Back by popular demand, the Cotton Cordell Tail-Weighted Boy Howdy brings lifelike action for more bites and more tall tales. This famous Cotton Cordell lure sits vertically in the water with the tail down when at rest. When you jerk the rod tip, it jumps forward and spits water like a fleeing shad or wounded minnow. Its designed to be fished slowly, to maximize time in the strike zone. No. 4 short-shank trebles maximize sticking power when fish strike.
