Title: Aluminum suggestions
Post by: rbreedi1 on February 22, 2016, 01:22:43 PM
Ok guys, I am looking to add an aluminum call to my collection. Not sure what I want to go with, I was thinking the Atomic 13, Lonzo's Acrylic , or maybe one of the new Dawkins stoned aluminum? Anyone tried these and have some input? Or another suggestion?

Thanks!

Three great calls you have listed. You can't go wrong with any of the three. For the price, you can't beat Dawkins new stoned aluminum in his plastic pot. That calls sounds great and runs like hot butter.

Supreme talking dirty or a Lyman wenge aluminum, but that atomic 13 and trice acrylic are fantastic too, and I don't have one yet, but the Dawkins plastic aluminum apparantly is great too.

I have all three and like Jody suggested,  you cant go wrong with that plastic stoned aluminum,  so easy to run and sounds great.  Scoot

I got a Dawkins anodized walnut aluminum and his plastic pot stoned aluminum. Both are great sounding calls but that stoned aluminum is crazy easy to run. I love it. Would like to try it in his walnut pot.

I just picked up an Atomic 13 this afternoon and it sounds amazing with a nice rasp to it.  Easy to play too.  Won't find a nicer guy than Jimmy either.  If you give him a call, have him run his Blue Mahoe crystal call for you.  That's my new favorite pot call and I also just got it today.

Atomic 13, Dawkins walnut, Lonzo acrylic all great calls and youd not go wrong w any. One maker I've been getting more interested in as for great sound n ease of play is SS so there's another option well worth considering

For the price I'd go with the Dawkins plastic stoned aluminum,to me it sounds just as good if not better then the walnut pot but both run awesome..atomic 13 is a nice one,the ss aluminums would be a good one also good luck..
