HSP Strut SM Frame Raspy Old Hen Turkey Diaphragm Call

The HSP Strut SM Frame Raspy Old Hen Turkey Diaphragm Call is built for hunters who need a compact, comfortable fit—especially younger callers or adults with smaller mouths. This small-frame diaphragm call delivers authentic raspy hen vocalizations through a pair of ultra-thin double split reeds engineered to reproduce the harsh, grating sounds of an older bird. The SM frame design keeps the call seated securely without bulk, so you can focus on your setup and your sight picture rather than managing call placement.

Raspy old hen calls are a proven tool in spring turkey hunting, particularly when you're working pressured birds or need to sound aggressive and territorial. The reed configuration on this HSP call produces the kind of nasal, worn-edge tones that convince gobblers you're a hen ready for action—not the clean, musical yelp of a young bird. Diaphragm calls reward practice and breath control, but once you dial in the technique, you'll have both hands free for your shotgun or bow.

The frame features new blue colored tape, which serves as a visual reference for proper reed orientation and helps ensure consistent positioning in your mouth every time you use it. The Infinity Latex material is designed to maintain calling consistency across multiple outings, so your raspy hen tone stays reliable through the season. Like any diaphragm call, this one requires you to learn the mechanics—palate position, air pressure, and tongue movement all matter—but the payoff is a highly mobile, hands-free calling option that fits easily in a shirt pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use the small frame size?

The SM frame is designed for junior callers, children, and adults with smaller mouths or palates. If you find standard diaphragm calls uncomfortable or difficult to seat properly, the smaller frame may be a better fit.

What sounds does a raspy old hen call produce?

The ultra-thin double split reeds on this call generate the harsh, nasal vocalizations of an older hen turkey—sounds that are distinctly different from the cleaner yelps of younger birds. These raspy tones can be especially effective on pressured turkeys or when you want to sound aggressive and territorial.

Is a diaphragm call hard to learn?

Diaphragm calls have a learning curve and require practice with breath control, palate position, and tongue movement to produce consistent sounds. However, once you develop the technique, they become a highly portable, hands-free calling option that keeps your hands on your firearm or bow.

What is the blue tape for?

The blue colored tape serves as a visual reference to help you orient the reeds correctly in your mouth each time you use the call, promoting consistent calling performance.
