Dave at kelton Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Any recommendations for a good pinkfoot call? Have lost the reed out of my American call so looking for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thought I'd put it here ... I was in Norfolk on Wednesday and went out for a meal. On returning to our B&B, as my wife got out of the car she suddenly said "Whats that". She had never heard that music coming from the sky before. We stood in the pitch dark for a minute or two and listened. Brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant I never tire of the sight, smell and sounds of the marsh, the skeins calling as they fly out to their feeding grounds in the early morning or as they flight under the moon.......stirs the soul!

moongeese Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I swear by my old OLT L22 , no longer made, but they still come up for sale , If my memory is correct, when Olt stopped production Eddie Nixon started up on his own, as he worked with Olt. I never owned a Sollway Call, but friends used them with me, and they are a very good call. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Solway call is the best one I have! You’ll get an olt 22 on eBay.com cheap enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 There are several calls that will work on pinks. I have found the zink calls very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakin stevens Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Eddie Nixon call probably the best you could buy in the UK, sadly gone now , and if you do see one for sale on the bay , they sell for double the money now .

Heard plenty of shooters shouting at em on the Wash during moon flighting......I reckon it just confuses the geese, rather than attracts em! Lol!
