Well, got my Surf Howdies in the mail late yesterday afternoon.

I made a great trade, swapped some striper smut for 3 of Bernzy's Howdies - a killer pogie pattern, a green over gold and a crackleback (like the old Creek Chub finish) blurple - real nice finishes

Been seeing 'em in Bassmaster's posts, then I saw Throwing Timber's olive over white a week ago

up close - had to have 'em

I didn't get a chance to fish it in daylight last nite but even in the dark it was obvious that it casts like a rocket considering it's only 1.5 oz - the action felt good on different retrieves, Bernzy says it can be fished slowy like a needle leaving a V-wake, or walked like a spook, real erratic or slashed on top like a pencil. I'm dyin' to try it tonite just before dark to check it out.

Thanks again, Bernzy

they're awesome!

I heard they're gonna be available soon for the general buying public at a couple of places - get 'em while they're hot 'cause they ain't gonna last long -

All I can say is:

I GOT MINE

Heh heh heh....I want more.....
