Mastering the Marsh: The Duck Commander Jase Pro Series Tigerwood Mallard Hen Call

For waterfowl hunters who demand unparalleled realism and versatility in their pursuit of mallards, the right duck call is not just an accessory—it's an indispensable tool. The Duck Commander Jase Pro Series Double Reed Mallard Hen Call in natural Tigerwood (UPC: 040444513131, MPN: DCPROTW) stands as a testament to this philosophy, engineered to elevate your calling prowess and enhance your success in the field. This isn't merely a piece of equipment; it's an extension of your hunting strategy, designed to replicate the authentic, nuanced vocalizations of a mallard hen with exceptional fidelity.

Why Choose the Jase Pro Series Tigerwood Call?

Choosing a duck call involves understanding the intricate balance of material, reed configuration, and the specific sounds it can produce. The Jase Pro Series Tigerwood call addresses critical needs for hunters, whether they are navigating vast open waters or drawing birds into tight timber.

Unleashing Authentic Mallard Hen Sounds

What makes a duck call truly effective? It’s the ability to mimic the exact sounds that trigger a natural response from live birds. The Duck Commander Jase Pro Series call is specifically designed to produce the full spectrum of mallard hen vocalizations, from piercing hail calls to soft, enticing quacks.

• Piercing High End for Open Water: When ducks are flying high or across wide-open expanses, you need a call that cuts through wind and distance. The Tigerwood barrel, combined with its unique design, allows for a powerful, high-pitched "hail call" that carries far, grabbing the attention of distant flocks and signaling your presence. This is crucial for hunters operating in large marshes, lakes, or agricultural fields where visibility might be limited and long-range attraction is paramount.
• Soft, Raspy Low End for Finishing: As ducks respond and begin their descent, the dynamic shifts. You need to transition from loud, attention-grabbing calls to subtle, reassuring sounds that encourage them to commit and land within range. This call excels at producing the soft, raspy "come-back" calls, "feeding clucks," and "greeting calls" that mimic a contented hen, effectively lulling wary birds into a false sense of security and guiding them precisely into your decoys. The raspy undertones add a layer of realism that digital calls often struggle to replicate, making the sound feel more organic and less artificial.

The Power of Tigerwood: Material Matters

The choice of material significantly impacts a call's acoustics, durability, and overall performance. Tigerwood, a dense and naturally resonant timber, offers distinct advantages that set this call apart.

• Exceptional Sound Resonance: Tigerwood is renowned for its acoustic properties. Its density and tight grain structure contribute to a rich, full-bodied sound with excellent projection and minimal sound distortion. This means cleaner, crisper notes and a more authentic duck sound that resists cracking or breaking up, even under heavy use.
• Durability in Harsh Environments: Duck hunting often takes place in demanding conditions – wet, cold, and sometimes muddy. Tigerwood is naturally resistant to moisture, warping, and decay, ensuring that your call maintains its integrity and performance season after season. This natural resilience makes it a reliable companion in the blind, enduring the rigors of the elements where lesser materials might fail.
• Unique Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional benefits, the natural grain and coloration of Tigerwood provide a distinct, aesthetically pleasing look. Each call possesses unique patterns, making it not just a tool but also a small piece of natural art.

Double Reed Advantage: Control and Consistency

The double reed system is a cornerstone of this call's design, offering specific benefits, particularly for hunters who value ease of use and versatility.

• Easier to Master: For many, especially those transitioning from single reeds or newer to calling, double reed calls are generally more forgiving and easier to produce a consistent sound with. They require less air pressure and technique to get a good "quack," making the learning curve less steep. This allows hunters to focus more on calling sequences and less on struggling to make the call sound right.
• Versatile Sound Production: The double reed provides a broader range of tones and pitches, enabling the caller to mimic the subtle nuances of a mallard hen more effectively. This versatility is crucial for adapting to different hunting scenarios, from open water to timber, and for adjusting to the behavior of different duck flocks.
• Reliable Performance: The riveted double reed design ensures stability and prevents the reeds from slipping or becoming misaligned during aggressive calling or in wet conditions. This reliability is paramount when you're in a critical moment, needing your call to perform flawlessly without hesitation.

Optimizing Your Hunt: Real-World Use Cases and Calling Strategies

How can the Duck Commander Jase Pro Series Tigerwood call directly impact your hunting success? Consider these scenarios and how this specialized tool provides the answers.

Scenario 1: Open Water Hunting & Long-Range Attraction

Problem: Ducks flying high, distant, and seemingly uninterested over vast bodies of water.
Solution: Utilize the call's piercing high end for powerful hail calls.
How to:

1. High Ball/Hail Call: Project loud, long, drawn-out quacks (e.g., "QUAAACK, Quack, Quack!") to get the attention of ducks flying high or far away. The Tigerwood's resonance ensures your call carries.
2. Come-Back Call: If ducks acknowledge but don't commit, transition to a series of sharp, fast "come-back" quacks (e.g., "Quack-Quack-Quack-Quack!") to simulate a duck trying to pull a group back. The double reed facilitates this quick transition.

• Hunter's Edge: This call's ability to produce both high volume for reaching distant birds and subtle variations for working them closer is a significant advantage in large open water settings.

Scenario 2: Timber & Close-Quarters Finishing

Problem: Ducks are circling your decoys but won't drop their landing gear. You need to reassure them and guide them into the kill hole.
Solution: Employ the call's soft, raspy low end for realistic finishing sounds.
How to:

1. Greeting Call: As ducks commit and start circling, offer a soft, inviting "quack, quack, quack" (e.g., "K-wock, K-wock, K-wock") to simulate a friendly hen on the water.
2. Feeding Cluck: Once ducks are close, use soft, rhythmic "clucks" (e.g., "Dut-dut-dut") to imitate ducks feeding contentedly, signaling safety. The raspy quality of the Tigerwood call adds depth to this sound.
3. Whining/Lonesome Hen: For hesitant birds, a soft, drawn-out "quack" followed by a short, sharp "quack" can mimic a lonesome hen looking for company, often the final push needed.

• Hunter's Edge: The call's remarkable ability to produce nuanced, soft, and raspy sounds makes it ideal for the critical "finishing" stage of the hunt, especially in the tight confines of flooded timber or small pockets.

Scenario 3: Educated Ducks & Challenging Conditions

Problem: Hunting in areas with heavily pressured ducks that have heard every call imaginable.
Solution: Leverage the call's natural sound and versatility to offer something unique.
How to:

1. Vary Your Sequence: Don't stick to one routine. Mix high balls with soft greeting calls, throw in feeding clucks, and vary the rhythm. The Jase Pro Series allows for dynamic shifts in volume and tone.
2. Listen and Respond: Pay close attention to how the ducks react. Are they flaring? Are they curious? Adjust your calling immediately. The responsiveness of the double reed allows for quick changes.
3. Master the Raspy Kee-Kee: A subtle yet highly effective call, the raspy kee-kee mimics a very excited hen. The natural raspy quality inherent in this Tigerwood call makes this advanced sound more achievable.

• Hunter's Edge: The "natural Tigerwood" aspect isn't just aesthetic; it contributes to a more organic, less artificial sound that educated birds might find more convincing than calls made from synthetic materials, which can sometimes produce a "plastic-y" or overly bright tone.

Beyond the Basics: Maintaining Your Duck Commander Call

To ensure your Duck Commander Jase Pro Series call performs optimally for years, proper care is essential.

• Post-Hunt Cleaning: After each hunt, disassemble the call (if possible) and gently rinse any mud or debris from the reeds and insert. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling. Never store a wet call.
• Preventing Reed Stickage: Moisture can cause reeds to stick. If this occurs, gently separate them. Some hunters carry a small piece of fine sandpaper to lightly buff the reeds if sticking becomes a persistent issue, though this should be done with extreme caution.
• Safe Storage: Store your call in a dry, cool place, ideally in a dedicated call case or pouch to protect it from dust, dirt, and impacts. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can damage the wood.
• Avoiding Over-Calling: While the call is durable, consistent, aggressive calling without proper technique can fatigue the reeds. Practice smooth, controlled air pressure.
