Who is your favorite pot call maker and playing surface?

I don’t use them much Matt, but my favorite is Stoney’s glass. That thing is LOUD lol

Cody. Drop dead woodsman and the spec 1 legend. Both green slate.

Had this one a few years now and it’s my go to

Old primos power crystal.

I got 3 Lonnie Snead slate calls coming - I hear they pretty special - but ain’t run them yet

Fatal Attraxxion glass

They are, I promise. You’ll love them

I have one aluminum one i like best

I've hunt with a heart of dixie field grade slate over glass, been using it for close to 25 years or longer. Slate is my preferred surface. It stays tied to my vest. I do carry couple of other surfaces but once I use one of them, to change up I end up not liking the sound.

I have one of Stoney’s glass calls, it has been in my vest a long time and has the kill marks on it to prove it. I guess I am just depressed that season is over and I need some new calls to get me by. That is a good looking call from obsession.

Of the readily available calls, I'd start out with a David Halloran Twisted Sister. There are a lot of not so readily available calls that are outstanding. Platz, Corder, Roberts, Daybreak, Trice, Strawser, Schaeffer, Dawkins, Cornelius, Townsend, and the list goes on. I've got calls by all of them, and the pot I go to is a Lon Trice stoned aluminum in an acrylic pot

Got an aluminum Old Crow call that can crank and a Old Crow smoked glass/titanium that I like a lot. Then there’s Stony’s Fatal Attraction glass call that I’ve had for years always makes the trip

Wow. Other than the Halloran call, I literally have never heard of any of those. I’m so far out of the turkey call loop…

Good luck finding several on that list.

I really like houndstooth Dixie hen crystal , also have his walnut slate, I ordered one of his titanium limited run calls and that thing sounds awesome. Havent got to take it to woods yet but that thing is sweet.

They can be found, just gotta look.

A small turtle shell with a piece of rock roofing slate with a piece of corn cob with a burnt striker.

If you want a professional one, go with the Lynch Jet slate call.

David Leonard slate
Southland crystal

Rocky top copper

Halloran crystal mistress and Hanks paduak aluminum are my go-tos.

Im partial to ours. With either a Ceramic or Blasted Aluminum playing surface.
Heres a Blasted Aluminum in the woods.

Cole my go to pot is also Lon's stoned aluminum in an acrylic pot. It has been the death of many turkey. I got on his list a month ago for another call he's building.

Some of my Lonzo's pots.

Tony Reynolds makes some good ones!

Nice ones. What surfaces?

Mike, it's a killer pot for sure. I keep buying more, but it's the one I always go to

Glass, slate and aluminum!

And some killer Bill Lyman's.

Just ordered some Lon Trice calls - never used him

With all those calls you been ordering lately, you can’t hide that money! 😁😂

Tdog what you get? Lonzo makes a great caller..

You boys sure have some pretty calls.

3baikey3 - he mentioned the green slate as one of his best sellers and aluminum over stone - I ordered both - he seemed like a real nice guy

Funny thing Hevishot - I don’t hav hardly any turkeys - at least I will hav some good calls to use 🤣🤣

southland yellow heart

i have a pile of slates but this one just seems to work better

i’ve got one brand new in the package - those are really good
i’m a walnut/slate guy - using a custom-made one now - but used a Billy White one for years

I sometimes think about getting a fancy one, but Ive been using it for 2 decades and the birds dont seem to mind. I have 6 or 8 more pot calls, but I rarely ever even take them in the woods.
