Timber Double Reed

Designed specifically for close-quarters work in flooded green timber and tight sloughs, this call prioritizes finesse over raw volume. In heavy timber, high-decibel hail calls often bounce off tree trunks and sound artificial, flaring cautious late-season birds. This call targets hunters who understand that once birds are working the canopy, quiet confidence and natural hen realism close the deal far better than sheer power.

The internal double-reed setup provides built-in backpressure that makes controlling your airflow intuitive. It naturally resists squeaking or blowing out when you transition from a gentle greeting call down to soft feeding chuckles and lazy quacks. The call produces a distinctly wet, raspy tone on the bottom end that mimics a contented hen on the water. It carries cleanly on a lanyard, handling typical hunting abuse against boat gunwales and blind frames without losing reed alignment.

Like most double-reed designs, it demands routine moisture clearing during freezing morning hunts to prevent the reeds from sticking together. While you give up the top-end reach and cutting volume needed to break high-migrating flocks over open reservoirs, you gain a remarkably dependable finisher. Against comparable timber-specific calls, it offers a high degree of forgiveness for callers who want realistic duck sound without the touchy operating curve of a high-end single reed.
