A: 
No, its not just for flipping and pitching, acually, the only thing that makes it a good flipping and pitching reel is the way the thumbar is designed. It has a thing attached to the thumbar that you can push up on to re-engage the spool without turning the handle, which is good for flipping and pitching. However, it should still be a great reel for casting, too. This feature makes it good for buzzbaits and frogs, too because you can re-engage the spool before the lure sinks. Hope this was helpful.

A: 
The big this what line and what kind of line you use. I use 20 P-Line CXX. These are very good reels for the cost. I have have these for years and just clean oil then once a year. You need to make sure the rod is not long for as tall you are. I'm 5'-8" and I use a 7' rod. Some people use longer but I can not
