John Yasger
Horicon, Wisconsin
1891-1963
 
Not much has been published on this unique call maker, but if you come across one of his calls, you will see how advanced he was for his time. It was a well known problem to lose a reed or wedge block during a hunt with a Reelfoot metal reed style of call.  Yasger had a very unique wedge block and reed design. Just above the exhaust he fashioned the tone board to accept a notched out reed as well as wedge block.  If you’re a vintage call collector you know how rare it is to find calls with all original components. With Yasger’s design, I’d venture to say that almost all remaining calls would be 100% intact.
