Vintage Cotton Cordell Boy Howdy Tail Weight, 3/5oz fishing lure #13023

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17g), this topwater plug features the signature tail-weighted design that Cotton Cordell engineered for long-distance casting and a specific vertical resting profile on the surface. The 5" (13cm) body is finished in a classic silver-to-gray gradient, highlighted by a distinctive black "stitched" lateral line that provides high contrast in the water. This Boy Howdy, identified by product code 13023, is equipped with three treble hooks mounted via belly and tail hangers for targeting surface-feeding bass and pike. You can see the original yellow eyes with black pupils that remain prominent on the head section. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen holds a condition rating of 3/5, showing visible signs of use on the finish and hardware that reflect its time in a tackle box while remaining a solid representative of vintage American lure craftsmanship. The weighted tail is securely integrated into the tapered rear, ensuring the lure maintains its intended orientation during a cast.
