Title: Best bad weather pot call
Post by: Onpoint on April 29, 2014, 12:00:39 AM
I can't bring myself to pack my nice custom pot calls when it's raining like hell all day. I usually bring just one on those days and 2 waterproof strikers. Rarely use it cuz I hate the way it sounds with thr waterproof strikwrs and it seems to sound even duller when the surface is wet. Just use a ghost cut for th e most part anyways. I can do anything on that that a pot call can do and then some. I still like having a good sounding pot, SO¡ I've decided to buy a call and striker that is just for miserable, rainy, creek wading, terrible conditons. The kind of stuff that you eork don't even wanna take a mossberg along for the hunt.

Here's my question, what surface grabs and plays the best when it's soaking wet. The call has to sound good or I'll never use it. I really need it to be able to be kinda high pitched to slice the wind if need for those days but also I need it to be able to do a good soft realistic cluck and purr.  Somebody point me in thr right direction for the best call for those kinda days.

Mouth call or trumpet. I don't think what your looking for exist. But I could be wrong.

Find a carbon tipped striker and some slates will play wet. Does d sound ideal but it's close enough

I just stay home when it's raining....nothing worse than a wet dead turkey.

To answer you question...glass call with an acrylic striker.
