Post by: Sportfury on January 30, 2010, 07:09:05 AM: I found this site where a guy had made a homemade e-caller looks pretty neat. Check it out.

In the 8 years since that was posted the prices on remote E-calls has come way down.

But these are fun projects and for what it is worth....A few years ago I looked for weeks for that flashlight with saddle bags, but it was sold out and discontinued.

As soon as a small reliable remote unit became available I switched to it. With remote units priced $100-$200 it isn't even cost effective to build your own anymore.
