Check out "Call Nutz","Duck Call Trader" on Face Book some amazing custom calls from guys getting into call making and there are some real deals.
Troy Taylor makes a great custom call he's in the Puyallup area. I've got a few of his, he can build it anyway you want it, Competition to small pothole. I also like RMC calls, the Gold digger.
Just like there are many models of cars and truck and some people debate ford vs chevy you'll find that with duck calls. What works for you might not work for me. If you get a call make sure you get extra reeds and cork. Don't be afraid to trim your own reeds. Cork needs to be changed out during the season as it can dry out or the substitute cork which is sanoprene which folks say they can tell the difference if any but doesn't need to be changed. Hint don't ever mess with the original reed that came with the call. Gives you a baseline go back too when you are trimming your own reeds and mark the outside of the reed. Reeds have a "spine" to them and you want to make sure you have the curve facing away from the tone board. Getting it reversed the call can sound like crap.
