Question Goose calls

Hey guys, what's the consensus on what's the favorite goose call out there? I've managed to finally make my Hammer2's sound goosey after playing around with them ALOT ( and driving my dog nuts )
I have a Primos flute which I can work ok but wondering if the more expensive 1's on the market are worth it?

I really like my Lynch Mob calls. Easyish to blow and not 200 bucks.

sure we all have our favourites, enjoy the Molt Gear Ex3, great range, short reed, little back pressure and can get it professionally tuned for free annually

Ive got a Winglock short reed. I like the sound, and its fairly easy to blow IMO.

The easiest call I have seen for beginners is the Primusgoose flute but they tend to freeze quickly
I live the Winglock for when I need volume , I can really get it turned up when I need it and it will tone down well too.
Being an ex sax player I find it easy to change registers and bake it " crack".

Zink Money Maker. In all fairness a $30 goose call works great as well. It all depends on the person behind the call.

I still like the sound of wooden calls, but, trying to keep them together seems to be an issue. Constantly found them falling apart. I still have one cheap call I use, but buy them 3 at a time, because they fall apart and I can never find the lost piece.
I tried a few different polycarbonate calls, didn't like them much.
The acrylic calls have been trouble free and sound good, and they are easy to blow. I don't think you can go wrong buying a decent acrylic. There are a lot of them out there. It seems that most of the guys who win the US goose calling contests wind up with making calls down the road. Zink, Lynch Mob, Grounds, Hayes, Winglock, Mann, Riceland, and there are quite a few others, all make good calls.
Then there are about 500 other guys making duck calls.
More a matter of learning how to use them to start with, then go out and pick your flavor.
