Title: Commercial pot call?
Post by: jbo225 on March 28, 2017, 09:46:11 AM
Is there a such thing as a good commercial or production pot call?

Cody Woodsman slate has called in a bunch for me. Turkeys seem to love the sound.

I agree w the Cody woodsman but at the price point you have lots of options

I don't consider Hooks as production calls.

My favorite is a Cody Envy Glass that I bought from Walmart about 20 yrs ago. It was the first "nice" turkey call I ever bought. It sounds better than some of the customs I own.

Knight & hale scarlet fever is a excellent pot call for the money. You can buy them on ebay.

out of this list, definitely the Halloran
I'd tend to agree but if you need it now the woodsman unless you see it for sale somewhere. Imo forget Zinks

That's where I was looking just need to figure out which one

I agree with Bowguy - forget Zinks.

Really can't go wrong with any of the others. All reputable (and not "commercial" by traditional definition). If you're looking for a slate in Midwest, might as well consider a Lonzo also

Good luck!

I just got a Cody woodsman drop dead slate and im very happy with it.All suggestions so far are good calls also. I did run a bunch of "production" pots last weekend at Bass Pro and the best sounding call i played was the new Knight & Hale Canyon Rocker Aluminum. Great sounding call that i might just bring home myself next time.

Halloran Sugartown Sweetness II is probably his most underrated call and you used to be able to get it at Midwest, not sure if you still can. That call will flat out play and the slate side is just as soft and subtle as you can ask for. It spits out feathers on both sides.

My turkey hunting partner has a Cody Envy slate from 20 years ago that still comes out of the vest first every year.......I've never heard one like it.
He ran it for the Cody guys a few years ago and they tried to buy it back from him. LOL  :o
I have an old "River Valley Game Calls" MOJO glass call that would kill a bird every year if I didn't have prettier calls.
