What brand of diaphragm calls do you use for Turkey Hunting?

I have been looking at turkey calls online and I really have no idea what is a good brand and which brands to stay away from.
I am currently using a Zink and it's ok. I'm not in love with it.
What are the OB's impressions of Woodhaven calls?
I'm interested to hear what everyone on the board is using.

Tried some Preston Pittman calls last year and they were not very user friendly to me. Tried Primos Limb Hanger and they are small, trimmable, and very easy to call with.
Not an expert by any means, but did limit out last year using the LH call both times. Thats what will be in my mouth come turkey season.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Go buy about 4 or 5 different ones. Everyone will use each a little differently, and it's easier to just find a call that fits the way you play it than it is to try to learn a new call right before the season.
I usually carry 3 or 4. Last year I think I carried 2 Woodhaven, a H.S. Strut, and a flextone. I have about 6 in unopened packs in my closet. I'll probably reuse one of the Woodhavens from last year. It still sounds really good.
I suggest you go get a H.S. Strut Cutting 2.5, a Woodhaven (I don't remember which ones I have, but I know you can get more than one season out of them), and maybe a 3-pack of either flextone, primos or some other brand. You'll end up spending about $5 on the H.S. Strut,$11 on the Woodhaven, and $10-15 on a 3 pack of some other brand. You'll probably find one of them that you can't use. Some just don't work for some people. Throw it in the trash so you aren't tempted to use it. Practice some basic cuts and yelps, and record yourself with your phone from 10-20 ft away. Do this outside if at all possible. Everyone thinks they sound good in the truck or in a home. Things sound different outside.

I like to go try them out like duck calls. Open one up, do some yelps and clucks and see how it fits. If I don't like it, I grab another. You go thru enough you'll find one or two you like.

Legacy is where it's at. I have blown a ton of diaphragm calls. The Legacy's are a little more pricey, but totally worth it.
They take very little air to blow, and there isn't really a break-in period for them. Because they take so little air, you can be very quiet with them. Huge advantage.
