I had a few Skeet 6'4" rods that fit me great for flipping and pitching. They do not make them anymore. I am down to one. Anyone know of other rods like this? Any other brands?

I have no experience with this rod and not sure what baits you are flipping, but I'd be willing to bet this would serve you well. There really isn't much out there for short rods it seems. Lews does make a 5'9" Med Heavy.
If you don't find anything that will work, you might see about getting one custom built. If you care about form over function you'd probably be surprised at how reasonably you can find one.

Find you an old All Star WR1 and it will do what you are wanting just fine. I used a couple of them for 22 years and still have mine great pitching rods with plenty of back bone and you can find them cheap.
got a alx skipper with 20lb fluorocarbon on it !
really does great for me in tight places

I have the 683C and use it for skipping jigs. It has a soft tip and lots of backbone to pull a bass out from under a dock. The 684C would probably really fit your needs. Dobyns Champion XP Rods are very well made and have a great no hassle $70.00 replacement policy.

The Super Rakkai is what I think you'd love here's the specs and its good for any close quarter frog or topwater
SUPER REKKAI Length: 6'8 " Taper: MEDIUM FAST Lure Capacity: 3/8-1.1/2oz. Line Capacity: 12-25lb. The REKKAI is updated with Megabass' cutting edge X7 graphite matrix. It allows precise lure delivery into heavy cover, and the high tension tip along with the super-high sensitivity shaft allow information from the jig to instantly reach your hands from depths over 10m. This high tension shaft is fast and sensitive, and exhibits amazing peformance during reaction-focused approaches with rubber jigs and Texas rigs.
