well.

For me it would be a dymondwood or laminated wood.  These two grip and play on most surfaces.  With that being said, I never go in the woods with only one striker.  10 usually!  Glenda's striker wrap is always full.

Tough decision. My top three favorites are a Torman dymondwood, JHL heavy cedar, or an osage striker hand whittled by an old turkey killer from West Virginia I was gifted many years ago.

To take one, it going to be the osage. One of a kind.

Oh wow. Im interested why a man would need 10 strikers on a hunt! Care to explain?

Because he couldnt carry 11!  Different striker=different turkey.  Some days that gobbler just wants to hear a certain sound.  Dont know how many times a bird just wasnt interested until I picked up the right striker.  May not be the best sounding one to me, but it was the right one that day.

  I typically carry 6-8 strikers w/ a range of hardwoods to softer woods which all run differently on various pots depending on a myriad of factors ie. temperature, humidity, etc. , but if I was relegated to a single striker it would be on of my hand-made Massaranduba (bulletwood) boat paddles.

This!!!  Each striker changes the sound on each pot.  When you fish, you don't know what they want that day so you change it up.  If I don't get a response with a certain combo, I change it up.

I agree, i carry more than one , striker in my roll up...that's why i buy them is to use them ,  i like some more than others ... SO i ask the same question WHY JUST ONE STRIKER ?

Like I have said before, turkeys are like human men, some men like blondes, some like brunettes, some with brown hair, me, I love me a redhead. You never know what kind of women a turkey is going to like so bring something for each range of sound and try them on each pot. I have a call I love the sound of but I have yet to have a turkey reply to it.

If I had only one it would be my CODY Light Hickory, of course this is because it's on my CODY World Class Slate or my SPEC 1 Legend!!

Now I do carry 6 strikers with me and 2 call surfaces 1 Slate and 1 Glass, I sound like a dozen different hens from some old raspy down to the young one, then another half dozen diaphragms (18 different voices). It's what works for me!!

Let the bashing begin but mine would be my Primos Kee Kee striker.

For me it's JLH's Pernambuco. Sounds great on glass, aluminum and slate, haven't tried other surfaces though. His Sucupira is pretty awesome too for a raspy number.

Lyman green dymondwood

Now, that's just silly!!!
