They take a little getting use to, but they are really easy to work with once you get use to the positioning. I like the fact that I can pull them out and start calling right away. I've had problems with other calls sticking together and taking a while to get moist enough to seperate. I used the Deadly Double last year most of the time, but I also like the palate plate series like the Raspy Double Hook. What can I say, I'm from Jackson, MS. I gotta stick with Will and the boys. They make great calls.
