Speck Calls

Yes, you can catch fish with a zebco on an ugly stik. But you can catch fish more effectively and more efficiently using better, more technical equipment. Yes, you can kill just as many ducks or geese wearing a $50 hunting coat you bought from Wal mart. But spending the extra money on the nicer clothes are going to allow you to stay warmer and dryer easier and allow you to enjoy your time better and focus more on the hunt than trying to be comfortable.

The saying "you get what you pay for" didn't come about for no reason.

No doubt. Adapt or die. Or in this case, Adapt or watch the guy in the field next to you kill.


Like John said, this mentality isn't uncommon in our line of hobbies (hunting / fishing etc.)


Another good example was when the Alabama-rig came about in the bass fishing world.


If you don't want to use it or think you should be doing what you've had success with in the past, go for it. Just don't hate on others who are trying to continue their learning and not settle for moderate success when they find something new and start crushing.


I just try to remember this when getting opinions/tips from others. If someone is so set on a technique or whatever that they have convinced themselves (and are trying to convince you) that their way is the ONLY or BEST possible way to do this, weather it be hunting or fishing, take it with a grain of salt. Because odds are, that guy has topped out or peaked as far as continuing to learn and become better at whatever it is he does.


Of course there will be constants that are true (geese tend to flare off mojos etc.), but you'll know when you find the guys I speak of.


Just agree with them. That's all you can do.

I agree 100%. Great way of putting it. That's why no matter how good I think I am I will be the first to hop in a blind with someone else. Because they may have something that works better or found a easier way to do something. Never being set and stone on a techineque and you'll learn more then you could possible comprehend.

No doubt. The more people you can hunt (or fish) with, the more you will learn (if that's your goal). I know some folks that want to come just for a free trip and don't really pay attention to what's going on, and I know others that want to come to learn and pick your brain. I have a good friend who came with me countless times, and still doesn't know how to get to the ramp.. And I have others who watch me like a hawk all day and ask a ton of questions wanting to know why I do what I'm doing.
And a lot of times it may be learning what NOT to do. At the end of the day that is still learning.

LOL funny you say that when I take people fishing I tell them I might not teach a whole lot, and you might catch more fish then me but I can sure as hell tell you what not to do and I guess that just narrows down to what is useful lol
