wtnhunt Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 All you guys using the true talker, I have a question, or maybe a couple. Did you adjust the o ring to change the tone? I am having troubles with this call, it sounds ok, but not great. I opened it up and adjusted the o ring and it sounds a bit better than it did out of the package, but still not quite as good as one of my other calls. Another thing, how did you get rid of the rubber odor. I have had this thing for 3 weeks or more now and I have tried spraying the call with scent away, tried washing it with baking soda on the exterior part of the call, and it still stinks. I know hte deer can smell it, I got winded by a doe just last night with no wind when she got about 15 yards out. She did not run off hard, but she had to have smelled the call just before she trotted down the hill and eventually walked on off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: true talker? I don't even mess with the O-rings. Really, the only thing you need to know is how much pressure to put on the call with your fingers to get the tone you want. Like I said, I've been using this call for 2 or 3 years and never even messed with the o-rings. Works fine for me. As for the rubber smell, not sure on that one. I can't remember ever really noticing an odor from that call since I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: true talker? Maybe I just got a defective call. With the o ring where it was at out of the package and the little rubber band deal, I could push towards the end of the call closer to your mouth for higher pitched tones(fawn calls) and you could not hardly blow through the call, and the sound you got did not sound like any deer at all. Actually the call sounded its best without applying any pressure to the reed at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That's how I use mine.I've never messed with the o-rings or the bands,I just use it to make grunts. Your right about the smell,this thing smells like a bucket full of burning pencil erasers.I've been doing the same....spraying it with carbon spray,washing it,and leaving it out to disipate the odar.It's gotten better,but still smells.I keep it tucked inside my scentblocker jacket unless I'm blowing in it.I love the grunts this thing makes,just wish it didn't stink so bad.

Bownarow Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: true talker? The best sound is absolutely w/o any pressure on the reed. How easy can it get. Pick it up and blow in it. I've never messed w/ the o-rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Re: true talker? I never changed the position of the O-Ring in mine so I cant help you there. With the "Rubber Bands" I use them as a refference point so I can hit a Doe bleat or Fawn bleat without looking at it. I did cut off a couple inches of the Tube to make it sound less like a bigger buck...had a few smaller bucks bolt after calling to them using the call without any finger pressure on the reed. My call is a few years old now but has never smelled bad even when it was new...no idea why yours does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made some interesting sounds on that thing so far, as I am still learning it. Ohiobucks got one for me for my birfffffday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Re: true talker? I love mine, it is so easy to use. I don't mess with changing things, like was stated, you adjust the sounds by putting fingertip pressure on the rubbers, works great too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Re: true talker? I dont change anything on mine either ... dont have a rubber smell but I leave mine in my truck to so it gets plenty of air ... I dont use my finger to change the tone either ... I love the way it sounds with just blowing it ... great call .... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
