Haydel's MP-90 Magnum Pintail Mallard Drake Call

The Haydel's MP-90 Magnum Pintail Mallard Drake Call is a high-output waterfowl call engineered for extreme volume and clarity in open-water and marshland environments. This pintail and mallard drake call delivers the penetrating acoustics needed to reach distant flocks in windy conditions, making it the preferred choice for serious waterfowl hunters pursuing pintails, widgeons, teals, and mallards across variable terrain and weather.

Designed with magnum-level output, the MP-90 produces the loud, distinct vocalizations that trigger responsive behavior from wary drake pintails and mallards. The call's compact, ergonomic profile—measuring 5 inches in length with a 1.6-inch diameter—allows for easy single-hand operation and storage in shirt pockets or gear bags. At just 0.09 pounds, it introduces zero weight penalty to a hunting loadout. The whistle-style mechanism provides consistent tone production without the learning curve of traditional double-reed calls, making the MP-90 an accessible platform for introducing novice hunters and children to waterfowl calling without sacrificing the acoustic power required in field conditions.

This call fits the workflow of mobile hunters working open water, flooded timber, and high-pressure public-land marshes where distance communication with flocks is essential. Pintail and wigeon specialists particularly benefit from the magnum output, as these species respond aggressively to high-volume, accurate drake calls. The straightforward operation—blow and modulate—reduces fatigue during extended hunting sessions and allows focus on decoy placement, wind management, and bird reading rather than call technique.

The MP-90 occupies a distinct position in the Haydel's lineup: it prioritizes raw acoustic reach and simplicity over versatility. Hunters seeking a single-purpose call optimized for pintail and mallard drake tones in demanding conditions will find the magnum output advantageous compared to standard-volume calls, especially in 20+ mph wind or over large water expanses where call audibility directly impacts shot opportunity.
