Best gobble Call---Haint?

I had posted this question in the "Locator Calls" section but things are pretty quiet down there---- "I have an old Red Wolfe gobble call but have heard good things about the Haint. What's your opinion of it?  Plastic or wood?" Any advice on gobble calls?  I understand the Haint takes a lot of practice but I'm up for it.  Gotta say my experience with gobble calls getting answered is not very good.  I've used two sided boxes with the rubber band for 50 years and the Red Wolfe call or that style for about 15.  I admit I don't sound great on them, even to myself.  I probably get a gobbler to gobble back at me less than 10% of the times I try.

I recommend learning how to use a tube call. Great to gobble on.

I don't even know if the haint is available anymore. And it's damn near impossible to run. I have one somewhere. My wife hid it years ago because she was sick of me sounding like a goose all over the house. That wolf's is good enough.

A lynch world champion 102 makes an OK gobble. Better than the shake tube.

The "Haint" ain't the best anything imo. For what limited sucesss a gobble call will produce a boxcall or tube would be better.

I wonder if anyone makes a box call specifically for gobbling?

A rubber band works pretty well on most boxes.

John Eddleman's Gator Gobbling Stribling, for one.

I gobble better on a mouth call than I have heard any other call sound. Just need a deeper pitched call

My dad back in the late 70's had a Roger Latham "true tone" box call the one with the leather strap. It made a pretty decent gobble. It wasn't good for anything else as I recall but he could get bird's to at least shock gobble back at it. I see them on flebay, I guess I should pick one up just to put on the shelf as a another reminder of time spent with him.

I had one of these and actually killed a handful of birds with just yelping and clucking on it.

Double sided long box works pretty well
