Over the years which pot calls have you bought that you felt gave you the best bang for your buck? Quality, effectiveness, durability vs $$$ spent?
Lonnie Sneed hot hen slate, Jake Naessens walnut double glass.
Dustin Jones calls are way fairly priced.
The new Loftis Double Barrel sounds great on the slate and crystal!
Cane Creek pro custom slate or Cody II slate. Used these before I started building calls and for the price you can't go wrong. I did use another striker on both as I didn't like theirs.
Enticer Silver Thunder Extreme Aluminum. This is the only pot that had a permanent spot in my vest this season.

Good choices for sure
I would say for the buck is a Sinclair titanium.
Very hard to beat a Lonnie Sneed hot hen for $45,,
Bang for the buck though might be a dbl sider from one of the to makers
Reynolds clear Crystal Carolina Assassin double sided is a good one. The frosted crystal is nice to but I like the clear crystal better myself I have both.
The slate on the bottom does the soft stuff great.

I'm still looking for my favorite. Some days it's this one, some days it's that one.
However, I can say my old Lynch Foolproof box call always rides along with me.
When all is quiet, I usually can get at least a courtesy gobble, from it, to let me know they are there.

This is a good one. Can play loud on aluminum surface or soft call on back of pot. Plus, this call runs great when wet too.

I really feel a quality 2 sided call is the way to go as of late. Crystal over slate with a few good strikers for different sounds. Lugging along 5 pot calls isn't up my alley and can even be a little confusing out in the woods. I like confidence when I pull out a call from my bag.
The simpler the better......
Good luck!

I have to agree !! I own three 3.5" and two 3.25" titanium over slate calls. My go to calls :icon_thumright:
"Quality, effectiveness, durability vs $$$ spent?"...
3.25" Sinclair Bocote stainless steel
Enticer if bang for the buck is the key. Particularly the rectangular walnut aluminum Double Trouble for $15.95. A great sounding call for an old school price. Even if you go with his 3.5" calls they are like $35. You can spend more but they are hard to beat.
Yingling copper. Love that little call!

I was going through my pots the other day (post season reorganization) and picked up a H.S. Strut Zombie Green (can't remember the name) and I will say it makes some amazing high quality yelps and cuts...I don't remember thinking that highly of it when I bought it on sale from Wally.

AGREED on the Sinclair 3.25 Stainless Bocote. Worth more than I paid for it. :icon_thumright:
Also agree with Enticer calls. I own several of Al's calls and they are top notch sound wise with my favorite being the "Timeless Thunder" glass call made from very old recovered old growth hardwoods.
