The pot calls are all I usually use. Believe it or not, i bought an H.S. Strutt slate call from wal-mart 4 years ago. It came with a wooden striker and a carbon striker. The both work excellent and have called in plenty of birds with it. The best thing about them is that they can get wet and still work. Since I hunt in any weather this call works wonders. A box call doesn't work when its wet, nora crystall or glass call. But I like to use the crystall and the glass calls also. They are very loud and work great for long distance calls..lol no pun intended. I like to go to the turkey expo here in arkansas where i get to try a variety of calls and get tips from other hunters there. I always keep a diaphragm in my mouth for those moments when i cant move my hands when that turkey is up close. But my favored calls are the pot slate, glass and crystall calls. I have tried the two in one pot calls. Where one side was glass and the other side was slate but it didn't even last a year. It fell apart. I cant remember who made it though.
