There are so many to choose from nowadays it can be confusing. Ilike single reed wood or acrylic. As far as make pretty much gotta blow different ones til you find one ya like. I blow JJ lares and a mike mclemore mallard magnet. you get what you pay for the lower the price more trouble with reed stick tuning board problems. But there are some really good sounding inexpensive calls out there. Try to get a fairly raspy one for the type of hunting you are doing.
I use a Hunter style Rich-N-Tone and a Greg Hood' s Southern Game Calls Nasty Boy for ducks. I use a Lohman flute and Illusion Short Reed for Canadas. I also have an Illusion Snow Goose Call.

A very good and inexpensive call you can get at Wal-mart during season is the Haydel DR-85. It is the call I learned on and is still the call I use the most. I have never tried a call that was easier that this one. I think I gave around 10 or 15 bucks for it. Another inexpensive call is called a 6 in 1 whistle. I do not remember what brand I have. I use it mostly for widgeon. If you here a " who...we...who who...who who...we...who" you can hit the whistle and it will almost always turn them around and bring' em down.
I have RNT short barrel and I like it but my favorite call for timber is my Foiles Migrators Timber Rattler. Plus Foiles is a great guy and will give you help with anything you need.
i have a double reed pro magnum duck call by big river game calls. i think i only paid like 10-15$ for it and its one of the best calls i got. doulbe reed is good. i recomend it.
