Thread: Single Reed callers

Hi folks.

Just after recommendations for a good single Reed caller.

I find my double Reed caller gums up a bit( yes I clean it etc) so I was wanting to know what people are using for easy to use single Reed mallard callers that don't break the bank.

Shooting ponds that are in competition if that helps

OLT66 SONDERMAN 66 the old ones are olt new ones the same just different label....still one of the best callers around,and now not every man is using one,the ducks love them again too.....
some great duck commander calls... Ive got 4-5 calls but the olt is still my favourite for newbie to use as its just so easy.

I run a DC ol raspy now and I can call with it pretty well so may just go for another DC single reed

Fantastic. I was looking at the Nag too

RNT calls are great see if you can get hold of a single reed daisey cutter.

+1 on RNT, Echo are also awesome, they will both ship from USA, but not cheap. The custom single reed calls have more range and can have way more volume (open water calls) than the cheap double reed stuff but they are harder to control/blow. Some single reeds can stick at times too, the mylar reed sticks to the tone board if you blow too much spit it them. You also have to periodically change the cork that holds the reed in place as they can shrink after multiple wet dry cycles.

The acrylic calls do not swell and change tone vs wood calls, there are never any issues pulling them apart to clean if they stick. vs wooden calls which can seize through swelling.

Some custom call makers sell a cheaper version of their acrylic or wood custom calls. The cheaper versions are made out of moulded polycarbonate as opposed to lathe or cnc turned wood or acylic . The Echo poly calls would be a good way to try a top end single reed cheaply https://echocalls.com/product-catego...te-duck-calls/

was in hunting and fishing the other day and they still stocking the sonderman 66

Cupped wing calls 'Cadence' is an amazing sounding locally made call. Pretty much all I use now.
