Haydel's RL-99 "Redleg Mallard" Duck Call

The Haydel's RL-99 "Redleg Mallard" Duck Call is purpose-built for serious waterfowl hunters who demand authentic mallard vocalizations in the field. Designed to replicate the distinctive sounds of a hen mallard—often called a susie mallard by experienced callers—this hand-tuned instrument has become a trusted choice for duck hunters across North America. Whether you're working a blind on a cold November morning or calling birds into a marsh setup, the RL-99 delivers the reliability and sound quality that separates successful hunts from empty days.

The RL-99 features Haydel's signature double "O" ring construction, which creates an airtight seal critical for consistent tone production and clean reed response. The dual-reed system—a design hallmark of Haydel's professional lineup—allows hunters to produce both soft, subtle hails and cutting comeback calls without switching equipment. Each call is hand-tuned by professional callers before leaving the factory, ensuring that tone quality and ease of use meet competition-level standards. The compact 5-inch length makes it pocket-friendly during long hunting days, while the weighted design provides the heft and balance serious callers expect.

This call works exceptionally well in mixed-flock scenarios and during the later seasons when mallard hens dominate movement patterns. Experienced hunters and tournament-level callers favor the RL-99 for its versatility—it bridges the gap between aggressive greeting calls and the softer, more finesse-oriented vocalizations needed when birds are close and cautious. The durable construction withstands repeated use and seasonal storage, making it a long-term investment for any waterfowl hunter's gear bag. Compatible with standard duck hunting techniques and environments—from timber to open water—the Haydel's RL-99 "Redleg Mallard" Duck Call remains a field-proven performer for duck and goose hunting across all seasons.
