Title: New Crystal Pot Call-Opinions
Post by: Gobble Nole on May 26, 2011, 11:12:26 PM
I currently have a slate call by Billy White that I have used and like very much.  I am interested in purchasing a crystal or glass call for a bit of variety.  If you had to make a recommendation on a pot call with a crystal or glass surface, What would it be? 

Also, what striker would you use with it?  Money is not an issue, it can be any call within reason. 

Thanks...

Supreme Turkey Calls, Pure Death in Pinnacle with an ivory tipped striker is my favorite

I personally don't care for crystal surfaces in my pot design.  I get a better sound and more consistency from bronzed glass.  Different pot designs generate different sounds with different surfaces.  Hope you find one you like.

Bought a Halloran Crystal Mistress this year and killed my three birds with it. Hate to tell you how many pots I've bought over the years, 4 customs this year alone, and this one's a keepa. Never got to use the others as they all responded so well to this one. It's got a real rusty gate yelp with a long rollover that drives them nuts yet it tones down nicely for purrs and clucks. For a young guy he's got this one figured out.

I had a custom laminated pot with crystal made by Andy Kaiser of Kaiser's Kalls and its wicked.  Ive also heard and played a Crystal Mistress and it rocks also.

I like good crystal myself. my one of choice the last two season has been the Halloran crystal mistress, but I own and like crystals by joseph vaughn, blodgett calls, legacy, roberts brothers, Dads, and cane creek.

I own about 6 different ones from Joseph Vaughn. He used to make a mean one.

Well I have ordered 2 custom calls from Wendell at lights out custom calls and cant wait to get them.  I ordered a bronzed glass call and an aluminum due to the amazing feedback that I have read.  It seems that his aluminum calls are really top notch and are a must have for the vest.  Hopefully Wendell will be up and working on them and throw some pictures on the forum before he ships them out.  I'm fired up... :z-guntootsmiley:
