I could fish all those just fine on 12#
I use 17 for spinner/buzzbaits, 12 for crankbaits and flukes and 14 for creature baits texas rigged. I'm also one of the rare people that still use mono. I don't fish super clear water, and after trying several different kinds of flouro, haven't found any advantage to it for how I fish.
1) Spinner/ Buzz bait - 15#
2) Crank bait - 12#
3) Creature/ Fluke - 15#

What type of water and cover are you fishing?
Spinnerbait = 40 lb braid. I don't do that other stuff.
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
1) 12 or 14 #
2) 10#
3) 12 or 14#
These would be my choices for most of my fishing but I might go heavier depending on cover. All three Berkley Trilene mono.

If the water is stained and not very clear I would up my lb test. Especially fishing around wood and rocks. The fluorocarbon line diameter is so small nowadays allows you to go larger and it’s still smaller than what we fished years ago. A 20lb line 15 years ago looks like rope compared to the 20lb line of today.
Small diameter braid for all except with a fluorocarbon leader for the fluke. Good strike detection and hooksets at the start of the strike are essential.
1- 20 braid
2- 12 floro for deep TOOOO 20 mono for squarebills no one size fits all
3- fluke?

16# Sniper FC
or braid of varying test 8-10-20-30-40
10# for pretty much all except for spinning but I only catch dinks.
16, 12, 16 for me. I'll step up to 16 when throwing a square bill shallow. Sniper on all three. #1 and #3 I'll commonly throw on 40-50lb braid to that 16 lb leader, cranks I always throw straight fluoro.
