Guys,

Looking at a new call. Currently run a Halloran twisted sister, love it. Looking for a good slate to accompany it. Would like to purchase from Midwest supply, so let me know which of the three you like or another they offer that you'd pick over them. Thanks!

Best slate I've ever seen is Schafers n he's not in Midwest. If you want a great call you oughta just get one. Unless you're obligated to Midwest or something

Paul Platz, cherry slate, not on midwest. Or if you are going through midwest the Lonzo. I have a glass birdeye and it's really nice. I really want to hear his slate in a zebrawood pot.

Lonzo or Halloran on Midwest, but honestly you should call Lonnie Sneed and get a Hot Hen.
Just an opinion:)

I would not count out hanks slate either. I don't think you'd be unhappy with halloran's, hanks, Lonzo or tom teaser.

I voted other because I am fond of a Cane Creek slate. It's hard to beat for the price. I also carry a Hooks slate which I am partial to, birds really like the Hooks at least for me.
