Single VS Double Reed Duck Call - Which is Better for Beginners?

[@caseycasey1277]

Skip to 6 minutes for his recommendation. Spoiler alert: double reed for beginners

[@thomasgumersell9607]

I use a combination of single and double reed calls. Brands vary from Lohman, Primos, Mossy Oak etc. . I prefer Knight and Hale for Goose calls though. I honestly go into a store, I ask first, but I open each call and try it in the store, I do a variety of calls to determine which sounds the raspiess, most natural without squaking or I call it blowing over. I must stress that the most important thing is, " PRACTICE ", and then more practice. To the point your better half or parents are asking you to go outside and call. Calling comes from the diagram and it helps to say certain words to help produce the correct sounds. Words like, " duga, duga, duga" to create the feeding chuckle. " Gweet, Gweet, Gweet " for a hen on the water etc. If you can find ducks in a park setting or a farm go and watch and listen to them. Then call to them and imitate the cadance, sound the ducks make.. For young or first time callers try a few different ones ssk the store if you can try them out before purchasing one in the store. A double reed is more forgiving but you will have to make minor adjustments on the reeds sometimes. Get one call practice until you are sounding good then practice alot more. Lol ! Good luck ! Bobby I hope you might do a video on basic calling and words to use to help your enthusiast first time waterfowlers. Keep up the great videos I enjoy watching each and every one.

+Tom Gumersell I️ agree using certain words helps

[@SaurianKing77]

I like Sean Mann calls for geese. The eastern shore man flute style is a great call imo. But I also can’t run a short reed goose call to save my life lol

[@chriscosby51]

I started with and still blow a Duck Commander duck picker together with an original Commander plus if I'm after teal there's that too. Always been able to use a double Reed better. But I'm a turkey caller more so than a duck caller. Thanks for the info! Always good to see a notification.

[@peterschrauben6092]

Just got a Duck Picker as a gift for my first duck call! I love mine as well! Easy to blow and just amazing!

[@bradytyler1224]

I've used calls from zink rnt echo and foiles but my favorite has gotta be molt gear. They're a fairly small company but they make the best sounding calls I've ever heard

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Brady Tyler yep I️ agree

[@tonydulac4344]

I know there goose calls rock

[@blaynemurley7551]

Single reeds are hard to blow but can be good for open water but double reeds are forgiving but they also have good tone and sound to them

[@FreedomGraphicsLLC]

Seriously been waiting all day for fowl friday video! Out in my garage watching your vid while smoking teriyaki goose breast for dinner.

[@Fowl_one2]

Brian Gantz sounds good!!

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Brian Gantz ohh daaamn son

[@piercedkoi121]

Bobbyguyfilms I'm really interested in the company that made your single reed duck call, it's sounds great. Do they have a website?

[@kleveronefourthreetwo]

Greatest sound out of your right ear.

[@eduffy4937]

Heard a good one last week: The best call to use is to find a cut corn field, slam in a few mojos, 5dozen silhouettes, and sound like corn.

[@Fowl_one2]

I blow a Buck Gardner double nasty and it works flawlessly. Keep up the great work, we are loving the content!! Great stuff Bobby!!

[@Fowl_one2]

You need some help with the song at the end of you vids though!!!!

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Fowl Mood Outdoors that’s a good ol call!!!

[@owenself5980]

same

[@benfaktor7750]

Hey I blow a double nasty too... well kinda, I made it into a single reed call, sounds way better in my opinion!

[@ryansims8477]

Which Double Nasty do you have? The Double Nasty II, the Double Nasty 3 Diamondwood, Double Nasty 3 Acrylic or the Double Nasty 3 Poly?

[@tstaff25]

My take on double and single reeds is if you learn to blow a single then blowing a double is no problem. Double reeds are easier to blow soft, but if you can learn to blow a single soft that’s the way to go I believe. Remember when deciding between the two; you can blow a loud call soft, but you can’t blow a soft call loud.

[@duckkilleraturservice7070]

Bobbyguyfilms u r fricken awesome and u r my favorite youtuber I told all my friends about you

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Duck Killer at ur service Dang man I️ appreciate it!!

[@calebsimmons9195]

Didn’t miss the sale, and love your videos!

[@superiormango131]

Thanks for making this vid. I am going out tomorrow

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Superior Mango get em!!

[@mattbugg4568]

Don't make a mistake, depends on the type of calling, and area you are hunting. Single reeds are for loud raspy calling so open water, double reeds are forcin close work and soft sounds so like timber or as a closer call. Longer wide bore calls have a lower back end and make more realistic feeding chatter. Metal reeds make more of a tinny sound which works well on refuges where your calling is basically long hails and comeback calls. Etc. Yada Yada yada. There is lots of different calling techniques systems and calls that cater to each type. After you start researching calling and learning different techniques you will find your own style and preferences. I carry 4 mallard calls most times and each is customized for what I want it to sound like. I've changed reeds, corks, plastics, painted the inside of calls, changed tone boards redesigned how corks fit into calls, sanded, buffed, triggered, bent, lipped, calls, reeds, etc.. i have a few go to calls and have built my own cut downs from parts from 3 companies. All this to get 4 calls that have a purpose for hunting. Most calls do one thing well and not five. If it don't quack, purr, feed, hail,and comeback on the right notes you might as well not use a call and make duck sounds with your mouth, and to get those noises right might take a few calls. If you listen to ducks when you are hunting for years you will start to notice that most calls are set about a level too high and make a near enough noise if you really want to dile in ducks its going to take some work.

[@LigmaRustyDonut]

I have yet to blow a single reed I have a homemade wood call that I acquired well before I even started waterfowl hunting.. I Just don't know what call to buy. there are so many good calls out there to choose from

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Jason Miller there’s a bunch now

[@kbbgood]

Wish I would have known which was which? I liked the blue one what ever it was.

[@nathand226]

Blue was a single reed

[@kellythompson1649]

I need a good goose call & double reed duck call. I am a beginner and would be interested in what you offer.

[@nathanbloor2137]

What call is the single reed?

[@llamagaming6917]

Single reed sounds great

[@thedog24633210]

The single reeds sounds crisp & sharp

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+duckcaller agreed

[@macduncan4132]

They are the most realistic

[@derrickhaverstick57]

My first duck call was a duck commander mallard hen

[@abomination0075]

I like the first call 👍

[@mattbugg4568]

Haha love the video as I just got my cut down reeds in the mail. I use a few calls, original double nasty bgc, olt and Perkins D-2, comander 19-- , and a IRV Woodford dd-1, along with a woodie wistle,and a teal breach call. Been thinking about some sea duck calls cause have had a few bunches of sea ducks land in my spread, a great video would be of all the species in the central flyway and what they sound like and which calls to use for them. Cause I have been hunting for 20 years and have turned canvas backs with a mallard call, and landed goldeneye with a real wistle, but what either of those ducks sound like is a mystery

[@chasidyvanderhoof]

I love Single reeds on windy days. Double if I want to be quiet. Get video 😊

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+GirlsHuntToo Vlogs good point

[@macduncan4132]

??? Single can be quiet...you get the duckies sounds off a single reed!!!

[@chasidyvanderhoof]

Yes you do. I love my single reed.

[@joeyjohnson7998]

I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner but I wouldn’t say I’m any good, I have duck commander calls and decoy ducks perfectly fine, you don’t have to have good calls to get ducks, my calls were 25 bucks

[@coletousignant2622]

I think that girl that one the pumpkin deal traced it ice seen the same picture on google

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Great vid Bobby Smile More God Bless Stay Safe Guys 👍

[@starsnstripesoutdoors5989]

Are Duck Commander calls any good? Haven’t tried them yet.

[@nathand226]

Not bad but the reeds get stuck together on the cheaper ones

[@andrewn.5117]

I feel like the “ double reed for beginners” is just a way to sell more calls. Go ahead and spend the 100-150 and get you a good acrylic single reed

[@patrickstanley489]

Let me and my buddy come hunt with you this season! We in north east KS we can drive !

[@Jwynn_23]

Tim Grounds double reeds are great calls

[@mallardslayer5763]

The single reed duck call os better I usually use double but singles are better

[@houisbabineau3807]

Bobby have you ever heard about a call company called Garrett game calls (GGC)? He's out of Columbus Nebraska, go check him out on Facebook

[@landingohunts5447]

Good job bobsters

[@blakeneumann8703]

When is the boat video coming up

[@trevorhoyle6647]

Whats the name of the single reed that you used in this vid?

[@owenself5980]

love the videos keep them coming

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Owen Self will do

[@gavindrye3815]

Don’t duck hunt but I want to get started what gun should I get for $1200 or less ?

[@johnnydavis6864]

Gavin Drye Bobby has a Franchi, I️ thinks that’s how you spell it, but I️ researched for about 6 months and ended up getting the benelli Super Vinci, I️ haven’t used it yet but it’s a great fun, only down side is if somehow you blow up the barrel you can’t get a replacement. But I️ would stick with benelli, beretta or franchi. I️ got my super Vinci for 1000, but it was on sale. Just get something in your price range and try for a 3.5 inch gun. Hope this helped man

[@gavindrye3815]

Johnny Davis thank man

[@mitcheldebold192]

Browning or Winchester

[@bradytyler1224]

I got a Remington versa max sportsman for like $800 and have used it hard through 4 seasons so far and it's never failed me. I'd check those out if I were you

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Gavin Drye used Benelli SBE 2, or Franchi

[@dylanolsonoutdoors1448]

What’s the name of the new boat?

[@alihater]

I like the double sound more

[@rowdyterry5965]

Double reeds are the best

[@Eric-lu8gm]

Our season in ND is over because everything is freezing up

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Dakota Ducks TV wish we were colder

[@andrewn.5117]

I did better going strait to a single Reed. Was allot easier to blow and get to a point where I had a decent sounding quack

[@johngiles8399]

4:08 is what you’re here for.

[@landingohunts5447]

I use me trombone Mouthpiece when I forget my calls because I always have it in my parents car

[@ginakay7014]

the double reed

[@colecollins7944]

I like single reeds more

[@macduncan4132]

The most realistic duck calls are single reeds.....I timber hunt with a RNT MVP and geez you can call the birds off of a group a mile away.

[@heathkerce7705]

I like a single reed. Yeah you look weird without your glasses

[@sitkaduckhunter435]

Single reed all the way

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

+Duck Hunter ya if you learn it from the get go it’s better

[@sitkaduckhunter435]

BobbyGuyFilms I started on double reed but then moved to single reed and will not go back. Sound is much better in my opinion.

[@Tbum19]

You should learn how to call before you post videos trying to teach others about them.

[@dughole54]

Teach me then, first duck year, its a 7$ single reed call .... should i be trying with a double reed maybe in the 40$ range? or stick with a single? this video just told me I might want to give a double reed a chance for a year

[@tristanboole2404]

You talk way too much in your videos, cut to the chase we only care about the real info

[@justinvl9821]

He’s giving lots of helpful info if u want to complain go make your own or go somewhere else

[@Jacob-ec5rs]

Justin VL u r right he needs to take a breath, I learn soo much from him he’s great
