The Echo Calls 77802 Open Water delivers authentic mallard sounds that bring ducks into shooting range. This double reed call produces the full range of mallard vocalizations from soft feeding chuckles to aggressive comeback calls. Built with bourbon-colored polycarbonate construction, it withstands harsh wetland conditions while maintaining consistent tone.
What Makes This Different
The double reed system creates natural back-pressure that makes this call easier to blow than single reed designs. The polycarbonate barrel resists cracking in freezing temperatures and won't absorb moisture like wood calls. The bore dimensions are precisely machined to produce the raspy, nasty tone that mature mallards respond to during late season hunts.

Field performance centers on versatility across hunting situations. The call handles everything from quiet water work over decoys to long-range hail calls for passing flights.
