Yes this is the Top hog version of Clay's Bushhog. The difference being the longer arm and the bigger blades. When I was a teenager back in the 70's my friend that taught me how to bass fish took me to Clay Mc Cullum's house in Tuscaloosa . I traded him a hundred or so pounds of wheel weights for bushhogs. Man i had a grocery bag full of them. Story was that some patients at the V. A. helped assemble the lures.
Mr. McCullum had quite a reputation as a bass buster here in Tuscaloosa , Al. He had 5 giant mounts to prove it. One weighing over 14 lbs. They would be displayed at local bait shops to promote his bushhogs.
Today I only have a few of em left , none in the orig. package.
