Are they made by the same folks?
That would be correct. Kent and Rick are still on good terms though, so the influence on a lot of the Hobos is obvious. Both are good calls from two good companies.ccduck said:The are not made by the same people. Kent Cullum is the founder of hobo call. He did work with echo and the echo prime meat was made for his calling type. Echo now calls is the pure meat. Kent took the original design and changed a few things and created the hobo prime meat. That is it to the best of my knowledge. If anyone knows otherwise please feel free to chime in.
well said dukbuster06, Kent has now moved back to Arkansas and is putting his FULL effort into HOBO DUCK CALLS.. his calling skills are second to none and his knowledge on calling ducks he put on his new instructional dvd "The Duck Dictionary" .. i would highly recomend this dvd here is a sample of it..duckbuster06 said:That would be correct.

What do you mean what I believe happened? I watched it happen. I have already stated what happened. Just re-read my past post. Rick and Kent are still good friends. I am not talking bad about anybody or trying to say either party is at fault or anything. I am stating a fact on the story of how hobo originated. They are based off the echo soundboard because rick gave it to kent. He gives it to whoever wants it. It's not like some big secret. They are duck calls not rocket science. ;D If somebody would like to correct my story please let me hear what you "think" happened.mizzouducker said:Koolaid, please share what you believe happened.
Yes Jerry turns both.jrlineberry said:Correct me if im wrong, but aren't both turned at Jerry's Bait Shop somewhere in Tennessee?
Yes I am saying you would have the best sounding calls on the market as well. Call him up or stop by his shop and ask him for the soundboard for any call except his boss. He will give it to you. It's not a secret. Yes there are different deminsions but he will help you out with that as well.Bandbrother71 said:So your saying I start building duck calls and call for the deminsions of his sound board and barrel. he just gonna give it to me ? every duck call sounds differnt for a reason if it was that simple wouldnt they all sound the same... because he has the best sounding calls on the market so then again I would have the best sounding calls on the market
