Zink Announces Booth Location #LL3009 at 2026 Ducks Unlimited Expo (DUX)

Renowned for its wide selection of industry-leading duck and goose calls, legendary waterfowl hunting brand Zink will return to this year's Ducks Unlimited Expo (DUX) to showcase an assortment of innovative products already flying off retailers' shelves nationwide. DUX event attendees can visit the Zink-branded booth location in the Lower Level of the Renasant Convention Center in Memphis, TN, booth #LL3009, from July 31 through August 2, to chat with experts, check out gear, and shop new-for-2026 items.

In the booth, Zink will showcase its new Paralyzer XR-1 duck and Paralyzer SR-2 goose call lineups, an assortment of waterfowl calls delivering the tools hunters need to bring birds in with sounds reminiscent of the real thing.

The hybrid Paralyzer XR-1 duck call line—available in four bold color options beginning in August—combines a classic J-Frame design with the raw bark of a cut-down, featuring a short barrel for sharper, controlled notes and a Z-Cut tone channel that nearly eliminates reed stick. Hand-turned from premium acrylic, each call is custom-made and precisely tuned to deliver deep, low-end feed that's ideal for bringing high-flying ducks within range.

The Paralyzer SR-2 goose call lineup, on the other hand, delivers aggressive breaking notes, loud honks, crisp clucks, and smooth double clucks, giving goose hunters full control over tone and volume in any situation. Available in four unique color combinations starting next month, each call is hand-tuned from high-quality acrylic, featuring a worn-in tone channel and short reed design that runs easy and hits hard when it counts.

About Zink: It's true that champions are not born but made. That enterprising spirit is exactly what Zink-branded calls were founded on. When, in 2001, champion caller and accomplished outdoorsman Fred Zink couldn't find the tools needed to elevate his calling—and the hunts he frequently shared with family and friends—he decided to take matters into his own hands. Through decades of careful crafting, obsessive dedication, and ceaseless hand-tuning, today, Zink's goose, duck, and turkey calls are the most true-to-life in the outdoor industry—delivering perfectly precise cuts, unique rods, premium reeds, one-of-a-kind materials, and the most innovative designs available.
