14in is big for those chasing trophy bass all over the world. I'd imagine in the northeast that's a bit of a overkill, but i but someone gonna catch a big one with it. Personally if it wasn't for the telephone pole you need to cast it and the expensiveness i would try chucking one.
I don't even own a slammer yet or any wake bait like that.
Wish i had some... i know some places where the slammer would destroy!
