Discontinued Lures and lure colors
I really liked old Berkley power lizards; the ones with the flat belly. I don't know why they stopped making them.

Using lures with no success
Man, I love the Rapala DTs. Make sure you are using the right bait for the depth you are fishing. For example I'll throw a DT6 if I'm fishing 4'-5' of water. You always want your bait to be digging the bottom. Also try varying your retrieve. Hope this helps.

Help me choose a spinning rod for weightless plastics/shakey heads/etc
I picked up a St. Croix LTBS68MXF this winter, its awesome, best all around finess rod I've ever used.

Favorite Flipping Lure?
I feel like worms and senkos are highly underrated flippin baits. The catch fish and they slip through cover easier than creature baits.
-
How often do you double up on one lure?
3 times in over 20 years of fishing. All the fish were 12 -18 inches, always on a pond with a Bandit crankbait. Always fun ;D

what's your approach with cranks for smallies in creeks/rivers?
I have had success fishing up and down stream. I totally agree with RW about fish facing up stream but I feel like there are times when bringing the bait upstream keeps it in the strike zone longer. My best baits have been the Bandit 200 and a Rapala DT 6.

Is a 6'3" something rod the right choice ?
If you are going to throw "light stuff" a MF or MXF between 6' and 7' will do just fine.
