Who uses tube style turkey calls?

[kbetts]

I picked up a magazine the other day that had a great article on tube turkey calls.  Well, by Sunday afternoon, I had turned out two and just about made my lips bleed figuring them out.  What a surprise!  Anyone else make their own?  Pics would be great.

Tough call to master for sure. I still have trouble with mine. I'd like to get it mastered, they are great sounding calls and can produce every turkey sound there is.

Not 1/4 as tough as trying to master a wingbone or trumpet call.

You Tube has demos on how to make and operate a tube call.

I make and use them!

A long time ago when I was kinda new to spring gobbler hunting me and a friend were looking for some new style turkey calls. We called Knight & Hale..can't remember which one we talked to, but he said he had some new calls they were coming out with called Tube calls. He mailed us some of them. Those were the first ones I had ever seen.

We made tube calls out of a pc of PVC and made what was called Snuff Can calls the same way.

I got one from Primos that I can call good on and sounds great.

I can use them, but not good enough to depend on.

 Turkey wing calls are the only calls I've tried I can't use. It would take me a whole lot of practice on those.

I don't make them , but use um. From what you describing, your blowing into the call/reed. Try huffing the air from your diaphragm across the reed. Don't be afraid to fool with the latex too. You want it tight with a crinkle too it. I hope this helps

We use to make them out of 35 millimeter film canisters and latex gloves.

They work well but take practice. I haven't found latex lately but will try the glove thing, great idea.

Your local dentist will have some latex . Just ask him/her for dental dam

I'm using a couple of old film canisters and latex.  I'm cutting the latex out of different types of gloves.  I found by cutting a small V notch in one side, the call will make a nice cluck when I add extra air.  Still playing, but I think I'll be able to run it by spring.

Been using one off and on for several years. Got a custom wood one at the NWTF convention in Nashville TN. Heard a seminar by CUZ Strickland. He uses one all the time.

I have used em and some of my turkey hunting buddies have tried them as well years ago.We all ditched them essentially

Definatly not my go to call.I never felt they were as effective and they did not have the authentic true sound of a wild hen turkey IMO.

I am sure some guys have success with them though and maybe are just better at using them than me or my buddies.I feel thiers better and more natural sounding calls though.

I can use as wingbone but have a heck of a time with a tube call. Guess I need to dig one out and get to it.

 Boy the wife is gonna love this LOL
