by the way the bulb comes off the end of this call and you can use it like a closed reed call.. Actually be careful when using it as a bulb squeaker and night that you don't loose the bulb off of the plastic sleeve. I was actually going to put a plastic tie and the end of the bulb and the plastic so I wouldn't slip off.. Found out it took some of the pitch away... So  just be careful you don't lose the rubber part... If you do still use it as an open reed call and it makes excellent high pitch cottontail rabbit sounds...

I made a pretty bad a*s call for competition.
Buckwheat, you sure did. I recall ordering a few calls and you asked, 'what kind of wood do you want me to use.' I said, 'I just want the best sound possible, and don't care what kind of wood you use.' In any event, they held up over the years and produced a ton of fur. Still don't know what wood those calls are crafted from and really don't care...lol.

I want to add a rodent squeaker to the mix, it's the only call i do not have.  I mainly use diaphragms and closed reed distress calls.  What should i look for as far as types of materials or the best place to purchase one?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also like the primos bulb squeeker.  I use 2 at a time often to give the single then duet affect.  I just put them in my pocket and squeak them while still in my pocket.

Primos,   Quakerboy, and Knight and Hale make excellent bulb squeakers! I got some K & H on www.amazon.com for $5.00.
They are a quality call and for $5.00 you just can't beat it! Always check out Amazon for your outdoor needs. I even get my Crit R Calls there and you get a good deal on ghost blinds and Caldwell products too!

Got one today at the Altoona sports show that looks like that. Not sure if it was the same vender but I saw it and remembered you post and thought why not.

if it has a green plastic attachment to the bulb it's it.. Was it an old couple that were selling it.. Watch at night you don't lose the bulb. hold the plastic and bulb all at the same time.. I have taken the bulb  off and I use it as an closed reed call. it does make excellent baby cottontail distress. However in this cold weather voice channel can freeze. However that can happen with most closed reed calls that have a metal voice channel.. now if the voice channels are plastic in the closed reed call they will work in cold weather.. As you know your spit freezes when it comes in contact with the metal voice channels.. that's why every caller should learn how to use an open reed call... One of the best would be the Crit-R-Call Peewee!! The Primos LIL DOGS are excellent open reed calls for beginners..
