This is Wayne Carlton's original color-coded diaphragm system, the standard other elk calls get judged against. The color tells you the call: Beginner Red is the single reed that blows on the least air, Super Blue is the double-reed bugle that outsells the rest, and the Herd Bull triple reed is the loud, aggressive one. All three run moisture-resistant Infinity Latex and call hands-free.
Why it earns a spot
- Color-coded system lets you grab the right call by sight: Red, Blue, or the Herd Bull
- Beginner Red single reed blows with the least air and is the easiest to master
- Super Blue double reed is the original diaphragm elk bugle and the line's biggest seller
- Herd Bull triple reed is one of the strongest, loudest, most durable diaphragms Carlton builds
- Infinity Latex absorbs less moisture for long-lasting performance
- Hands-free design keeps both hands on your bow or rifle
