Cordell Boy Howdy 3/8 Chrome Black

The Cordell Boy Howdy 3/8 Chrome Black is a dual-prop topwater lure built to create commotion and draw aggressive strikes from bass and stripers. Twin propellers fore and aft spin and churn the surface, producing the spit-and-gurgle action that mimics a baitfish in distress. Whether you're casting into a schooling bite or working structure methodically, this lure adapts to your presentation style—making it a reliable choice for anglers who want one topwater that handles both high-speed blitzes and deliberate precision work.

The real versatility lies in how you fish it. Bend the props forward to slow the lure down and maximize surface disturbance—ideal when bass are feeding aggressively and you want to match their intensity. Or bend them back to tighten up the action for a quicker, quieter retrieve when you need a more subtle approach or faster water coverage. That flexibility means you're not swapping lures as conditions shift; you're adapting one lure to meet the moment.

At 3/8 ounce, the Boy Howdy casts cleanly and lands softly enough not to spook wary fish in clear shallows, yet throws far enough to reach deeper feeding zones. The Chrome Black finish cuts through stained water and provides good visibility in low light—a finish that catches bass and stripers alike.
