Please buy me one of those JJ Lares calls... if I get it to stick I won't pay you back.. if it doesn't stick I'll pay you double. I can guarantee they will stick, freeze and do all the other crappy things all the great calls out there do...
The call will eject spit so it doesn't load up like other calls. But if you have a mouth full of chew,coffee,donut and carmel well duh!! There are some great calls out there that aren't Lares.. I really like the C&S custom Preacher, Zink Xr-2,Zink PH-1,RNT Short Barrel,RNT MicroHen and the Echo Timber..BUT it always seemed like I only liked the way they sounded with a really fresh cork.A few days would go by then I would pull the call out and it just wasn't the same. I got over the cork call thing and I switched to all corkless calls. No cork changing in a Lares.. So there is one crappy thing that these great calls wont do...No change in pitch from dry cork!
I'm not up for buyng anyone a call but must say that my Lares has served me well for over a decade now and i have had thoughts of buying a zink to replace it but it still works good. and yes like any fine tuned instrument you can screw it up through negligence.
