Best Box Call and Best Slate Call

[esox49]

What is everyone's best / most productive Box call and Slate call? I am no good at the mouth calls so I was just curious about the other calls. Thanks

The Lil' Heartbreaker by Primos. Best box call I've ever had and will not go into the woods without. I've had some others and custom box call. Nothing has been as good as this one. You will get hundred different opinions on this. What ever you feel is working and sounds good to you. I think you can get the Lil' Heartbreaker for around 47 or 49 at A-l in Hudson.

My two favorites are the Rohm Brothers Box Call and the Cane Creek Custom Acrylic slate call. Both are affordably priced custom calls available thru most specialty turkey hunting catalogs like midwest turkey supply.

I would be interested to hear what other folks are useing as their go-to calls as well.

My go to box is a 25 year old Quaker Boy "Grand Old Master" and I always use my Roberts Bros. glass over slate with a laminated oak Pete's striker.

My 2 cents. They all work but typically everyones favorites are the ones they own!

Primos Freak w/ frictionite and the Lil Heartbreaker are two calls I've had great luck with. I've got about 4 other slates in my pack but I use that Freak about 75% of the time. Lots of great calls on the market today!

My best call is a a penns woods push button that clips under the gun barrel. It has called in 95% of the birds I have killed or called in for other to kill. I did pick up a new quaker boy slate this year and love it thats what I called mine in with.

It's really hard to beat the Lynch Foolproof Turkey Call. For $20 it sounds like a $100 call. I've killed more birds with that call it's definitely my go to.

Grand old master for me as well. Several of the guys I hunt with use them. I also love a slate over glass by Alex Williams. A very sweet call.

I have a Primos Power Crystal(it has been my go to lately), Freak frictionite, a Lights out glss over slate and several others. I really cut back on what I carried in the woods this spring (usually only one slate call).

I usually carry to many strikers along as well. I like the Primos Lucky striker- it has a mushroom tip and made of a laminated wood( it is my go to striker on almost every call), an interesting striker is the Knight and Hale striker with the bondo tip- It works extremely well in damp conditions- especially on the frictionite surface.

I have several box calls and also picked up the new Primos Chick Magnet and I liked the sound of the call but just did not have ideal conditions for the A season hunt(it was the only box call I carried in the woods).

I took a Jake on the 3rd night of my season cutting it short. Now I have to wait until next year.

good topic everyone- Keep up the responses

Good Luck to those of you with tags.

I use the Heartbreaker for my box call and have had good success and the Lil' Heartbreaker is equally good. Have a cheap little slate call the Lil' Deuce II that is my go to call. Have done real well over the years with that. Used a Power Crystal to purr in a hung up gobbler a week ago in Nebraska so I better throw that in the mix as well.
