The first time I took that plug with me to fish with Numby in his boat I had three False Albacore plus I don't know how many bass on a yellow Howdy Bernzy sent to me (now retired in a place of honor).

At the end of the day he wanted a phone number ( I gave him Joe Lyons site address) and he bought a half dozen.

As he said, that plug is a dasytime bass killer. I have a friend who fishes and fished Fishers Island NY for years and now after showing him the plug and how it works, he fishes nothing else there. White w/pink or yellow is all you need to be succesfull with a howdy.

I never fish along the Elizabeths in the daytime without them.

Why even try.........
