Timber Rattler vs SM Mallard

[williefb]

What's the difference between the two calls?

[IowaMigr8tor]

Depends on how you set them up. First the SMM is a Single reed intended to be used on open water hunting. Where as the the TR comes in either single or double reed and is designed to be used everywhere. The SMM has more of a flare on the instert than the TR has. Both calls are great though. I have a SMM now and have a TR on layaway, both of them sound so ducky that it isn't even funny!

[kingkilla]

i have a double reed timber rattler and just love it. i highly recommend it. and iowamigr8tor do you really need a timber rattler to go along with your SMM. hehehe

[migrator00]

I would highly suggest buying a TR double to add to your lanyard. It's a very versatile call that pulls 'em into your face. You never know what those greenheads are gonna wanna hear from day to day and having the SMM and the TR doubles your chances for success!

[IowaMigr8tor]

Kingkilla you know I NEED a TR around my neck too! Ha!

[kingkilla]

hopfully it has a good number. hehehehe

[IowaMigr8tor]

Oh it does! :wink: Ha!

[SMOKE]

You can never have enough calls :lol:

[IowaMigr8tor]

Try explaining that to my mom who doesn't know anything about waterfowling! LOL! Except for when I come home and cook goose it makes the house smell! LOL! She doesn't mind duck though.

[SMOKE]

haha same here man. mom asked me y i needed a 5 drop lanyard and i just smiled :D

[IowaMigr8tor]

I am gettin to the point where I need another lanyard. One for Duck and One for Goose. Prolly have two lanyards by next year :lol: .

[SMOKE]

right now im thinkin im gonna end up with just 5 calls but i may go for 6 and get a bolen 6 dropper. dont know if ill get a tundra saver or market for number 6 but i plan on the current lanyard bein my grinder and legend and then addin smm smh and TR.

[IowaMigr8tor]

Picked the Timber Rattler up tonight! Black/Ivory! I'm gunna have Foiles change the reed to a double at the Iowa State Callin Comp. It sounds good now but I cant wait to hear it in a double!

[Max4Gooser]

Smoke, you need 7 the Meat Cutter sounds awsome, and will often work when nothing else will.

[SMOKE]

haha man i dunno if anyone makes a 7 dropper and i honestly dont know if i can blow a flute lol. i tried with them junk primos calls and just for grins the other day picked up the flute i had and couldnt make a sound out of it :shock:. im gonna have to sell my truck lol to afford 7 calls :lol:

[Max4Gooser]

Trust me you can blow a Meat Cutter, they are awsome. & calls and a few bands, and you will look like a rural version of Mr. T :lol: :lol: :lol:

[SMOKE]

IM NOT CUTTIN MY HAIR INTO A MO HAWK!!!!!!!!!

[IowaMigr8tor]

The cheap calls don't give flutes justice. The meatcutter is the ****!

[SMOKE]

Ok maybe ill get a meat cutter......there goes the truck.......

[cutem268]

got an avery with 8 on it. too much, id rather have 2 or 3 lanyards

[SMOKE]

THEY MAKE AN 8 DROP :o

[Max4Gooser]

A lot of guys will double their lanyards drops by only using one loop per call, instead of one loop on the barrel one on the insert. Makes a 3 drop a 6 and so forth.

[SMOKE]

LOL in that case i have a 10 drop :lol:

I really like the double loop lanyards for the simple fact you dont have to worry about losin half a call. my calls would stick together horribly and it was a pain to get apart until i chap sticked the insert and barrel hole. Now that i have done that they come apart really easy. dunno bout you guys but id hate to lose half of a smm or smh or any call for that matter.

I like my 5 drop double loop but would like to find a 6 drop double does anyone know where to find one???

[kingkilla]

i also like using both the drops for one call, because i really dont want to loose a $70 mouth piece, or a $70 insert.

[Jclasen0124]

i agree with you killa. Has anyone out there ever used muddy dog lanyards?? they're making me one as we speak!

[SMOKE]

Im pretty sure both Spence and Kelly have them.

[Eshorehunter]

Both of the calls are excellent for all situations but when I picked up the TR I feel in love with it.
