Black Magic is the only one I'll carry

RE: Aluminum Calls
 

Called in my first bird with an H.S. Strut Alumiwitch. You could tell the birds were a long way off, but they came in on a string to some awesome sounding clucks.

I've always used one and like the volume I can get off the Aluminum. I like the Triple Threat By QB , and too use a wood striker on the call , can tone down the sound and add life like tone to the call. Over the years I've found the Cedar and the Aluminum seem to get along very well...BT

If you want an aluminum call that's easy to work, and sounds good, get the Lohman Thunderdome and a rosewood striker. can't beat it.

I agree with totoes, about the aluminium, but if you want an excellent sounding slate (frictionite) try the freak by primos i bought one this year and let me tell you it sounds great, and you can strap it to your leg or gunstock for less movement, just my 2 cents worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i stay away from aluminum calls. Even though they may be effective sometimes, i just dont like the sound of em.

RE: Aluminum Calls
 

I bought the Black Magic today and its very easy to run with the plastic striker.Sounds pretty sweet. We'll see what the birds think.;) I aslo tried a hickory striker and man does it sing.

I also use the MAD super Aluminator.

I can tell you I have actually used it as a last resort in an are. I have used a box, a diaphram and even a shock call to get a response. Nothing.

Then I take out his Aluminum and within 5 minutes in the same area I was getting nothing I am suddenly getting Gobbles.

They do take a lot of Maintanence keep the sand paper with you. The one problem I have had is that there are times you need to rough the entire slate. When you do this take a minute to find the new sweet spot.

I have called more birds in with this call than anyother, most are lucky enough to only be shot with the camera as my season usually is only 1 week long. The camera extends the season.

I'm a MAD Super Aluminator fan too. It sounds really sweet with a striker I got from Bosstom. It requires a bit more maintainence than the glass/crystal calls I've used.
