Zink Expands Turkey Call Lineup With New Strikers and Box Call

IRVING, TX – April 2025 – By entrusting their calling to Zink, turkey hunters can usher spring thunder in right. The renowned brand recently announced the addition of two top-of-the-line tools to their turkey-calling lineup, the Thunder Ridge Pro Series Strikers and the premium Ridge Talker Box Call—both of which deliver true-to-life sounds that’ll quickly bring the woods to life.

Zink’s Thunder Ridge Pro Series Strikers deliver flawless balance and superb sound quality against any pot call surface. Precision-turned from water-resistant Dymondwood to ensure years of use in the spring woods, they offer the one-two-punch every hunter needs in their arsenal: one flair-tip and one straight-tip striker, each boasting a specialized rubber sleeve for improved grip for fast cutting and complete control in all weather conditions.

The Ridge Talker, on the other hand, is a smooth-talking, double-sided box call that emulates the high pitch of a young hen, cutting the spring air and drawing distant longbeards on a rope. The double-sided construction of this call allows left- and right-handed callers to perfectly mimic two distinctive hen calls, sounding so much like the real thing that cruising toms won’t think twice. Crafted with a poplar box and cherrywood paddle, the Ridge Talker delivers the pure, authentic turkey sounds you expect from every Zink-branded call.

About Zink:

It’s true champions are not born but made. That enterprising spirit is exactly what Zink calls is founded on. When, in 2001, champion caller and accomplished outdoorsman Fred Zink couldn’t find the tools required to take his calling—and the hunts he so often shared with family and friends—to the next level, he decided to take things into his own hands. Through decades of careful crafting, obsessive dedication and ceaseless hand-tuning, today, Zink’s goose, duck and turkey calls are the most true-to-life in the outdoor industry—delivering perfectly precise cuts, unique rods, premium reeds, one-of-a-kind materials and the most innovative designs available.

HS Strut Reveals New Turkey Chokes and Calls

IRVING, TX – April 2025 – HS Strut™, the storied brand of turkey calls and hunting accessories founded by Hunters Specialties more than three decades ago, recently introduced a new choke tube lineup and double-tone box call, just in time for 2025 turkey openers nationwide. 

Undertaker Pro Choke Tubes

A new take on an old favorite, the next-generation Undertaker Pro Choke Tubes feature modern designs that adapt to the industry’s ever-changing turkey ammo. Their extended chokes deliver tight patterns thanks to unique internal groove technology that separates pellets from the wad, preventing the wad from spinning and concentrating more pellets on the intended target—gobblers’ heads. All five models in the new lineup are rated for use with various ammo types, including steel, lead, bismuth and TSS.

Available options include:

  • Remington
  • Winchester/Browning Invector
  • Winchester/Browning Invector Plus
  • Beretta/Benelli Mobil
  • Beretta/Benelli/Retay Crio Plus

Double Deuce Box Call

As versatile as turkey calls come, the double-sided, double-cavity construction of the Double Deuce Box Call provides hunters with a two-toned call capable of producing a wide range of sounds. Its black walnut paddle pairs with a poplar box featuring two cavities, one long and one short, each responsible for delivering a unique set of calls—the short cavity creates high-pitched hen sounds, like mating yelps, cutts and purrs, while the longer cavity produces medium- to low-pitched yelps, clucks, cutts and purrs, as well as young gobbler yelps.
