Looking for H.S. Strut Black Magic aluminum pot call

The simple history is HS copied my Carolina Classic pot and after some efforts they stopped production in 1998.

The good news is the Carolina Classic pot ( still going strong for over 20 years ) is still in the WildTalker Game Calls line and will have an aluminum call for next season. The hold up is basically the coating or finish which is still in it's R&D stage. As we all know while aluminum produces some awesome sounds, it has striker and slipping issues. Plus to human and not actually turkeys...... it's metallic sound is something I hope to calm down.

They do pop up on eBay from time to time so that maybe a place to keep checking. The BM is a great call even though HS did not have the rights to produce and sell them.

I have one of these and love it. Have used it for years. Mike, I could not find the Carolina Classic on your site.

The Carolina Classic pot and Lightning Rod striker are going through some small changes and what I did have sold out at the Nationals.

What right of exclusivity do you contend that you had that precluded them from making and selling the Black Magic?

In other words, did you have a patent?

Interestingly, I was out with a friend this weekend that broke out a Black Magic that he has had for years.  It has a synthetic pot and was tough to condition and run IMO.  I've heard much better aluminum pots.
