OK guys, the call costs $125.00! That is steep for a pot call. Is that call worth twice as much as dozens of custom pots for less than half the cost?? I know Lonnie Sneed gets $20. and they are killers!

I have one, and call in allot turkeys with it..a very good call.. I paid $75 for mine back in 1994..It's is part of turkey hunting history.. I think he started making calls in 1981 ???
-
Is the call worth that? No but the name on it sells. Killed many a bird with a Cody call!
-
Cody makes good calls no bells or whistles just killers. I have one of the first world class glass calls Bill made and managed to finally break the glass a couple of years ago. Bill rebuilt it for me without a charge you cant beat that for service.

Bill's lastest call is called "The LEGEND."
For 200.00, you too, can own one *wha* ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO

I have no doubt his calls are killers and his service is top notch but man I can get quite a few killers & great service for $200....

After what Woodhaven did to Rodger Parks........kee-kee disc deal........ *poo* head owner!!!!!
I wouldn't own anything they make.......

125.00 isn't too much to pay for a good call I see a lot of calls selling for a lot more. When I bought my World Class call I paid 30.00 for it and it lasted 25 yrs. not too bad then I dropped it on a concrete floor. Since it was repaired it is still like new. The LEGEND sells for 250.00 Z now that is expensive! What happened to Rodger Parks?

No offence but $250.00 ??? What The Heck??? I would call Al or Richard or a half dozen more and get 3-5 calls for that amount that have to be as good or BETTER!
Mike..Best Yet call Adam and get one free! *up*

No offense taken Mike I agree that 250.00 is far too much to pay for a pot call without a doubt. I would like to get a call from Adam but would expect to pay for it also.

Negative...... Not worth the price.....period..... ;D ;D

. The LEGEND sells for 250.00 Z now that is expensive!
They are smoking crack to ask that kind of $$$ for a friction call........I suppose, it's time for his & hers Hummers again.... :o

I would pay 125.00 on up for a custom call, but I would have to play it first.. I know you can send custom calls back if you don't like them, I have...but some I keep also .. I have found just because its a custom call doesn't mean theres a turkey in every pot!

Winner winner tukey dinner!!!

I'd rather pay $250 for a call that sounded like a turkey than pay $50 for a "custom" call that didn't. And I promise you that there are TONS of customs that are terrible when it comes to sound...in fact, the vast majority of customs fall in that category.

you're right on there mike,......play one first and know what you are getting, and make sure that you are able to send it back if you don't like it and try another one. There are lots of different ways of running 'em and still get good sound. the inconsistency of the mass produced calls is unavoidable,...yet they still put them on the shelf. I have some great sounding "mass produced" calls, and they are as real as you can get (both boxes and pots),...but unfortunatley the next 50 i tried fell into the catagory you are talking about mike.......you are right,... sometimes (emphasis on the sometimes)there is a big difference between building a true sounding turkey call and being an awesome wood worker.

You can own better sounding callers and ez to play from a lot of previous NWTF winners/champs, like Blodgett, Tyree, Parks, Harrison, Stanford, previous names mentioned ..............and so many more for less than $75.
I owned a couple of his so called top of da line callers and they did't make the cut. Besides that, what this guy has done to humiliate and pee off the likes of Parks, Tyree and more, I have nothing to good to say about him anymore....or his callers. If you have one and like it and hunt with it, and it calls in turkeys that is all that counts.
