The Primos Turkey Hunting Waterboard Box Call (PS257) is a highly versatile, dual-hardwood friction call engineered to force loud, realistic turkey vocalizations in any weather environment. Constructed from a select solid mahogany box body paired with a precision-tuned canary wood paddle lid, this call delivers exceptional acoustic depth and crispness. It provides turkey hunters with a reliable, foul-weather solution that cuts through heavy spring downpours and wind alike.
Why It Outperforms the Competition:
Unlike traditional wood box calls that immediately lose their friction coefficient, warp, or go completely silent when exposed to morning dew and rain, the Waterboard features a specialized, scientific waterproof coating applied directly to both the box body and the lid paddle. This advanced architectural seal completely repels moisture, allowing you to run clean yelps, cuts, clucks, and purrs wet or dry without ever needing to apply chalk in the field. Its true competitive advantage lies in its double-sided acoustic chamber configuration. Each striking lip of the mahogany box is tuned to a slightly different thickness and pitch, allowing you to seamlessly replicate the unique vocal tones of two entirely different wild hen turkeys. This multi-hen versatility lets you create the illusion of a flocking dispute, breaking down the defenses of stubborn, hung-up toms and pulling them directly into your clean shooting lane.

Questions & Answers
Q: Do I ever need to use traditional box call chalk on the Primos Waterboard call?
A: No, absolutely not. Traditional box calls depend on chalk to create surface friction, but the Waterboard utilizes a specialized, built-in waterproof coating that provides the exact right friction coefficient on its own. Applying standard chalkboard or box chalk can gum up the specialized formula and degrade its moisture-repelling properties.
Q: How do you manipulate your stroke cadence to switch between the two hen tones on this call?
A: To mimic the first hen, hold the mahogany base firmly in your hand and slide the canary paddle across one side lip using standard, rhythmic strokes. To switch to the second hen, simply rotate the box call in your palm and use the opposite side striking lip, which features a slightly altered tone profile to mimic an entirely different bird's pitch.
