Default Boat Paddle calls?

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck striking birds with boat paddle style boxes? I' m thinking about getting a Spring Fever long box from Close Calls. They' re beautiful, and they might be just the ticket to yank a gobble out of un-talkative longbeards!

If you use one, who makes it?

I would not go to the woods without my paddle call. I started carrying a Neil Cost paddle call in the spring of ' 85 and have been hooked ever since. I don' t carry my Cost call any more for obvious reasons, now I use a Lamar Williams paddle call. Paddle calls vary greatly in sound quality. I would not buy one without at least hearing it first.

Once the gobbling has stopped or you' ve heard no gobbling,they can be your best weapon.


A must.

I would never be caught without mine. It`s the 1 call that seems to strike birds when all else fails.

I' ve been wanting a nice big boat paddle myself. But where do you find them? Hardly see them around in local stores, much less cabelas or redhead. Even considered trying to make one myself.

I don' t leave home without one of my Lamar Williams paddle boxes unless there is a chance of rain and I don' t want to ruin one. I also just bought a couple of Tony Reynolds calls which are also very nice.

Does anyone have anymore places from which to order a quality paddle call? I have looked at the sites listed, just would like to see a few more. Both production and custom sites would be great. Thanks
