These are only my personal favourites but here goes.

On the match rod I would use Drennan double strength.depending on what you fish for,If you fish mainly comercials with few snags then I would go with 4-5lb.

On the quiver rod I would go for Maxima in 5lb.

And for the carp rod I would load up with Diawa Sensor in 12lb.

As I said these are personal favourites and Im sure other people will have their's.

In regards to loading reels If you have deep spools then what I do is to buy a cheap spool of sea fishing mono in 20lb and fill the spool roughly half way then tie the end of the fishing line to the new line and fill to about a 16th of an inch/3mm from the lip of the spool. Alternatively you could use wool wound on tightly to prevent bedding in, or even masking tape will do. If you have reels with match/shallow spools then just wind the line straight on.

If you have trouble loading reels then just do a search and there should be quite a few topics here to help you.

good luck

On my match rod I would use 4lb with a 2lb hook length, but you dont want that, so I guess 3-4lb would do the job all the way to the hook.

 

If going after carp,tench,chub with my match rod I would use 5lb line with a 4lb hook length.

 

With my feeder rod, which I usually go after bream, tench, carp, chub, barble etc I will use anything from 6lb - 10lb.

 

I dont fish for carp much but when I do I use 12lb line.

 

Hope this of some help

On my match rod i use 3lb Maxima.

 

Feeder anything from 6lb to a 4lb hook length to 8lb stright throw.

 

Carp Fishing depends i have a gew spools.10lb ,8lb,12lb 15lb depends on how snaggy/night fishing/how shy the fish are and size of fish targeting.

I use Daiwa Sensor in 12lb, for my carp fishing, and 15lb main line for my pike fishing. Great stuff

I use Drennan Double Strength in 4lb for my match rod & 6lb for feeder fishing. I have Daiwa Sensor in 12lb for the odd bit of carping. I bought and tried (cos it was cheap) some Shimano Beastmaster line. The stuff was like a coiled spring (despite being careful when loading the reel), I can't recommend it.
