Best slate

[MK M GOBL]

I will always go with my CODY Slate Call; my World Class has been retired to one of my Displays as I was gifted a SPEC 1 LEGEND!

*Someone here had some CODY calls posted recently, and I did notice a SPEC 1 in there.

Sadler McGraw walnut slate

Partial to the consistency of the realistic sound coming from Gobbler Down Calls. I will also give a shout out to Bradley Humphrey who produced a Slate/Carbon Fiber call that is a killer.

I have several that are phenomenal.
Lonzo Bubinga Black Slate
Buster Persimmon Red Slate
Eddie Wynne Persimmon Slate
Paul Durham Osage Green Slate
All are absolutely full of turkey

Some will say Sneed, Halford, Dawkins, Lonzo, Cody and so on but I normally let the turkeys tell me what they like.  There isn't a Holy Grail out there.  As others have said, each of us has that hen in our heads that we are searching for in any pot.  I'll tell you, I have killed more turkeys with and bought many more to end of the gun barrel with the Primos Ol Betsy slate in a plastic pot using a JLH Frogwood or other birch laminated striker.  I would Love to get my hands on and play a Mike Battey slate, to see how they compare.

Battey you say,

Ricky Padgett has made some of the baddest slate calls in the country for a long time. Myself and I'm sure many Carolina boys have a persimmon slate over glass he made a batch of in 2016.... I'd call it criminal. I quit carrying it so much because it made other calls a waste if you wanted to get kills on them. There may not be one sound that always does it, but some calls simply have "it", that years of blood and feathers in many places can't deny

It will play too

Battey you say,

Yep!  I would love to play that just to see how it stacks up to the Betsy.  I'm sure they are Very Similar

Got my Battey prototype from the man himself hunting when I was a teenager...he was kind enough to gift it to me when he was working on his Primos/K&H pots. It's been used on more trickery than any other pot I have. (He also gave me an Alumislate a couple years later. Learned a lot from Mr. Battey)

personally red slate ti my ear is just awesome....and buster makes a awesome red slate...but that's just me and the striker will play a huge role in that as well I like a good laminate like a frog wood or a canarywood personally and for me only JLH strikers....awesome guy but his strikers are even better
