Current Favorite Bugle Tube

[CrazySRanch]

The metal tube is loud. It is one I'm considering. Not a fan of the weight. Slayer calls look legit as well but it's a long tube. Phelps Renegade sounds good but Dirk Durham can probably make any tube sound good. I prefer tubes with good back pressure.

Thanks for the input size and weight dont matter a ton to me I am on livestock to cover ground. I have a smaller metal tube by phelps only one I have used i like it its loud I just want something a little bigger around i think my mouthpiece detaches i dont like that have dropped it many times for that reason.

How much are guys cutting off the wiffle bat and wrapping with what tape? Does it matter much?

I have a rocky mountain tube, sounds good but it's an older one and rough on the lips!

I bought a few different bats until I found a nice thick one, lots are too thin. Mine is 26” end to end about the same size as the Phelps tubes or other full size tubes. I wrapped mine with camo athletic tape to quiet it down when moving through the brush. Cut the end so it still produces back pressure. Cut the mouth side so it is flared to my liking

I'm still using a wiffle ball bat, cut down with a hole cut in the end. Works fine enough in CO where the elk don't buggle back anyway
