Product Review-Primos Duck Call

Before the Sept. duck hunting season opener rolled around this last fall i decided to try out some new duck calls.  My old call was pretty well destroyed from years of rolling around on the truck dash, being dropped into ponds, and getting full of mud, blood, and snow.  Plus i just like buying new gear!!  So i went into Bass Pro Shops http://www.basspro.com/ and bought a P.H.A.T (pretty hot and tempting) Lady, Single Reed, Arkansas style mallard call made by Primos Hunting Calls http://www.primos.com/

Now normally iam a double reed duck call kinda guy but i decided i would give this single reed a try just for fun.  Well i have to say i was very disapointed with this call, i like the primos team and have lots of their gear as well as some of their elk calls, but this duck call just doesnt cut it.  First of all the quality of sound is just not there (although this could be because iam used to double reed calls and they sound better...??) and second of all and most importantly the reed STICKS!!  I blew this call for 45 seconds to a minute inside a warm house and the reed stuck!  Not just for a second ether iam talking stuck good.  Now i understand that some calls need to be tuned more than others but as far as iam concerned if it sticks right of the box i dont want it!  I have purchased many duck calls over the years including some of my first which came from wal-mart and cost only $6.99, but this is by far the worst one yet!  I know for a fact i will never use this call in the field and if anyone did they would most likely just be continually frustrated.  There is nothing worse than spotting some low flying greenhead mallards winging towards your spread and you raise your call to your lips and blow and nothing happens because the reed is stuck!!  Hunting is not about frustration its about enjoying yourself and hopefully being successful, the last thing a hunter needs is a crappy duck call.  So that is why i am posting this review, i know most reviews are at least partially good but i felt the need to share with all hunters that this call is not worth your hard earned money.  So thanks for reading and stay tuned for some good call reviews!
