Mouth Calls for gaggers?
« on: February 16, 2011, 10:01:43 AM »
I have attempted a few times to use a mouth call without success. I have been told to try a youth model. Which brand should I begin with? I really don't want to spend $20+ on a multi pack or $20 with shipping for 1 mouth call.

I'm looking for a wallet friendly call to try & learn. If I can get notes and over my gag reflex I will step into a good call.

I read that on another forum but then I noticed every one of the recommendations came from someone with a Hook's banner....

Hey Shad, I started on the Quaker Boy "Double D" Its a beginers call and is very easy to use. I think I gave $4 at wally world for it. I couldnt get the hang of the calls until I tried it and after I used it the other calls just came along so easy.Its a small frame call and doesnt give you that gagging feeling.   Good Luck

Just checked out their website. Gotta say the video makes it hard to resist buying the calls. Man if every callmaker put video on theire websites I might go broke quicker  *wha*

Shaft I've had some luck with the Primo dome ones, but I just cannot get them to work.

Let me know if you find something!

Morgan knows a guy that builds them and he's highly recommended.  His name has slipped my mind right now...

Shad, Blacky who pops in here from time to time has a good variety of reasonably priced calls in various sizes and cutts. I'm sure he would try to work with you to find the right call. I have been using them for years.  Also I don't have any connection to them but I also like Hooks calls. The Sassy girl is a very good call. I get most of mine made by a good friend and former calling champion. He recently moved so I don't know his status on call making. Pm me and maybe I can get you guys together if yer interested. He was doing something like 5 for $15 shipped. That is dirt cheap for a good call. LT

I know Scott Hooks personally and he makes some of the best mouth calls available. Plus his calls are smaller and fits the mouth better. I personally like his Executioner and Devastator calls.

Shad, start with a two reed model. Duals are easier to learn on. Leave the trips and quads to the pros.
I get dual reed calls from Wallyworld and trim them down to fit comfortably.  Don't use them much anymore though.

I was at BassPro Saturday & picked up a HS small frame out of the clearance bin for $1.99 figured it would be ok to start with. I put it in my mouth and rode home 2 hours with it there and drank my Coke. I didn't gag once! After we got home I started trying to get some sounds. The baby started crying, cats were howling, & I thought the dog was gonna  *poo* on the floor  ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO

Looks like I got lots of practicing to do  *lol*
