What is the purpose of different strikers for pot calls. I only have the rounded one that came with my call.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Each striker will give you slightly different sound.  Some folks prefer to carry fewer pot calls and multiple strikers.  Its really personal preference.

A good striker can make an ok call into a great one. Wood tones sound differenet, but weight, length, and head shape also make or break a striker.

Plus it's less bulky to carry more strikers than more pots.

For example, by having 3 srikers with one call you basically have 3 different calls with a fraction of the cost and weight.

I will add there are some "water proof" strikers out ther that do help in damp weather.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
