ROY RHODES DUCK CALL
Once again, Roy Rhodes has created a masterpiece, a single-reed duck call that blows wet. The Duck Slayer has a unique in-line groove system placed in strategic spots along the tone board to prevent sticking. These grooves are deep enough to allow air pockets to form under the reed to prevent sticking due to moisture buildup. The Duck Slayer is made from a durable polycarbonate plastic, with a wide brass band for beauty and endurance. It retails for $38.
Roy's Championship Open Water Duck Calls come "competition ready" with an outstanding high end and a low end that ducks can't resist. Roy designed these calls to be used anywhere a loud call is needed, especially around other hunters or ducks. Retail price is $40.
Available in two color choices, Roy's Championship Huntin' Buddy Duck Calls are the first calls ever designed for "call-shy" ducks. The Huntin' Buddy is half as loud as Roy's Open Water calls, making them ideal for hunting where a loud call will echo. These calls are perfect for late-season ducks in timber or anywhere that a louder call might spook ducks. The calls retail for $40.

Knight and Hale Double Cluck Plus
KNIGHT & HALE
Duck calls come in single- and double-reed and create a variety of duck sounds, from the simple "quack" to the feeding chuckle to complex hail and come-back calls. Single-reed calls usually produce more volume than double-reeds, but double-reed calls often produce a "thicker," more realistic sound. Knight & Hale features a full line of high-quality waterfowl calls in single- and double-reed models.
The Bachelorette model features the Threadlock system in which both pieces of the call are threaded and screw together, creating an extra-tight seal and preventing unexpected end-piece separation. This Arkansas-style call sports a brand-new design that easily produces raspy, natural calls.
Knight and Hale Bachelorette
Goose calls produce the sounds of Canada, white-fronted and snow geese. Knight & Hale produces the industry standard goose call in the Double-Cluck Plus, which has won the World Goose Calling Championship numerous times. The Double Cluck Plus makes sound on both the exhale and the inhale, allowing for continuous, realistic calling.
Knight & Hale Ultimate Hunting Team member Richie McKnight's signature series hand-turned short-reed clucker features new "worn-in" guts for a more hollow, realistic sound. The smaller end-piece diameter means that it takes very little back pressure to create natural-sounding calls, making for a call that is easier to learn to use. McKnight designed this hand-turned acrylic call for versatility. It can be a contest call or a meat call, and can be blown very loud or made soft for close-in geese. This call has won or placed in five national calling contests. Retail price is $50. Visit their Web site at KinightandHale.com
