Haydel's VTM90 Variable Tone Double Reed Mallard Hen Duck Call - Black Acrylic

The Haydel's VTM90 Variable Tone Double Reed Mallard Hen Duck Call is purpose-built for serious waterfowlers who want versatility and control in the marsh. This black acrylic open call uses a double reed design to produce authentic mallard hen sounds—the bread-and-butter vocalizations that consistently bring ducks within range. Whether you're working a small pothole or a major timber flat, the variable tone feature lets you dial in everything from soft, conversational feeding calls to more aggressive comeback quacks without switching calls, giving you one reliable tool for the full spectrum of mallard hunting situations.

Haydel's has built a reputation among duck hunters for calls that sound right and respond predictably when you need them most. This VTM90 strikes a balance between user control and ease of operation; the acrylic construction is durable enough for hard use and easy to maintain in the field. If you're past the beginner stage and looking to expand your mallard calling game, or you're building a versatile waterfowl setup, this call belongs in your bag.

Pair it with a standard duck call lanyard and you've got a proven platform for late-season birds, unpressured flocks, or situations where hens are doing the talking. The VTM90 is the kind of call that earns its place in your decoy spread through results, not hype.
