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.....

Also All calls will run when "Wet",It's when "Ice" sets in when calls wont run.

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.

True,True... its just some think if a little spit gets in, its done. I think when Buck G came out with the Spit Tech it started all that stuff.
