My basic advice on this is to set a budget for your combo and then scew it one way or the other depending on application. For "Feel" type baits lean toward the rod and for moving baits (especially deep cranks) toward the reel. In many cases you get what you pay for to some degree but there is definetely a pint of diminishing returns.
The KVD stuff may be a little over-done by Strike King, but in my opinion the KVD cranks that I have seem to be decent baits for the money. KVD is a smart guy and as far as I know there are no low quality baits with his name on them. My guess is if the frogs have his name on them they too will be a decent product. I will give them a try. If anyone finds any of the KVD dog poo baits let me know, I would also like to try them.
If you are looking for some inanimate object to give you an advantage in competition, you've already become a donator. Learn your lakes, understand how the fish relate, and what baits work in that lake. Learn how to catch them on a bad day for fishing, and just realizing that it's becoming a bad day for fishing and you'll do well.
My best advice would be to worry less about what is in your boat and more about what is under it.
The key to consistantly doing well in fishing whether you are in a tournament or just fun fishing is the ability to locate the fish. Spending the time needed to understand the formula put out by In-Fisherman many years ago will help you understand the process.
