I'm starting to enjoy these threads, after all the response to my "deadliest call" and "favorite crystal" threads. Very interesting to see the various calls everybody prefers to use. So with that in mind, let's talk about a pot surface that doesn't get talked about a lot anymore. What's your favorite aluminum, best sound and easiest to run? I have two of them, a lightsout anodized aluminum and just received a Schaffer aluminum. The lightsout is a good one, and birds respond well to it. I'm still learning the Schaffer, it has a great sound but seems a little picky about striker angle. What's your favorite?

I'm pretty proud of my own High Standard line but if I wasn't running my own I'd look at Lon Trice.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

My Paul Platz cherry aluminum. Aluminum is my least favorite surface but I use it from time to time to give the birds something different. I have killed a few with it but out of all my pot call surfaces it is dead last in dead birds.

Only one I have ever had is my black anodize aluminum in white oak pot from Footballer, sounds pretty good to my ears anyway.

Just purchased an aluminum pot from Darrin Dawkins and can't wait to try it.  A buddy recommended it.

I've got a "Game Over" aluminum from SS Calls that sounds great.  It screams when you need it to.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Finally found a aluminum that I like. It is a Brad Roberts aluminum  over glass in a Elm pot. It sounds very good and does not slip or stop playing as others have.

Really like the Silver Thunder from Al Holbert ( Enticer Calls ). Plays wet or dry, has a corian back that is just great for soft, subtle calling.

Mike Robare, I have a Halloran anodized and the Robare gives me the subtle sounds you sometimes need.
