Best Striker

[Sir-diealot]

What would be your pick for best striker on a green anodized aluminum pot call? If nothing goes wrong the glue should be all set on the one I am making Thursday night and can go out on Friday morning, I do not know anyone with one though so I don't know what striker to use with it and could use some help. Thanks guys. Here's a picture I took last week of a Jake just to give you something to look at.

I pretty much use JLH strikers and on my green anodized aluminums with his strikers I like his Blue Mahoe, Heavy Hickory and Frog wood.

Thank you much. I believe I have a hickory from him though I am unsure it is heavy hickory and I have his frogwood as well I do believe. I will try them after they have dried.

Just my experience with the green aluminium is not to rough it up. It seems a little coarser to me. Straight alcohol pad has worked for me.

Ask Jeff, he's so helpful.
He knows so much about his own strikers, then you can get one or more while in contact.

I don't have or run a green anodized aluminum pot, so I will not comment on that .

I have a pistol creek that came with a diamond wood type striker and it works great, I agree with not scuffing it up it works great without doing anything

My JLH frog wood works with it also

Matt Mclain makes some fine strikers.

[Sir-diealot]

First off thank you for all the replies. I may have intercommunicated what I am asking, I am more asking for type of striker (Wood type) than brand name of striker, I would like to know if any of what I already have will work well with it. I am rather low on money right as I just spent 372 on my driving/distance lenses for my glasses and have to spend another 310 next month so will not be able to spend anymore money until after June and then I have to fix my camera as the screen broke. I do indeed agree though, Jeff makes some nice strikers.

These are what I have right of hand, they are not all from Jeff though. I have many others, these are just what I have written down.

Here is a picture of the last one I can't remember his name and both totes are full of strikers not mentioned so I am sure I have something that will work, I am just trying to narrow it down some.

Thank you.

[Dtrkyman]

I think you got it covered!

[Greg Massey]

I would just sit down and try some of the different strikers you already have and find what you like in how it plays and sounds on that surface ...  You can pretty much take any pot call and about 6 different striker woods and play any call ...

[ManfromGreenSwamp]

You have enough. Plenty enough

Try them all and have a friend listen. Record them play them back
