When I started, I used pot calls until I could really run mouthcalls.
Now I carry a couple custom pot calls, one a Cherrywood slate, and a maple glass call
I also have an aluminum pot call
I carry a bunch of strykers, but use a tulip and a polymer ones the most.
I also have a custom box call that I have tubed to make very, very soft tree clucks, and that is all I use it for.
I also have a "wallet" full of mouth calls, stretched different ways with different reed counts
A good wood owl hooter, and a crow call are also necessities
Pm me if your interested in some very, very good custom calls at a decent price
I don't make them but staff for the company
