pob Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 It's time to issue my birthday/Christmas wish list and I could do with goose calls for the marsh. Pinkfoot and Canada only. I don't have goose decoys. For Pinkfoot I was thinking of the Haydel's B81. For Canadas, I was thinking of the Buck Gardner Canada Hammer II. I've got a duck call of theirs and it is very easy to use, though I have had to reseat the reeds a couple of times. I'd appreciate any recommendations chaps.

fenboy Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I had a very successful session earlier this week on pinks , there was two of us calling and it was apparent one pinkfoot call perhaps does not cover all situations . I was using a Zink pinkfoot call , this can be blown very loud without jamming and has quite a high pitch , however when the geese had responded and were getting closer a wooden call was much less harsh and had a softer tone , I am not sure what the wooden call was that Tony was using , but I have heard good things about the Eddie Nixon call , the jordan one I have been told is prone to jamming if blown too hard.

v-max Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi when I did a lot of fowling in & around Montrose basin I used a performance fast talker call worked well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 As Fenboy said earlier,when we shot earlier in the week a mixture of calls worked well My call for far off pinks or the attention grabber as I call it is the Haydels B81 Once they get close I like to switch to the softer sounding wooden Olt 800 For a call sort of between the two I also have a Olt L22 Both the Olts are unavailable now but can be found on EBay but a little expensive,especially the 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pob Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks gents. It seems that the choice of the Eddie Nixon for pinks is a no-brainer. Any thoughts on a canada call please? The OLT800 got strong support, but doesn't seem to be generally available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlennox Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Personally I use an Eddie Nixon for pinks, which I think is excellent but you need to give it a bit of pressure and I used a Loham gold for Greylags. The Loham is originally a Canada call that I have shaved myself to get the correct pitch. Not everyone will agree but it's what works for me.

motty Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I use a custom tuned Haydels B81 for pinks. I wouldn't go for the Canada Hammer, they really do take some practise. A Zink power clucker is far easier to use and effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have goose decoys. I'd appreciate any recommendations chaps. I can only echo the thoughts of others on Eddie Nixons call being the best available & he is a great fella to talk to & deal with too. Check out here for info on all his calls Goose and Duck Calls handmade by Eddie Nixon& listen to Tom Sykes try them out. ATB S.G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 For Canada's I use the Haydels H81,this call also makes a good Greylag call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Eddie Nixon Solway Greylag and Pink calls are very good and easy to blow. I use a Buck Gardiner Double Nasty 2 Duck call and it's good but I want a Conducktor duck call for next season. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
