RE: Advice Sought - Calls
Different surfaces tend to have very different sounds from one another just as the different strikers sound different on the same call. Some strikers will work better on certain surfaces than other you will just have to try out different combos. As far as pros/cons my glass call can work when wet (tested this unwillingly) some surfaces seem to me to be easier to get a sound out of. Some sporting goods stores will let you take the call out of the package to test them or may even have one specifically for testing, of course you may want to ask before tearing into them... I personally love slate type calls as they are fairly easy to use and can produce a wide variety of sounds and calls. I have figured I can make the sounds of 30+ turkeys with all my slates and strikers. Hope this helps you out!
