RE: slate calls
I like custom calls better than production calls. I have a Blodgett Tough Country slate that I think might be the most versatile friction call I've ever played. It's just incredible. On the other hand, I don't wanna use that call in the rain so I bought a M.A.D Aluminator. It sounds better than most mass-produced calls. If you don't want to spend money on a custom call, but want awesome sound, check out the Premium Glass and Slate calls from Penn's Woods.
