Who do you guys like for aluminum pot calls - preferably no more than 3 - 3.25in.. ?
I like my Atomic 13 by Jimmy Schaffer @ Oak Ridge Custom Calls
I don't own an aluminum smaller than 3.5 inches. My favorite are the Atomic 13 and Dawkin's stoned aluminum.
Atomic 13 is awesome, used it to call lots last year,, I also like Dawkins walnut aluminum, cleanest yelps you ever heard, Lonzo acrylic aluminum gives the most perfect clucks n cutts, call is full of life, Mark Cornelious makes one in a walnut or redheart pot thats def coming opening morning, love that call, Paul Platz makes one that sounds great n is easy to play as well. Def do not leave SS aluminum out, call sounds awesome, very easy to play w zero squealing or mistakes, almost can't make it sound bad w any striker. Best bet get em all
Here are my 3 favorites. Each sounds different but they are all great in there own way. I don't hear much about the Hanks call but it is really good once you scuff it up a bit.
Schaffer Atomic 13
Lonzo Acrylic Aluminum
Hanks Maple Aluminum
Mike Yingling's 3.25" half blasted/half sanded aluminum is an awesome call.
thanks men - I got a Atomic 13
Love the atomic 13 I just got, have a tumbled aluminum in agate pot coming from Lonzo this week, will have to compare it as well!

Atomic 13, warbird aluminum or a Hanks aluminum in ambrosia maple
Congrats on your new pot!
Mark Cornelius black anodized over glass in a cherry pot, certain death!!
The best I've played is the Lonzo acrylic. I have a platz cherry that should be ready next week, after that the Mac aluminum will be my next purchase.

That's what I'm hoping for, glad to hear it was a good choice!
Dawkins stoned aluminum in a plastic pot , platz cherry aluminum and lonzo black acrylic. These are the best that I have played. Dawkins stoned is in my vest now. It is just about conditioning free and is very consistent. Plays very easy and virtually skip free. Oh and sounds like a hen turkey too.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
