RE: Water proof calls

Now, I haven’t tried this personally, but my dad took an old, cheap box call and covered the thing with spray on polyurethane. Then he masked it off with tape and sprayed the striking surfaces with chalkboard spray paint.

It was as ugly as sin, but he took it into the bathroom, ran the tub on full blast and stuck it in the water for 10-20 seconds and that thing still ran. Not the best box call I’ve ever heard, but certainly serviceable, especially soaking wet.

Again, I haven’t tried it yet. And I personally wouldn’t do it to a call I wasn’t afraid to pitch afterward. But that said, I was impressed.

I never knew ‘ole dad was that clever….
