So I wound up with an empty drop on my lanyard. As I see it, I don't need another call, and I'd be fine for 99.9% of anything I got into.
But, if I filled the empty spot, what would you add to the following, and more importantly, why?
I run the following (already on my lanyard): (1) RNT Daisy Slayer (2) Zink ATM (3) Primos High Roller (4) Zink COD
So, what 5th call would you add, and why?

I only have one expensive call and one $3 whistle, once I learn how to run two calls at once I'll purchase another.

Looks like you have more than enough Duck calls, so to fill that empty spot I would suggest a Cutt Down "Loudmouth" Canada, or if you like to spend money, one of the Tim Grounds short reed Canada calls in acrylic or acrylic and a dense wood like hedge or cocobolo. I know I have been on a few duck hunts in my life when I was surprised by one or more geese and wished I had put a goose call on my lanyard next to my DR95.

Yeah, I use the Daisy Slayer most. I keep the Zink on there because it will blow even when wet. so, if/when I spit too much and get the RNT stuck, the Zink is good to go. The COD goose call is, well, a goose call. And then the whistle is a whistle.
Everything has a reason. Like I said, not sure I need another or not.

Sorry, I forgot about COD being the "Call of Death" being a goose call. They got so many over the top names for calls nowdays I get them confused as to what they are actually used for and I don't think I have ever seen anyone actually using a zink call of death on a hunt before. So.....

There's wet, and then there's WET and the reed plastered to the insert. When it's WET, it takes a huge blow to get it loosened up, or taking the call apart and fixing it.
