H.S. Strut Raspy Old Hen Turkey Call

Glass surfaces are known for their versatility. They provide a medium-to-high friction surface that allows you to produce both soft, subtle yelps for close-range calling and loud, aggressive cuts to reach out to distant gobblers.

Like most strikers, the carbon tip will perform best if kept clean and conditioned. You should periodically use a conditioning pad or fine-grit sandpaper to roughen the surface of the striker tip and the glass pan to ensure consistent friction and sound quality.

The double-split top reed is designed to create extra rasp and volume. This specific cut helps mimic the deeper, more mature vocalizations of an older hen, which can be particularly effective when trying to trigger a response from a stubborn tom.

While the pan call is very intuitive and beginner-friendly, the diaphragm call does require a learning curve to master proper tongue placement and air control. It is a great kit for someone looking to grow their skills, but be prepared to practice with the diaphragm call before taking it into the field.

Yes, you can experiment with other strikers, such as wood or acrylic, to change the tone and pitch of the call. However, the included carbon striker is specifically matched to the glass surface to provide a sharp, crisp sound right out of the box.
