ATC, Single Reed

Take control of the air.
The ATC stands for Air Traffic Controller—and that’s exactly what this call was built to be.
Based on the proven tone board of Slayer’s YOLO Bypass, the ATC uses a straight-frame, single-reed design with our unique O-ring wedge system. We opened the exhaust to create a larger bore, then adjusted the mouthpiece and barrel length to give the ATC its own feel, sound and response.
The result is an incredibly well-balanced duck call with tremendous bottom end and plenty of bark. It delivers hard, raspy quacks, realistic feeding chatter and commanding greeting calls. Lean into it with more air and the ATC produces serious reach and volume. Control your air presentation and it cleans up for more precise, natural calling.
From aggressive calling at a distance to controlled finishing work, the ATC is one of the most versatile duck calls in the Slayer lineup—and one that belongs on your lanyard.
