Looking to trade a burnt hedge Watkins Swamp Bore. Has a few blimishes from being hunted but is in good shape. Prefer to trade for a DRC, C&S or other smaller name duck or goose call. Single reeds only.

I feel like I should try to blow a single reed some day- I never have. Hunting the coastal bays, I have very little need to ever call, but will occasionally mess with my double reed. Easy to run and sounds good, just not much call for it.

(Sorry for the hijack)

I have a DRC sudden stop single reed. Near perfect condition. Got any pics?

When Iused to hunt out of Venice and Katy, I never used a mallard call. It always spooked the ducks.

For me, it takes such a little amount of air to blow, I can't do much on it. I thought it was the call until my friend proved me wrong. I have been using a BG Spitfire for so long now, it's hard to use anything else. That topped with the fact I'm no caller.

Is it a high pitched call? Looks like it would be due to the size.

I would say no. Pretty soft IMO. I can send it to you if you want and you can decide if you want it or not.

Unless you bought that new, there is a pretty good chance I owned that call.
