Ditto to all the good things said about these plugs. My kids woke up to a cow in their bathtub at CH last weekend from one of these.
The howdys cast like a rocket, swims like a little submarine and can be worked a number of different ways. My one-of-a-kind howdy Sr. is hanging on the face of a big fish

...but it was worth it

I'd give 5 howdys just to see that fish.
the burnsters: no bass will let this swim by without giving it a whack! (no kidding)
the big pike: WARNING: brace yourself before you retreive this plug. (enough said)
One of the best custom plug makers out there. They are both works of art AND bass magnets. Just placed my replacement order for the fall.
