No sir they both retail $150 for acrylic IF you can find one right now. Thank you for the positive feedback on the calling! I hope the video was helpful!

It was a good time for sure buddy !! Thanks!!

Thanks bud!! Man from what we’ve seen, the bream aren’t quite big enough to keep. On opening day my buddy actually bream fished a good bit and most were either too small to get on the hook or not big enough to eat.

Gotcha . Appreciate the info

@@MrCMR901 you’re welcome!

You can run a big motor

Thank you! God bless you too!!

It makes a huge difference in bites and hook ups on the c-rig! Did that old man happen to be Roger Stegall?

No Jerry Dunn

@@philliphill4901 got ya. I believe Roger Stegall is who I learned it from and I’ve been doing it ever since with awesome results!

Absolutely man!

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

Thanks bud!

Thanks brother!!

We do need to get together and go bud!!

Thanks bud!!! Please comment on my latest Instagram post so that I can keep up with the entries for the giveaway in one location. Thanks for the follow!! Subscribed to your KZfaq and followed you on Instagram as well!

Thanks bud that means a lot!! Yes sir, I enjoy watching Nordby too!! I fish the Henderson County King of Lakes Trail. We fish several lakes in the Lexington, TN area and last year we had some tournaments on the TN river as well.

I'm not sure where Crossville is, but if it's within driving distance of the Lexington area, we'd love to have you bud!!

@@f5outdoors956 I’m about half way between Nashville and Knoxville right on I40. Lexington would be a bit far but heck what else have I got to do. lol 😂

@@f5outdoors956 Kevin if you ever fish Watts Bar let me know. I’d love to meet you in person and maybe throw a cricket with you. I know a great number of spots on this lake.

​@jameslovelace8958 lol yeah, that's a good ways bud!

Thank you sir! Beech is in Lexington, TN.

It's in Lexington, TN

That's awesome man! I'm glad it helped! They're both excellent calls!!

Yep, I agree. I've always said the lares hybrid is the closest thing you'll get to having both a j frame or a cut down in the same call!

@@f5outdoors956 I know guys that run a .38 in their calls.

Thanks dude!! We sure enjoyed fishin with y'all!!

I believe it was the bear tooth woods website

Thanks brother!

About 17 years now lol. Thanks bud!!

Glad I could help bud!! That was the stock reed that came with the call from RNT. They typically come with a couple of extras so you can have some room to play with a couple of different reeds.

Thank you. I wish I could get a wood mondo 2b. Do you know of one out there? Have they made one in wood?

@@chrisshupe5427 I think there were some 2b mondos made in grandillo wood or whatever its called, but I'm not 100% positive on that

If I had to pick between the 2, I'd lean more towards the lares only because it has a little more range of both tone and volume. The archangel is a little easier to blow and sounds awesome to me as well though. They're both awesome calls!

Thank you!

Nice!!

What size reed do you prefer? (I think stock is 1.350)

@@toddnmichelle I think I went to a little longer with the hybrid. So I could get some rasp when I growl. Jj calls don’t like my growl but I adjusted. I think I did 1.37

@@ReefMimic okay thanks. I just got my first hybrid and I can’t make it sound good at all. I primarily use a Hobo ICU2 and a Hobo Prime Meat. It seems like it wants way more air than my lungs have. I ordered a couple shorter reeds to see if that helps

I don't call that hard at ducks. I keep it simple and don't over call when working ducks. I was just running this call hard to show its potential.

You're welcome!! I'm glad I could help! Yeah, the cut downs are totally different from j frame calls and I was a little shocked the first time I tried a cut down as well! I didn't care for them at first honestly. I hope trimming your reed helps you out bud!

I love the hybrids and mag hens! I'm a fan of the t1 too!! Yes sir, he will definitely go down in history as one of, if not the best call maker to ever live!

I've heard the same thing, but I haven't seen any and neither has anyone else that I know personally. We all fish and hunt the bottoms around there a good bit.

They all come stock with a 1.350.

Thanks bud!! Hopefully we'll have a good hunt to upload next week!

Thank you! It is a great call. Truth be told, I traded that call before I did the video on my 21/22 lanyard I think. I have another Archangel in a different color now though. When I traded the one in this video, I knew I made a mistake lol.

@@f5outdoors956 hey don’t feel bad because I’ve had same type regrets letting good women and guitars go Only to kick myself knowing I made a mistake then wishing I had them back haha.

@Plaidcladcanuck lol!!! I know what you mean! I was blessed enough to keep the right woman. But definitely gotten rid of some awesome duck calls and guitars!

@@f5outdoors956 if you have a good gal amigo, treat her right and don’t ever take her for granted.

@@f5outdoors956 so if you were experienced on a J frame and could only have one cut down to get you going as the position I’m in, what call might that be. I have to get one, even tho I might not like this style of call but I just know I have to at least try one out

Thanks man! Yes sir, that 2B sounds super sexy in the woods!

@@f5outdoors956 I bet it does. We’re gunning big water up here and I’ve been getting lazy blowing acrylic double reeds up until I spoke with William at RNT this week and have an Original single Reed on its way up here. I certainly asked him about a mondo because I absolutely love the grit and raspiness off them from listening to videos and he said he has a tough time with them so I hesitated and didn’t order one but sitting here now knowing it cost me $35USD to have that one call mailed up here to Canada, I’m wishing I had ordered a cut down also because even if it turns out I don’t get along with it, I’ll at least then know haha

@Plaidcladcanuck the RNT original is actually a very good open water call and I do recommend it for sure!! The cut down calls can be hit or miss because some of them take a huge amount of air pressure to drive them, no matter how you tune them. The original is easier to run and can be tuned to your liking a little easier. Like we talked about before though, the 2B is a very controllable cut down and has great tone!

Thanks bud!! Man it's hard to say which one I like better. I'd give the hybrid a slight advantage for me personally though. It has a little better range of tone. But the 2B is very ducky and easy to run for a cut down too. But if you're looking for a true cut down style call, I'd go with the 2B for sure.

Awesome man! I'm glad the video could help you out!!

Sorry about that man. It has gotten really tough for sure. It used to be an amazing place to fish!

Where they were in the beginning of the video, I caught a 6lb bass from the land *i have permission from the owner tho*

Thanks man! I thought it was the best one for me too.

Heck yeah bud! He's actually been on the world stage in Stuttgart last year.
