8 Best Turkey Calls

Key Specs

• Material: Sapele body and Purpleheart striking paddle
• Call Type: Box

Primos is known for its quality turkey calls and products, so it came as no surprise to me that I found this call to be one of my favorites. It’s made from premium hardwoods (a Sapele body and a Purpleheart striking paddle), and its tones range from soft yelps to a variety of mid-tone and loud, resonating yelps. I found the two cut-out thumb grooves ideal for positioning the call for different sounds. When I cannot seem to get a response from any other turkey call in my vest, I can usually get one from the Gabriel.

Key Specs

• Material: Walnut and cherry wood laminate, diamond wood striker
• Call Type: Slate/pot

Glass-surface calls are often the most challenging pot calls to get consistent sounds from, especially for those new to pot calls. I was surprised by how easy this glass call was to use. After roughening the surface with a pumice stone, I was able to make the perfect yelps and cuts using the diamond wood striker. The call is lightweight (about 5 ounces) and sits well in your hand. The walnut and cherry wood laminate is attractive, and the Dixie Hen inlaid photo makes this a beautiful call.
