Thanks all for the comps

The Cotton Cordell "Boy Howdy" was the inspiration for the "Surf Howdy"
The Boy Howdy was/ is one of the hottest plugs for Stripers and Hybrids in the mid-south/south. Had some awesome days fishing it this year down in Tennessee, so I thought I would make a bigger version with yellow cedar and thru-wire for the bigger freshwater Stripers and the salty ones that lurk off the beaches and jetties in the north-east.
Note in the picture below, the lead ball just above the tail hook. On mine the weight is inside the tail.
