Help please:

There are so many people using the reels differently with huge swings in the top shots. Can somebody give me the layout for this line of reels? For example, the 8 is a solid 30 lb with light 40 applications due to limited line. I know it depends on length of top shot and where one is fishing, so lets assume lr/sd with 50 foot top shots. I am getting overload on the reels! Thank you again for the help!

I'd put it at 40-50, with the Andros preferred as the 30# piece.
