What Box Call?

[62kodiak]

I am looking to get a box call before season and I was hoping for some input from you guys. I don't really want to spend more than $40. I have a Primos WetBox that I got for free and it is neat, but to be honest it sounds horrible compared to traditional chalked boxes.

Hard to beat a Lynch Fool Proof for the money.

I prefer custom calls, quality is not cheap and I've found you get what you pay for. You can get some custom ones for around 40 and up. I dont like mass produced calls, they are not tuned and not consistant.

Do you have anything in mind Brad? I might be willing to spend more for a good call. I am not a real big fan of production calls either, but I don't have a lot of money to spend. I would really like to get a competition quality box call but they are usually $150+.

SS custom makes a great box. Probably to late to get one this year though.

Well, I ended up buying a Cherry Bomb at Fleet Farm. It is a real nice call for $25. I also picked up a hand made call from a fella named John DeArmond. I wasn't expecting much because he makes the calls as a hobby and sells them for $15. I did a little hunting around on the web and the people that bought his calls seemed to really like them. Now that I have played around with the call, I would say it is safe to assume that those people are deaf. The call sounds just awful. It is a nice looking box, so I figure that I will see if I cannot tune it and get some beautiful music out of her.

Thanks again for your suggestions guys. Hopefully I will be using one of those custom boxes that lostinstateforest and yungbuck suggested next year. I checked out both of the sites you guys suggested and they sure have some nice calls. Just a little out of my price range this year.

I have a small collection of custom made box calls. I like them because I don't sound like everyone who shops at the box stores or buys the main brands

Straight creek aluminum over slate pot call

All of them have there own sound and it is so much better than the box store calls I have
