I think Fishhound hit it on the head with his answer. I don't flip myself, but maybe the other folks can add to his reply.
Knots, I use a polamer knot most times on all my rigs.

6'6" MH plus a 6.3 : 1 or 7.1:1 reel to winch em out.
i use 12 lb mono alot, but thicker cover may call for 14+ line or even braid. just get a cup and go at it. its a timing thing but youll be amazed how many fish youve been missing by not presenting your lure quiet enough or close enough to their cover.

ive always pitched alot more b/c our lakes are fairly clear and the cover can be sparse, so i dont bother with flippin as it spooks too many fish that a well placed pitch would nab!
