The Rolling Thunder DC013CF Brute XL Cutdown delivers aggressive, raspy duck calls that cut through wind and distance to bring mallards within range. This frost acrylic call combines the proven Brute XL sound chamber design with a shortened barrel for enhanced control and faster response.
What Makes This Different
The cutdown design reduces the overall length while maintaining the full-sized sound board and reed system that made the original Brute XL famous among waterfowl hunters. The frost acrylic construction provides superior acoustics compared to wood or polycarbonate calls, producing clearer highs and deeper lows. This shortened profile allows for quicker transitions between calling sequences and reduces fatigue during extended hunting sessions.
Key Features
- Frost acrylic construction for enhanced sound projection and clarity
- Cutdown barrel design maintains full sound chamber performance
- Single reed system tuned specifically for mallard vocalizations
- Shortened 4.5-inch overall length for improved handling
- Aggressive raspy tone cuts through wind and background noise
- Hand-tuned reed assembly for consistent performance
- Lanyard hole for secure attachment to gear
Field testing demonstrates this call's effectiveness across various weather conditions and hunting scenarios. The frost acrylic material resists temperature changes that can affect wooden calls, maintaining consistent tone from pre-dawn setups through late-morning flights. The cutdown design excels in timber hunting where quick, sharp calls are needed to turn birds in tight quarters, while still producing the volume necessary for open-water situations.
