A double-reed, the Double Shot takes less air pressure to blow than a single.
But the insert is polymer, which adds a bit of volume when you need to reach out to tall ducks. The mouthpiece is Osage, so you get the soft sounds of a wood call. The Hybrid Double-Shot is a $65 call built by champion duck and goose caller Field Hudnall and his brother Clay-a tough price to beat if you’re a beginner or intermediate caller looking for affordability. Hybrid gives you better sound coupled with durability.You’re paying $65 for a double-reed built by a world calling champion. The only issue I have had with the LT is that it can freeze up in the cold, but it’s hard to find an acrylic call that won’t. The speed at which you blow a call can sometimes lock up less advanced calls, but you can run the Mondo LT as fast as you want to. But the Mondo LT is also an awesome cutdown if you’re an advanced caller. That’s great for new callers trying to pin down the cadence of a hen mallard. It’s also a great beginner’s call, because you don’t have to pull air from your diaphragm to get it running, you simply blow into it. That means when you go into a feed call it’s easier to run and is raspier. The LT offers more control on the low end and has a bit more “rattle” in it. The Mondo LT (or lite) isn’t quite as loud as the original Mondo, which flooded timber hunters have long used to break down high-flying ducks. If you hunt Arkansas green timber an RNT Mondo-modeled after PS Olt’s D-2-is likely on your lanyard. Based on original Mondo design, but quieter.All you need to do is blow air into the Mondo and add a ducky cadence to get it running. There’s a saliva ejector system built into the call so that your spit won’t build up and cause the reed to lock up. Versatility in the Hybrid means you can get whisper-quiet with it on a prairie mudhole or hit screaming cadences that cut through high winds, key for me here in the Central Flyway come December. That gives a caller the opportunity to unlock new levels of control and range with it, on top of the huge range you get with the standard 1.350 reed. The Hybrid features extremely tight tolerances in its craftsmanship, and also offers different length reeds. The Lares Hybrid is the company’s most popular model because it’s the most versatile in the lineup-a mid-range call that includes some features of the high-end of the Lares A-5 and low-end of the T-1, a timber call. Reed/tone board based on Louisiana-style callįive years ago I started seeing JJ Lares duck calls around the necks of expert duck hunters.It also has the most range out of any duck call on this list. The Hybrid is built so that it rarely (if ever) needs to be tuned.

#Duck sounds how to
Any competent callmaker will be able to hear you blow their call and know how to tweak the reed just right. Try your best to pick a call that syncs with the way you present air into it. Some of the callmakers on this list do use an outside party for components, but many do the work themselves or, at least, came up with call and tone board design.īefore you buy, know that the duck call that works for your blind buddy may not work for you.
There are literally a handful of guys in Texas that mass produce barrels, inserts, and reeds for a significant number of today’s calls. And then, there are so many folks making calls these days, mainly because it’s fairly easy to build an average duck call.
There are a myriad of calls to choose from: woods, acrylics, hybrids, cutdowns, J-frames, single- and double-reeds, Reelfoot-style calls that use a metal reed for more volume. You should always choose a callmaker that can customize the reed to your style of calling as well. But I have found that spending a little more money on a call makes up for my lack of ability and the small amount of time I have to practice. We all present air and use air inflection differently when a duck call comes to our lips, which is fine because there’s no one true way to blow a call correctly. Finding a duck call for your style of calling isn’t easy.
