I've seemed to have lost my reeds on my last hunt. I have a couple to get by,but I will purchasing an order sometime today. I've always considered myself to be a half way decent mouth caller.(humble not great.) I was curious to know what is the hot new reed out there now? Hooks have always been my favorite. I'm not afraid to try something new. But I won't spend 20 bucks on a mouth call. Any comments woul be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
B-Well

I'm a big hooks fan as well, have you tried any of Houndstooth before? his Vixen, country girl, all pro, and my favorite deep beak are excellent
Hallorans TKO has been a favorite of mine for years as well
I love hooks! If you are interested in trying something new though look up Pecker Wrecker Turkey calls. I have used a couple of his calls throughout the season and really like them.
Love hooks myself. Just called in a bird for my dad the other day with the Executioner II.

Executioner is always a hit. There's a new one out called the game changer that I haven't used. I think I may try.
I have not used the hooks calls YET. I plan to very soon. So far my favorite mouth call is the Gooserbat OsS...

Executioner 1 and 2 are good. The game changer 3 is a great one to try also. I have have yet to try any of the Houndstooth, but hear lots of good things about them and will be ordering a few shortly. I'm also a fan of the Gooserbat bacon and hillbilly calls, haven't tried the OsS yet but plan on it.
Now this is just my opinion here, but using different calls from Primos...HS Strut...etc.. THEN trying one from a custom call maker, it is completely night and day. I will never go back to any name brand mouth call. I am curious on the Zink calls though.
Gooserbat and Hooks here on OG both make good mouth calls. :icon_thumright:
Stay w Hooks
I'm old school I always have like Quaker boy the twin II is a good call... one of the all time best was the true double .. best push call was Quaker boy easy yelper
Cane Creek, CC smoker if all ain't used it. Give it a spin :icon_thumright:
Thanks for all the replies. B- Well all.
I recently ordered 3 gooserbats and a hooks executioner ll and I still prefer and get better and easier sounds out of primos hook hunter calls just bought a couple more of the orange and red one today ...can't find a mouth call that I can talk turkey better on .....still wanna try Woodhaven
I've been using a Woodhaven Toxic Orange a lot... It's really versatile. Best kee kee run call you ever heard
I use......

I'm a big gooserbat fan. Bacon is my favorite but the hillbilly has been getting these WV birds fired up this week and is close to being my new favorite.
Cane Creek Dead end and Gooserbat bacon are my current go to diaphragms.
I've been usin mouth calls for over 35yrs, Houndstooth makes the best mouth calls I've used, call Lyle, he's a gobbler killer, he'll make you something great! My favorite calls are Dixie Combo, All Pro 3 and the new Vixen.
I realize that this goes against the flow of replacing new mouth calls at least annually (I've got a buddy who uses a new mouth call weekly!), but for the past 8 years I've used the same mouth calls, usually taking three gobblers annually in Illinois but only two this year. I store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator all year until needed, then soak them in a solution of about one-half mouth wash and one-half water, separating the reeds with a toothpick after 10-15 minutes. I've got 4-5 that I rotate and can't remember their manufacturer, but the gobblers still respond. At some point, I'll need to replace some of them, so I appreciate the reviews that I read on the various options.
I done the same I have some mouth calls I still use that are over 4 yr. Old. I just wash them off in warm water and use a small paper clip to seperate the reeds... place them in a plastic cup with lid and store them in the frig.
