Larrick,
The Search Feature in the upper right hand corner of the website is a valuable tool. The problem with your question is that its a bit too broad of a topic. What I read is that 12-25lb fluro leader depending on the amount and type of cover. Use straight braid if you are fishing the really heavy stuff...
I havent read any benefit to using monofilament with jigs. Its basically an all braid, or flurocarbon game as I understand it.
If you are talking smallmouth....then yes, fluro is good.
Check out this thread that I found by searching "jigs"

The beautiful thing about pitching and flipping is that you can practice at home. An empty keg cup and a football head with a plastic bait, and the hook snapped off is a great way to pass the time.
I've been practicing alot this winter, and I figure I can flip a jig at least 80 yards into a keg cup. (My left arm is fortunately alot longer than my right. Alot longer.)

Use braid when
Use flouro when
I only use monofilament on my spinnerbaits and buzz baits and typically use 15-17lb. I also use it on my topwaters with "gink" fly floatant on it so it stays on top of the water usually 8-12lb.
Does the keg cup have to be full to the top, partially full or empty?
