That's what I kept hearing. I finally got one as a present this year. Maybe mine is a fluke, but I have much better glass calls that cost much less. Of course I don't have the 8 month waiting list musical grade mohagony one.
"A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user."
I ALSO HAVE THE CODY SLATE CALL. PRO BASS $35. IT IS A LITTLE LOWER PITCHED YHAN THE GLASS. IT IS THE SECOND FRICYION CALL I PULL OUT OF MY VEST. I KILLED FOUR LONGBEARDS LAST YEAR USSING THOSE PLUS MY DIAPHRAM CALLS. ONE LONGBEARD HAD DOUBLE SPURS! THEY ARE LIKE THE AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD... " I WON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEM!"
I bet "Bear Bryant" would have been a "Turkey Hunting Warrior!"

I have both a Cody slate and glass and like TScott, I own lots of better calls. They we're the first "custom" calls I bought and now, compared to other calls is my collection, they just don't seem very custom. Nontheless, they are good calls, worth the price I suppose. If anyone out there has their eye on a Cody friction call, I'd suggest you consider spending an extra $10 and get a call from Blodgett. Now those are some fine turkey fiddles.

Been using Cody calls now for about 9 years and like you DRG I'll never be in turkey woods without them. I cracked the pot on my slate a few years back and Bill replaced it for free. So not only are they great calls but the customer service is just as good. Good luck this season
i have a cody glass...its the envy...walmarts original price was 30 i think..got it after season for 12..its decint but nothing great...i think it still need broken in though..some makor sanding is in order..if that dont make her sing i will sell it to a friend and make money on it...i mean it sounds fine and all just not great how people rant and rave over cody calls..if thats all they can do i will save my money...well see when i fell like playing with it one day...nothing special but im sure it will call a turkey..
