Heavy Heavy Flipping Baits ???

I recently tried to throw a 3/4 oz bullet weight with a huge magnum size
plastic. My St Croix flippng stick was not up to the task. I tried a
variety of settings ont he reel, and just couldn't get it to work well.
Either I couldn't pitch it (just flip it) or it would slap the water ont he
way out. I figured it was strictly my inability to dial in the reel, but
when I got home I tied a similar rig on my Tica TC3 flipping stick and I was
able to pitch it. Not as easily as a lighter bait, but it could be dialed
in to pitch without short pitching or smacking the water every cast.

My TC3 is an 8 ft heavy action rod. Same line and reel on both rods.
Quantum Accurist with 50LB Power Pro.

I rarely fish a weight that heavy or a bait that big, but there are times
when I want a huge heavy bait to punch through cover in muddy conditions etc
etc... What type of rig do you use?
