MB Swamp Survivor as a heavy cover pitchin/flippin stick?

I'm currenly using an older IMX FLPR rod thats around 7'8" long and I really dont like the length and the action. I'm 5'5" tall and its just too long and all the bend is in the top 2ft which makes it really difficult to set the hook if the bite comes when the rod is low.

I also own a Swamp Survivor, and the length/action seem to be more towards what I'm looking for? Both my Dobyn's extreme Pitchin stik and JWR are 7'4" and I love them. The HMX is also very heavy (

Thoughts?

    I punch between 3/4 and 1 1/4 ounce and on my Swamp Survivor.

    No issues. Can go down to a half but it's happiest above 3/4.
