Ive been fishing the slammer for many years and love the bait. Ive been fishing the wake bait jr since late April and have been having a blast on it. Ive gotten one fish over ten on the 9" slammer. Since fishing the wake jr Ive gotten a handful over 7 including an 11-0 and an 8-14 on the same outing.

If I was targeting trophy bass instead of quality bass, I likely would use at least a 9" slammer. However, its been proven to me in very short order that the wake jr will produce not only quality but also trophy fish.

So the point is that both baits produce both quality and trophy. If you can afford both, you should get both. If you can only afford one, its a coin toss. But right now I would personally buy the wake jr.
