Haha, just make sure not to turn it into a duck squeaker! That might scare them away more than attract! Just a slight bend is all you need.
I’ve had my call for years, and the care tips you’ve all mentioned are spot on! Treat it well, and it’ll reward you on the water.
Has anyone else experienced a call just going silent on them? I once had that happen, and it turned out to be a tiny piece of debris blocking the reed.
That’s a good reminder! Regular cleaning can prevent such frustrating moments in the field.
Also, consider using a protective oil on the reed to keep it from drying out, especially between seasons.
You know, I think many of us might overlook that! Just think of it as giving your call a spa day!
