If you were forced to take only one striker to the woods to use on all your pots calls with different surfaces, what would you take?
Fowler snakewood w/ a osage top.....
Yellowheart. .....and if I had to pick another it would be katalox.
woodhaven birch laminate.
The one striker that has been used on every call I hunt with is a Halloran one piece purpleheart.
Woodhaven birch flair tip
Halloran one piece Ipe.
West Augusta (Torman) Black Locust...
Lyman snakewood
Believe it or not, the waterproof 2pc that Dustin Jones makes. It's an incredible striker on all surfaces!

Lyman snakewood
X2. This. His snakewood sure brings out some good sound on the majority of my pot calls.
I like too many to have just one on me but if I had to choose, I think I'd take hickory for fair weather.

Dad's monkeywood
Holliran Ipe
Woodhaven oak laminate
Lyman Dymondwood
Derrick Stuckey Hickory striker.
Buddy Stang dymondwood

Tough to choose. I could run any surface with either a snakewood or dymondwood. Love them both
Lyman dymondwood
Woodhaven flaired birch or Lonzo one piece d-wood they are both about the same the woodhaven is a lil higher pitch

Fred Cox Yellowheart is #1. I can run that thing on crystal mistress, halloran double glass, atomic 13, yingling copper, sneed hot hen, and local 2-sider by Eddie wynne. it's a good one. But, i have a pappy snakewood and Lyman snakewood and dymondwood on the way, so things could change, but they better be good to beat that YH.......stay tuned.
If I could only pick one it would be my Harold Fowler Snakewood
Brad Roberts Dymondwood and a Natural Addiction Persimmon.
Dymondwood
Neal gobblestix yellowheart

Wow! Everyone has a different favorite!
Lyman Snakewood. Or Primos Lucky 7 or dad's monkey wood or fowler Dymondwood or any of about 40.
Larry Gresser snakewood
If prob take a Snakewood w tulipwood n Dymondwood being very close seconds
Snakewood! I have yet to find a call it does not run well on. Well worth the price in my opinion
each call can like a different striker, Ive bought a _hit load over the years and then matched a few with each of my pots and sold the rest. Its easy to get all caught up in have a million. Its funny 10 years ago I had a cody pot and 1 striker and never had trouble killing turkeys..

Same here and killed more birds with it than any other the fancier ones I have today. Not saying these aren't killers but we definitely over analyze what it takes to call a turkey.

I agree I had a Cody Woodsman w an old Cody dark hickory striker. The stick runs great on lots of calls, the old Cody pot had killed tons of birds
Ditto on the old faithfuls! I've got a closet full of awesome custom calls...but my fav hunting calls are still a Cody Envy Slate, and an Old Jake 1-Hander (for in close work).
BOTH run like honey with the Cody Heavy Hickory, my #1 choice of strikers.
I agree jeff, but where's the fun in that??
Good point David, there is something to be said in the anticipation of "the box" in the mailbox

Oh, yea......The anticipation of that package in your mailbox filled with the newest, latest, & greatest magic pixie dust call, that you couldn't live without..... :blob10: :blob10:
Then come season, & you still grab some ole' trusted companion(s), that are tried and serve you with the utmost confidence....
If I could save the money, instead of buying all these turkey calls.......
Oh, never mind, that ain't gonna happen... :begging:
I buy lots of pots every year...do I need all of them... heck no...sometimes a different sound does make the difference...you get a hot gobbler an he seems like he will come running with a limited amount of calling on just about anything....you should see my musky tackle box(es) every size an color imaginable..but I always go to my old favorites..LOL
Halloran ipe or Lonzo two piece dymondwood
