I build my own box calls in the field i use a Sycamore & Black Walnut Boat Paddle Box its very loud an has alot of raspy sound custom calls make to me the best money can buy..
If you can go someplace where you can run a few first would be great. some good ones already said also ill add Lynch's Fool Proof, andPrimos one sided Box Cutter. good luck
Now after chasin' for all these yrs or so and since a box is one of my favorites you have been given some good information above. Try the call before ya buy it - BUT - you will come to find over time Custom is the way to go.
You can buy custom for he same amount you pay over the counter.......and be better off for it!
Will last you a life time!

I have a M.A.D. river otter and a primos hurican. I like the M.A.D. box call better. I have tried the heavy metal box call and that sounds good too. You don't need to use chalk on those ones either.
