Rick wrote:The current trend here is using the top reed from a DR-85 (whatever thickness that is) in Chien Cailles or any other Olt gutted call, and you should hear a buddy of mine get down low on one. I've always just used a standard duck reed and get plenty of finesse, but I'm walking a mighty thin back pressure line and have a hard time swapping calls without blips. Now with the (big gutted) Lares back pressure is such a non issue that going to other big gutted calls can cause back pressure issues. Super finesse call, but no volume.

Rick wrote:Easiest running speck call I've used, which is over the two dozen mark now. If there's a rub beyond not getting loud, it's the flip side of the Murphy proof field stripping design. The toneboard, reed and wedge all bottom out in the insert, so you could take it apart and put it back together again in the dark without changing the tuning, but that also means changing the tuning is a touchier, more permanent proposition than with traditional speck call designs. (Understand Redbone has now gone to something similar, only with lugs on the toneboard for reed stops.) Rather than shifting reed, toneboard and wedge alignments, you can only alter tuning by trimming the reed or altering the toneboard. I've done the later with a spare toneboard ($25 per, so experiment with care) and have mine more dead on a wider range of the real deal than any one call I've owned and with minimal effort and attention to back pressure. But it won't get remotely as loud as a Riceland.

Is the wedge adjustable? As far as being able to lenghten the reed via sliding the wedge back a little?
Thanks for the infoRick wrote:Tried one of the earlier Lares speck calls but it was so long ago I couldn't swear to its design. Think it was actually field adjustable, know I thought it mighty weak. Pretty sure this design, which Ken White reportedly helped with, is all new, aside from the general external appearance.

Most of them are from Gary Perinar at Committed Custom Calls. I'm hesitant to hunt them now since Garys not making calls anymore.

i had him make a call for me and for jr about 3 years ago, both out of lignum vitea, don't rely on a call like you all do down there as the birds are small groups and fresh, but damn, a few quacks here and there bring them in like on a stringRickC wrote:jehler wrote:i have a couple of Gary's calls, is alright Rick?

Yeah, the first one I won on an auction Gary was putting on on support of a youth group. It was an original that I put om a shelf and didn't really mess with it to much. Tje next season I started using it and man, ducks were loving it and after that it didnt come off the lanyard.
I'd decided that I wasn't really into collecting calls to fill IP shelves so pretty much sold off all my calls and started picking up more of his when I could.
Gary's one of the nicest guys and as a call maker is ws driven to make nothing but calls that brought the birds to gun. That and his customer service was nothing but excellent.
I sure hope he's not out of the making for good.
