When mallards are circling high and you need a call that can bring them in with sharp, raspy urgency, The Cadence by Cupped Wing Calls is your essential tool. Designed, engineered, and hand-tuned in New Zealand, this single-reed mallard call is known as a powerful asset among dedicated local waterfowl hunters.

Crafted with a beautiful, light-coloured hardwood barrel (such as Hedge wood) that perfectly contrasts with its ultra-dense African Blackwood insert, "The Cadence" delivers an incredibly crisp, loud, and raspy tone. African Blackwood, one of the densest timbers globally, ensures internal sound waves bounce off the tone board with maximum efficiency. This allows you to project hail calls through stiff winds while retaining the ability to drop down to soft, raspy feeding chuckles.

A common frustration for hunters on freezing mornings is a call that sticks. Cupped Wing Calls has addressed this by incorporating milled spit and air grooves into the tone board, which forces moisture away from the laser-cut reed. Combined with an O-ring sealed insert for a perfectly airtight fit, this call ensures flawless, reliable performance throughout the hunting season.

• Single-Reed Design: Delivers the sharp, raspy, and ultra-realistic quacks, feed chuckles, and hail calls required to finish stubborn mallards right into the decoy spread.

• Premium Timber Construction: Features a visually striking light hardwood barrel paired with an ultra-dense African Blackwood insert for superior resonance, volume, and crack.

• Anti-Stick Grooves: Milled spit and air grooves aggressively channel moisture away from the tone board, preventing the reed from locking up on frosty mornings.

• Precision Laser-Cut Reeds: Ensures perfectly consistent tuning right out of the box, offering incredible tonal range for both beginner and advanced callers.

• O-Ring Sealed Insert: The friction-fit O-ring ensures the insert and barrel stay tightly locked together without air leaks, maximising your back-pressure control.

• Premium Banding: Finished with a polished brass or gold-plated stainless steel band for a classic, heavy-duty aesthetic that looks incredible on your lanyard.
