Re: Top water rod recommendation
Try a glass/composite rod for your topwaters. Your hook up to land percentage should go up. Additionally, you can really bomb those walkers on a glass rod.

Re: New High Speed Flipping Reel
In my opinion for pitching you don't need to go all out and get some 9.0 gear ratio reel. A 7:1 gear ratio is suffice in my opinion. With that being said, a core 50mg7 will do the job fine or a zillion. If you absolutely need a faster ratio look at the metanium xg or even the tatula type r.

Re: Going to experiment with some new spinnerbait brands
The revenge blades are great baits. For myself at least, it's the only brand spinnerbait I throw after seeing better results with them, then anything I have used in the past.

Re: What is your goto technique and best rod length
My goto technique would have to be a soft plastic Texas rigged with a 1/4 ounce weight. Rod to match would have to be a 7'0 MH

Re: Powell max 703 glass
this rod is a super versatile rod in my opinion. I have even caught a 7 pounder flipping tullies on the cal delta with this rod. Its a great rod for topwaters.

Re: Advantages of XF action rods
Here's basically my basis (for the most part) extra fast action for single hook duties, moderate to moderate fast for treble hook baits

Re: Core 50 vs the Met
The only reason I'd get a core 50 over a met is if you are a huge fan of the platform and want one before they no longer make them. That being said I'd get a metanium first because it's probably gonna be out for a while and then pick up a core when they become a sale item. Aldebarans and Scorpions ...

Re: Hollow Body vs. Soft Plastic Frogs?
I think hollow bodies are superior just for this fact. You can throw a hollow body anywhere basically. Soft plastic not so much. And I've had just about the same amount of success throwing a hollow body in water with no grass as in water with grass

Re: SK 5XD issue
I have the same issue with strike king. A lot of the cranks I have bought are hit or miss. Poor QC in my opinion. It got to the point where I just don't risk it and buy strike king anymore. If I want a crank in that price range I buy speed traps for square bills and for round bills bandits

Re: 7" Senko advice
The 7 inch senko is great rigged weightless and wacky. I've never used it with a weight seems like overkill to me
