The Primos Imperial Plate Double Reed Diaphragm Call delivers authentic elk vocalizations that trigger aggressive responses from mature bulls during peak rut activity. This precision-crafted mouth call produces the raspy, gravelly tones that dominate elk hear as territorial challenges. Advanced hunters rely on diaphragm calls for hands-free operation during critical moments when movement must remain minimal.
What Makes This Different
The Imperial Plate features a unique double reed configuration with strategically positioned cuts that create natural voice breaks and realistic inflection points. Unlike single reed calls that produce monotone sounds, this design generates the complex harmonic variations found in actual elk communication. The red latex construction provides optimal stretch characteristics for consistent tone production across temperature variations.
Key Features
- Double reed latex construction for complex harmonic generation
- Imperial Plate design creates authentic voice breaks and inflection
- Red latex material maintains elasticity in cold weather conditions
- Hands-free operation allows weapon readiness during calling sequences
- Compact profile fits securely in mouth without jaw fatigue
- Produces full range of elk vocalizations from mews to aggressive bugles
- Durable aluminum frame withstands repeated use and moisture exposure
Field performance centers on the call's ability to generate realistic elk sounds that provoke territorial responses from dominant bulls. The double reed system excels during September archery seasons when bulls actively defend breeding areas. Temperature stability ensures consistent performance during early morning hunts when atmospheric conditions fluctuate rapidly. The Imperial Plate configuration specifically targets the frequency ranges that trigger aggressive bull behavior.
