The maker of these Competition Grade custom duck calls is Gary Thomas. Gary has been making wooden custom duck calls mostly of cocobolo and osage orange approximately twenty years. He started making custom duck calls as hobby, inspired by his father and a love of the sport of duck hunting. These custom made duck calls are Single Reed Arkansas Style custom Duck Calls and come with a pinned brass band.

Over the years, Gary has perfected his custom duck calls and now produces a Competition Grade Open Water custom Duck Call in wood or acrylic. These custom made duck calls can call very softly to produce the lowest quacks, or you can use this custom made duck call to produce the loud, clear, ringing tones of the highball.

For duck calling in the timber, Gary produces a shorter, softer sounding custom made duck call that has plenty of rasp like "Old Susie" herself. Each custom made duck call can be tailored to the demands of individual duck hunters and is guaranteed in workmanship for the life of the original owner.
