 Wanting a new call...
What is your #1 go to single reed call for the marsh? I'm wanting to buy a premium call that can do it all.
It's hard to drop good money on a call when there aren't many places to try them out at. Anybody know of a store in SE LA that will let you try samples?

 Re: Wanting a new call...
Cabelas, Bowie outfitters, bass pro shops...
I blow a double reed, but since you're looking single reed, check out an RNT daisy cutter...I liked it in the marsh, pretty versatile can be loud or get down low. I can't speak for the diablos but I hear they're nice too.

 Re: Wanting a new call...
RNT Short Barrel is a nice mid range call about like the daisy cutter. Has alot of bottom end and can get pretty loud.

 Re: Wanting a new call...
I got the RNT DC Timber Hawg for Christmas....maybe it needs tuning or something...I think it did come from BPS or Cabela's...one of them, not sure. I wanted the Daisy Cutter. Read a lot of good things about it.
It seems to need a lot of wind and a lot of back pressure to get it to sound half way decent. Thinking about sending it to RNT and let them give it a look.

Echo XLT Acrylic--awesome range. Can be blown loud but also comes down soft.

The Best Call for you is the one YOU can blow! Everybody drives a call a little different.

 Re: Wanting a new call...
Find a store that you can blow a lot of different calls. Macks Prairie Wings is the bomb for that.

 Re: Wanting a new call...
I went with a couple custom calls and really like them, but it boils down to what blows the best. It's kinda like finding a new girlfriend now that I think about it.

 Re: Wanting a new call...
Check out the Elite calls from Brad Allen. I have both the Freak and the Cache. Used them after Christmas and they worked very well. Buddy at work just got the freak and he agrees it works great for him. http://elitecalls.net/
