Zink Thunder Ridge Aluminum

[philbilly223]

Anyone have any experience with this pot?  Picked one up on sale, came with a purple heart striker. Any ideas for a good striker for aluminum?

It's my go to call when it's raining I use a cotton mouth striker by Cane Creek. It work and sounds great in the rasp and keeps my custom call from getting wet.

That's exactly what I use on rainy days (along with the slate and crystal).

I just got the aluminum,not bad at all for 19.99 on sale. Sounds better than some of the "customs" I've had.

An excellent call for inclement weather, sounds better than alot of high dollar calls!

Is that Cane Creek striker acrylic tip?  I was thinking about getting birch or dymondwood. Would these be good choices for aluminum?

Won't use anything Zink simply cause of the "wicked series" junk they sell. Nothing with a name like that is coming in my house. Even Woodhaven Blue Demon is dumb

Are you referring to the anodized aluminum or raw aluminum? I'm curious how the anodized aluminum sounds. I love the design of these pots.

[philbilly223]

The anodized is what I have. I was running it last night a bit differently than I run my slate and glass and really liked what I heard.

I ran a bunch of Zink calls at the Harrisburg show this winter.  I was not impressed at all with the sound.  They were very inconsistent in their sound and they weren't very turkey.  The rollover on some was non existent.  I ran between 12-15 calls and found them all to be the same.
I would have expected much better from them.  I was looking to buy one of their calls but I couldn't justify buying one.

I have the anodized aluminum. It rolls over better than most of the custo aluminum pots Ive had. Lou my son bought one of there new crystal calls and it didnt make the cut.It was returned.

[philbilly223]

What type of wood strikers do you use?  I am having some inconsistency with one of the purple hearts that I have. Was thinking about dymondwood bc I read a lot on here about that being good with aluminum
