I have a small tuperware container about the size of a skoal can and twice as deep. I fill it about halfway with mouthwash, put my reeds in it, and store it in the refrigerator from a month before the season to the end of the season. I don't keep the calls from year to year, I toss out the old ones and buy new ones.

I'm not made of money but I pretty much take Gobbcallers approach during and after season.I dont try to store my diaphragms at all.If it seems stretched out or worn to the point that I'm not satified with the sound I'm hearing it heads to the trash can.Luckily there inexpensive compared to all the other calls on the market and you have all year to purchase them.When spring season starts this year I will have around 15 diaphragms broke in and ready to go.These calls no matter what we do to them do not last.A long day in the field with a call in your mouth really takes its toll on the makeup of the call.I just make sure I have a new one ready to replace the old one.I've tried saving them in the frig before and they still over time will break down or at least dont last as long.To me there's nothing like popping a new broke-in call in your mouth and going to work on ole longbeard!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
