Lots of good slate and glass pot call (that's what they call those round calls that use a striker). As important as the call itself is the striker. They come in wood, plastic and all sorts of other materials. Each striker can make a call sound different, and I mean different by a whole bunch. Even strikers that look alike and made with the same material (hickory for example) can sound totally different when used. I think the best thing is buy a couple of well known slate or glass call as well at three of four strikers and then get a DVD of folks showing you how to use and and practice like crazy. I think slate/glass pot calls work real well for Eastern Turkey's. However if you are hunting out in the Midwest and chasing Rio's, IMO you will have better luck with a box call. Wind always blows out that way and you need volume IMO. I think Primo's makes consistent sounding calls over all. I think their Power Crystal is a very consistent and rather cheap call and most folks can use well. I've had one for years and they just plain work imo.
