Default Most Productive: Flipping/Pitching

Hey Guys, now that I have my new flippin' stick on order, I need a few opinions and views. Here's the main questions I need answered:

1) What line, Mono, Fluoro, or Braid, best suits you for Flipping/Pitching?
2) What lure type best suits you for Flipping/Pitching?
3) What weights would you say you use most for Flipping/Pitching?
4) What type of structure do you fish most when Flipping/Pitching?

Well, I got a few baits, three(3) packs of Canyon Gitzit Tubes, 3.75". These three I got in Junebug, Pumpkin/Black & Green flake, and Watermelon/Red & Green Flake. I also picked up a pack of Sweet Beavers in "Big Texan", and one pack of Roboworm Pitchin' Kraw 4" in "M.M III".

I can't wait to get my reel and practice for Spring!

1. Braid. 50 lb Powerpro to be specific.
2. Pitching. Easier than flipping IMO.
3. Weights-1/2 oz more than anything. I have a few bigger jigs for grass but don't fish many grass lakes.
4. Flooded timber, which is the most common cover in the lakes I fish.

Ditto, RB and add Boat docks and lighter jigs. When the water is cold I like to slow the fall-rate down, but stay with a "large" presentation.
