The Haydel's DC14 Diver Duck Call delivers authentic diver duck vocalizations through precision-engineered black acrylic construction. This open reed call produces the sharp, raspy tones that bluebills, canvasbacks, and redheads respond to during migration periods.
What Makes This Different
Unlike closed reed calls that limit tonal range, the DC14's open reed system allows hunters to manipulate air pressure and tongue position for varied pitch control. The black acrylic barrel amplifies sound projection while resisting moisture absorption that can muffle wooden calls. This design maintains consistent tone quality in wet conditions when diver ducks are most active.
Key Features
- Open reed construction for authentic diver duck vocalizations
- Black acrylic barrel resists moisture and temperature changes
- Compact profile fits easily in blind bags and lanyards
- Produces sharp, raspy tones specific to diving duck species
- Variable pitch control through breath and tongue manipulation

The DC14 excels in late-season conditions when diver ducks become call-shy and require subtle tonal variations. Its open reed design produces the aggressive chatter and feeding calls that trigger responses from wary birds working decoy spreads. The acrylic construction maintains tonal integrity in freezing temperatures where other materials may crack or warp.
