Gobble shaker calls

Any one own a gobble call....are they all about the same or is any one better than the other? I've seen there's Primos, Quaker Boy, and I think H.S Strut?

Want to pick one up...

I really like the Primos one, that's the one I have in my vest right now; I have used the Quaker Boy one in the past but wasn't that impressed with it. Hope this helps, good luck, Ruth!

Planning to go with Rhino's suggestion and get the primos gobbler call if I can find one.

Yeah, I was leaning towards a Primos...

The one I've been using for the past dozen or so years is the Primos gobbler. The name on it is The Gobbler. I'm on my 3rd one now. I gave my 1st one away to a guide in TX after I gobbled some birds in. He had to have one. I wore out my 2nd one.

I've used a few other gobble calls in the past but to me they didn't sound as good as the Primos. With the Primos you can use your hand to control the pitch. For example if you want to drop the tone of the call while you're shaking it to reproduce the drop in tone of a gobble, you simply close your hand a bit toward the end of your gobble sequence. If you want to just make it sound more like an immature bird no need to bother closing your hand at all. The other added bonus on the Primos call is it has a cap to seal the dome. The main purpose of this is to keep it from making any sounds while it's in your pocket. It also helps to keep dirt off the diaphram inside the call.
