Right now, as inexperienced and as ignorant as I am at the moment on this entire business, I'd say my favorite is the one I'm most comfortable with right now. And that's my Southland Pro Series 3 Reed Penn Special, cause I finally made a decent sound out of it. I've got a couple of homemade box calls as well, but I haven't had much to compare them too, yet, so I'm not sure what I've got. But, I will say that that mention of the Blodgett Tough Country slate over glass caught my eye.
