Turkey calls are expensive, especially when you eventually get to up around 30 or 40 of various kinds and makes.
Problem with the Diaphragm calls, are that you can`t try them out at the store like you can maybe the slate or box calls.
Anyone willing to share what their favorite Diaphragm calls are and why? Make any recommendations for calls I might want to plunk down the money to try?

Doesn't help you much with your question, but I usually pick up the diaphragm calls at Wally after the season is over and they go on clearance...
Just so long as you don't leave them in your truck for extended periods of time they last a while!

I am not sure who makes it (and I lost it last year on my last hunt of the season) but I really like the one with the hard plastic convex piece that lays against the roof of your mouth.... I have a problem with mouth calls tickling the roof of my mouth and this one does not do that..... if I remember correctly it was about $7 for just one call.

I believe that would be primos, sonic dome maybe?? |

I like Harvest calls in a 3 reed uncut, Quaker Boy Pro Triple, I also bought a kit to make my own calls.

I always had better luck with the single reed calls, but that's just me.

Legacy mouth calls are my favorite. They are a little more money but I can usually get a couple years out of them. Most of the other calls I've tried are worn out at the end of the year. Fatal Attraction, Prized Posession, Leading Lady are my favorites. All are easy to purr, cut, and yelp on. Another that I really like and have had great luck with is the Split V made by Scott Alexander from Turkeytamer calls. It's a 3 1/2 reed call that sounds awesome.

I ordered some Woodhaven calls from Midwest and think they sound good.
I saw them in the Bass Pro spring catalog on page 21 item 24-872-033-00 for $9.99 and knew it was a miss print. This is a three pack and was told by the sales person that they are $29.99 for the three and could not honor the 9.99 price.

My favorites and the only one's that I have carried since I tried them are all made by Scott Hook at www.hookscalls.com. The Executioner, Seducer and Sassy Gal 2 are my favorite in that order. The take very little air to use, have the most realistic sound that I have ever gotten out of a mouth call and are slightly smaller. If you have a small palate, they are very nice. They have the standard size frame, just smaller tape. If you do not like the smaller tape or do not trim your store bought mouth calls and want to order some from Scott, then you may be better off calling him and letting him know what you want. He will make them with the larger tape if you prefer that. Super nice guy and top notch calls all the way. |

I only have one, but it sounds better than any I have bought from the store |
