Mono for me is Trilene XT. 14LB-20LB.
Flourocarbon Berkley 100% Professional Grade in 17 or 20lb.
I still prefer mono for spinnerbaits, topwater.
I use flouro for cranks, jigs and worms.
However, I used 12lb flouro for worms and didnt like it. I wont use less than 15lb for worms where I fish.
If you are fishing Fork or Falcon, I wouldnt go less than 17lb. test.

Thanks for all the answers everyone, looks like it is a lot of personal opinion on the different types of line/weight but I did see a lot of similar situations, I need to decide which rods I am going to use for which situations and spool them with the appropriate line.
I appreciate all the help.

Duo don't use glass beads and tungsten with a clicker between
The tunsten will chip the glass and will cut the line
If you have to use a plastic bead
