Tube call latex?

Post by Southern Sportsman »

Where do yall get latex for your tube calls? I started running a tube last year, and really liked it. Now I just need replacement reeds. Surely there is a cheap way to acquire thin latex.

Thanks

I actually do use condoms on my Morgan. Been doing it that way for 20+ years. Kenny said use condoms on his call...I use condoms. Pioneer sells "tube call" latex in different thicknesses. It's all too thick for my liking. If you go the condom route, I'd highly recommend non lubricated :lol:

You use the ribbed ones you get at the truck stops or the glow in the dark ones so they are easy to find at first light? :D

Midwest Turkey Call has tube call diaphragms from several different manufacturer's if you don't want to buy condoms in volume usually 3 or 12 packs. Cut the condoms w/ really sharp scissors larger than you think it needs to be, dust w/ talc or baby powder and put in a film case or pill bottle. The non-lubricated can be hard to find and you might need to buy lubricated, wash them off and let them dry. If the neighbors see them drying, they will think that your a real stud, the cheapest SOB in town, or both!!

I took fatmo's comments as tongue in cheek, in which case it is funny.

And Camoman has generously offered to send me some latex. (not in condom form presumably). Now I dont have to explain to my wife why i'm buying magnum condoms. :blackeye:

All jokes aside(lol), I use Thera-band latex. It is used in the physical therapy field. Got mine on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0027AMZ ... and+yellow

Fatmo wrote:Sorry, Southern. Just having alittle fun. Yes, if you run out I have some also and would be glad to help you out. Most call makers buy it in a roll and if you ask, they would most likely sell you some or give it to you. Also on some tubes, latex gloves work. 100% Condom Free!
Dont apologize to me. I got a pretty good laugh out of it.

How did I know this one was gonna get a little sideways? :lol:
SS, I've run thicker latex on my Morgan, but the proph is much better. It may just be that style tube, I don't know. I'd at least try the prophylactic. Thicker latexes just don't cut it on my calls. Buy and try a few different thicknesses and see what ya like :thumbup:

Yeah, I kinda saw that coming, but figured I could get both useful information and a good laugh. I was right.

Might be real handy to have a couple of those condoms in case the farmers daughter happens to come by the turkey blind for a visit.................. :o
