Title: Which Lonzo? Or maybe a Hanks?
Post by: Ol Yelper on February 04, 2017, 08:00:27 PM
I'm looking to place an order from Midwest soon and can't decide on which pot call to order. Narrowed it down to Lonzo's Redheart Glass, his Yellowheart Crystal, or maybe the Hanks Zebrawood Glass. What do you guys think? Thanks!

I really like Lonzo's redheart. I have a few from him and it's definitely a keeper!

You'll be happy with any of those calls. Sorry to give you such a vanilla answer but I have both Lonzos and Hanks and I love them both. If you really want to be confused think about a Hollaran Crystal Mistress. I know...I know...no help at all!!!

That hanks zebrawood deserves a look, there's a reason it won so many awards last year

Don't order from Midway when you can call either call maker and ask them to help you, I like both but the Hanks just a litte more.

Calling the maker will give you many more options. I'd personally call Lonzo

Both Trice and Hanks make a great pot call.  Both have been DD Adams winners.  I feel like either way your money will be well spent. 

I just recently sold a Trice crystal over aluminum.  I had that call for about a year and then I bought the Hanks Zebrawood Glass over Aluminum.  I immediately knew I would hunt the hanks more. 

Soundfile of the Hanks for you to hear.

I'd call all of them. They'll all play what they have for you over the phone. Not familiar with the Hanks, but Jimmy Schaffer and Lon Trice are two of the best in the business. My favorite Schaffer is glass over slate and aluminum over aluminum. My favorite Lonzo is stoned Aluminum over glass.

Lon Trice , Brad Roberts and Kimmey Hanks make some of the finest pots you can get. They are all 3 great down to earth guys that will make sure you get what you want. Before your done , you most likely will have at least one from each of them.

Have to modify my answer a bit. Lonzo fav. would be Stoned aluminum over aluminum...
