Zink Calls Expansion 2025

Zink has announced the addition of two top-of-the-line tools to their turkey-calling lineup, the Thunder Ridge Pro Series Strikers and the premium Ridge Talker Box Call—both of which deliver true-to-life sounds that promise to quickly bring the woods to life.

Zink’s Thunder Ridge Pro Series Strikersdeliver balance and superb sound quality against any pot call surface. Precision-turned from water-resistant Dymondwood to ensure years of use in the spring woods, they offer the one-two-punch every hunter needs in their arsenal: one flair-tip and one straight-tip striker, each boasting a specialized rubber sleeve for improved grip for fast cutting and complete control in all weather conditions.

The Ridge Talker, on the other hand, is a smooth-talking, double-sided box call that emulates the high pitch of a young hen. The double-sided construction of this call allows left- and right-handed callers to mimic two distinctive hen calls. Crafted with a poplar box and cherrywood paddle, the Ridge Talker delivers the pure, authentic turkey sounds you expect from every Zink-branded call.
