Worst goose call you own

[Qballs]

What is the worst goose call you own, and why?



Mine is a Knight and Hale Magnum Clucker, had it given to me by my dad, took it out for a friend for his first goose hunt. He tried to blow it a few times, did not work for him at all.
I then tried it, and it was the hardest call I own to just get a cluck out of. That and the plastic has sharp edges and feels like the 19.95 call that it is.

Primos Honky Tonk. Only use it as a turkey locator call now, doesn't even work very well for that. I think I'd have more success using a kazoo in the blind.

[Lonegoose]

I currently like all my calls. But one that I tried that I hated was the Zink PC1

Not going to mention mine. Don't want to hurt some one's feelings or give any one a bad opinion on something they might not have tried.

[Fox_hunter42]

I agree with Fisher, plus I have gotten rid of the ones I didn't like. I have all good calls now. In my opinion

Good answer. What may be crap for you might be the call the guy in the next blind kills the tar outta birds with. Imo, if you can call on one short reed, you can run any short reed. Fit, style, looks, even sound is too subjective to say what the worst call you ever owned is. Should be more like what call didn't WORK for YOU. Again...one man's opinion.

Alright Alright, point taken and agree with. BUT how is saying what's you find to be a terrible call any different than some of the other stuff guys post when they say this trailor is terrible or this choke was horrible or this blind is nothing but crap, etc etc... Saying what goose call you find to be terrible isn't any different is it?

In all honesty though, y'all are right on this one, however, I stand by my assessment of the Honky Tonk

[Qballs]

I guess that it probably more of what I was trying to get across. Not trying to bag on any company. Maybe the topic should be " my least compatible call.

[DSM16428]

In that case, though I like the sound, my least compatible call (s)...for me, would have to be the zink money maker and the little man. The bell shape is hard for me to get a hold of. Even though I have big hands, it just slides around on me and hand placement is the #1 key to good calling.

[Fox_hunter42]

My least compatible call was a CCC, but the new owner loves it, plus it was an awesome looking. I had a Zink SR1 really liked the sound, range and fit was ok. It just broke over to easy for my experience.

Zink PC-1 Poly or a Fowl Language Buzzsaw.

Thats funny that you guys mention the Primos Honkey tonk and the zink pc1 poly because those are the only 2 calls i've bought and i get my balls busted all the time by the other guys i hunt with because I sound horrible. My one buddy took my Honky tonk and said here let me tune that. Yeah now it doesnt work at all. My pc-1 is better than the honkey tonk but i cant seem to get that beginning growl. In the video he talks about the buzz by placing your teeth at the bottom of your bottom row of teeth to bring the back of the tongue up. No can do. So i try to use some voice to get it but i find it harder to break for me that way. Then on the primos video they talk about saying too it. I just get frustrated, should i try to flute call instead of a single reed?

I love the eastern shoremann, great call right there and I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending that call to anyone. BUT, for my money... I'd reach for a short reed and master that first. Even the master of the shoremann, Sean Mann himself, reaches for a short reed first and only grabs for that flute in certain situations. Do yourself a favor, get Bad Grammer or 100% All Goose and a decent goose call (maybe look at Buck Gardner's Workin' Man Calls- and don't let ANYONE touch the tuning!) and practice practice practice practice practice, then take a break and practice practice practice more and more! The only way you get better is to honk, cluck, moan on that sucker as much as you can! There are no shortcuts, just put the time in and you WILL get better. Its only a matter of time!

ZINK NOS, I can run it, but it just doesn't work for me

[Beaver]

Any zink call for me. I have tried the money maker, littleman, pc-1, and the NOS. For some reason I just can't get them to sound good. Will just have to stick with my lynch mobs I guess.

Really? that's enough to do it for you wow......

[DSM16428]

Ok. Let's not turn this into that "other" forum where the hateraide flows like cheap beer fom a dirty tap shall we?

[don835]

I don't own it anymore but years ago Flambeau made a Goose call. It was given to me and I gave it back. Absolutely the worst Goose call I have ever owned.

Murph.

[goosehunter64.]

I don't think any of them were that bad...I just didn't know how to operate them all that well back then. Though, I did have them mastered, to the degree that I was taught.
