The Haydel's DR85 Double Reed delivers authentic mallard sounds that bring ducks within range when traditional single reed calls fall short. This open-reed design produces the raspy hen mallard tones that experienced waterfowlers rely on during late season hunts when pressured birds demand realistic calling.
What Makes This Different
The double reed configuration creates natural back-pressure that automatically modulates tone and volume without requiring advanced calling techniques. Unlike single reed calls that demand precise air control, the DR85's dual reed system produces authentic mallard chatter, feeding calls, and comeback sequences with consistent results. The open design eliminates reed sticking issues common in enclosed calls during cold weather hunts.Key Features
