Title: Recommend me a slate call
Post by: troutfisher13111 on March 04, 2017, 07:10:50 PM
I have a Halloran Twisted Sister that is always with me. I want to get a slate call to compliment it. Something a bit more mellow than the sister.

Dean Redbeard Mundhenke or a Jack Mincey slate are my top two choices for slate surfaced pots.

If you can find a Halloran laminate slate it may be one of the best

This ^

Also, and I'm not a slate fan, I'd look at Mike Yingling's slate. I've got on in an ingrown maple pot and it flat sings. I've had lots of slates. Most were production calls. Had a Sinclair, Halloran and a Cody. All that's left is the Yingling and sneed. They've been the best of the best.

That's a sharp display. I've never run the world class but killed lots of birds w a woodsman. Haven't given away or sold that one. Only non custom I have. It's a very decent call and I used it to call a double for my daughters firsts

Thanks! Came up with the design, a guy from Cody got me the sign. If you get on their FB page you might notice my "Hook'd" bird there :)

I have a good story on my Cody and how I now own 2 World Class Slates :) Ones on the "Collector" Shelf

 My Sneed Hot Hen compliments my crystal mistress quite well. And I like how the hot hen has the traditional slate sound. A lot of the top slate calls sound like a glass call to my ear.My  :z-twocents:

1 Longnecker Paduak slate: https://youtu.be/j-k_ItW_g7I

2 Sneed hot hen

The longnecker slate can make your ears bleed, or toned down mellow. The hot hen is just classic good. I like them both, but the paduak is always in my vest.

Along with my twisted sister, I'll carry 2 Jimmy Schaffer slates. They're different woods and 2 distinctly different birds. Both will scream or talk soft.

Check out cross road calls.  Richard makes a great looking fantastic sounding call for a very good price. He has a website and lots of calls on ebay.  You won't be disappointed.

I would give Lonzo a call and if he can't get you one made up before your season starts Midwest turkey supply usually has the Birdseye maple in stock
