Clean Up Your Calls


Just as you should clean your shotgun regularly, you should clean your duck calls. The reed must be free to vibrate as the manufacturer intended for the best and most realistic calls. The inside of a duck call is a great place for dirt, debris and pocket lint to accumulate. This foreign material is responsible for the call "sticking" or failing to produce the right sounds at the right moments.
Use a crisp, new dollar bill. Pull the call apart and hold the end-piece with the reed, wedge or cork in your left hand. Slide the bill under the reed (or reeds) and draw it through. This will dislodge any unwanted material and dry the call out. The dollar bill won't tear like paper towels, napkins and tissue paper.
Some recommend dental floss, but that's no fun. As you get better and more fond of your call, you may want to start using $5 or $10 dollar bills. Me? I use nothing but $100 bills.
