Is there any tip or trick that you know to keep your call from sticking, I know its pretty much inevitable, but I have heard rainx on your reed helps? Any advice?

Fresh cork that is the right size will help keep that reed angle proper. I've never wasted time with rain x. Also cut your notes with the middle of your tongue keeping the tip of your tongue anchored at the back of your teeth, this will keep a lot of spit out of the call.
What call is sticking on ya?

The quack shack outlaw. I rubbed my reeds down with just a little chap stick, and blew my call for hours after, with not a sign of locking up.

^my grandfather use to do the chap stick deal. I personally have never tried it but I also, now running lares, have not had any issues with sticking.
Couple other minor things, keep the insert points at a downward angle to help spit leave the call vs keeping it parallel or slightly upward which will keep more moisture in the call. Some people will say keep the tone board flipped upside down in the call in regards to air presentation to keep less moisture from running up the tone board. Not sure how to perceive that piece of advice but maybe it will help.
Usually a quick cut or two will clear enough moisture out to let it run.
What call is sticking on you?

Its a Rubber wedge, and yes, the ChapStick worked awesome. Its made by some guy in Texas who has his own TV show. And I bought it. I personally love it, but its also the only duck call I have owned. And great customer service, I can call him anytime, and he'll sit and talk for an hour from past hunts to what his plans are for next season.
