Best Flip and Pitch rod opinions?
I have a fewhite that I like. I have a dobyns hp 746dx, dobyns ce 765 flip, megabass orochi pitch perfect (JDM version), and for the heavy stuff a megabass black jungle Super Red Demon. All are great with different purposes for me.

dumping the revo sx need advise.
I am a die hard daiwa and shimano fan. I usually fish high end reels by both companies: Steez, Metanium, Conquest, Antares, Zonda, IP79. I recently bought an Okuma Helios TCS and enjoy fishing it. Pretty nice work horse reel.

Line spooler
I bought this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Goture-Portable-Fishing-Spooler-Accessories/dp/B0116JEU6I/ref=sr_1_4?s=hunting-fishing&ie=UTF8&qid=1484864871&sr=1-4 It's easy to use and cheap. I only use braid on spinning reels though, so I don't know how mono and fluoro work on it. I do spool my batters with copolymer withe it and have never had any problems.

Megabass Zonda Handle Screws and Nut
Anyone know what size Allen wrench is needed to take the screws out of the handle? Also what size is the reel handle nut? I just got a new handle in and want to put it on it. I tried my hedgehog screwdriver, but it didn't fit. Thanks guys.

Right or left
I haven't got into fly fishing. I only really fish for largemouth and inshore. I live in South GA on the coast. I do want to try it out though. I think it would be fun for inshore.

Costa Help
I actually have Green mirror, blue mirror, and copper in 580. I switch between my green mirror and copper for fishing. My blue mirror lenses have been designated as my driving glasses and are left in my truck. Mine are all plastic because they are lighter and if I drop them they won't shatter.
-
Right or left
I can cast, flip, and pitch with both hands, but I prefer to reel with my right hand with both casting and spinning gear. I feel I control the fish better with my left hand on the rod. I think it probably comes from a combination of me using a right hand zebco 33 growing up and I am left handed when I hit baseballs and softballs.

flipping setup
It's according to what you are flipping and pitching into. I have different setups for where ever I am fishing. 1. Heaviest cover-timber/thick mats: megabass Super Red Demon with a Daiwa SV103 2. Moderate-heavy cover: Dobyns 746dx with a Megabass IP79 3. Light cover: Megabass orochi Pitch Perfect with Steez ltd sv 105 I use either power pro or suffix 832 braid or 20 to 25 lb Yo-Zuri or P-Line copolymer

Senkos or Dingers?
I use multiple different stick baits including Senkos, Dingers, bps stick baits, grandebass rattlesnakes, RI pocket rockets, and gambler. I feel they all have a time and a place. My best producers are Senkos, BPS stick baits, and grandebass. These three are also my favorite. When I go hunting for a big fish I use Senkos exclusively. I have just caught so many more bigger fish on them than the others.

Morning vs evening fishing
I feel like I do better in the morning, but most of my big fish came between 10am to 3pm. That being said I have caught plenty of fish in the evening. Time of year also plays in.

Swimbait Rig: Shimano Cardiff or...?
I use a dobyns champion xp 806 SB rod with a Shimano conquest 400 for my big baits and I use a dobyns fury 795 SB rod with a Lexa 300 for my smaller swimbaits. I do have big hands though, so the 400 is comfortable to me.

Ordering Rods
I have ordered rods from tackle warehouse, eBay, Amazon, American Legacy, Mel Cottons, Dobyns. I have also ordered some reels and a few rods from Japan. Most are free shipping over a certain value. If they don't hit that value there is usually around a $20 shipping fee. Ebay and Japan sellers are usually seller dependent.
