Default Mallard hen call

I'm thinking of getting a "higher end" mallard call. Even thinking of trying a single reed...what's everyone's favorite call and is you preference single or double reed?

Promos Wench, VTM-90 or DR85.

Man I have blown some of the higher end calls and I just don't like the way they sound. I can't hit the soft notes and manipulate the sounds like I can with a VTM-90, DR85, or Primos Wench.

I do however recommend Lance Chapman with Redemption Game Calls; he makes some really cool custom calls and a hell of a nice guy.

I would love a group next to me blowing a wench. They might kill some early but when a call matters they'll wait til we are done. RNT short barrel , hobo double reeds kick butt for ppl that can drive them. Just gotta know when to call.

For the price, any Haydel or even Primos call is hard to beat.

One of my favorite calls is the Carbon Kwacker by Haydel. Good sound.

Duck Commander Ole Raspy (the old style black one).
Not that they care about calling, but if you must, this is a good one.

I don't care who you are but you can't make a duck listen.
