I only have one closed reed call that I use in the winter.
-39F this morning and it is working fine. Of course if I take it outside it may not work as well.
If anyone has put the closed reed to the cold weather challenge, it is me. It gets bone chilling cold here.
I have tried lots and lots of closed reeds. They are quick and easy, two qualities I find attractive in women and coyote calls.
The age old problem is freezing up or worse trying to keep them from freezing up without being too animated. I'm talking about the calls now.
I have found one closed reed call that doesn't freeze. The bonus is it's everything I look for in a call. Loud, raspy, easy to blow, bulletproof and as a bonus, easy on the eyes.
I got it from a custom call maker on this board. He didn't represent it as freezeproof and may have not even known that it was. I have no idea why it hasn't frozen up yet and can only guess.
I like the custom calls with the bells, turned thin. The walls of this call are thick. I would say very thick compared to my other calls. I don't know if that is why it works in the cold, I just know it is one of the calls on my "winter? lanyard and it is the only closed reed call I use anytime.
