I have Primos but I don't use the blue reed, just use a diaphram with the tube.  Also, I found another tube (no reed on it) that I use.  If I have a bunch of crap in my pack and space is limited I use the Primos pack bugle, again usually with no reed and just a diaphram.

I use a $5 plastic bat for a bugle.  I have the Primos Terminator and Bugling Bulls bully tube and I like the sound of my bat the best.

You can make your own or adjust one that you purchase.  You have to think hard about how you approach it...

 :yeah:  I do the samething.  I kept the blue reed for my daughter to practice around on though.  She loves trying to call on it and the tube is actually in her toybox last I checked.

A piece of PVC put into Elknut's new Chuckler tube works awesome for extending the range.  You can hear the bugle much more clearly from a much greater distance than without the PVC.  It only needs to go about 1/2-3/4 of the way down into the fat part of the tube.  Unfortunately PVC is heavy and not flexible.  I'll certainly use it when calling at night to locate bulls, though.

 After seeing Joel Turner use this in person and explain how it works, I was convinced.

Another vote for the $3 dollar fatty wiggle ball bat and a roll of camo cloth tape. I call it the canyon blaster. It really reaches out and touches them with a mouth call.

So, your telling me that all I need to do is go out to the shed in the back yard and pick one of the many plastic bats and cut out both ends and use that with the diaphragm?  Love it!

Yes a plastic bat. I like the ones that have a bigger tube the closer it gets to the end of the bat. The strait plastic bats don't sounds as good. Most time I just carry a small grunt tube. Never had much luck sounding like a big older bull. Seems like the bulls will just gather up there cows and take off the opposite way. Got to be small and less threating.
