O.K. this is all good info. But what about a 'general' line size? I know that there is not one right line size for all applications. But for those of us that pound the shore alot, and only carry one or two rods for multi-tasking what would you suggest?

When I'm in my tube or kick it's no problem, I cam take 4, 5 or 6 rods. But, right now, when I walk the shore, I only take 2 rods. Both are 7 ft. med/hvy. Both have Iron Silk on them. One is 10lb and the other is 14. With the 10, I can throw small finesse worms and light cranks. With the 14, I can step up to a 5" swimbait if I want to, and I use the 14 for my jigs as well.
