I need some help from you guys so please peruse this posting and see if you can help.
I have recently started fishing again after several years absence due to ill health, when I last fished it was on what I call traditional waters as opposite to Commercial Fisheries.
On resumption of my fishing I realise that these Commercial waters are more suited to my requirements, ie Car parking and most are relatively flat.
I have updated my Pole equipment, ie elastics, power tips and such like.
Whilst retreiving my other rods from the loft I relaised how much I had forgotten about this sport/pastime of ours.
My problem is this, what B/s line to use with the following rods.
Shakespeare Boron Mach 2, 13 foot and the action is described as
A-20

Shakespeare Sigma three tip "Wand" Action A-10

Silstar Kevlar Dia Flex 12' Twin Tip Feeder Rod Action Light to Medium.

All the above are little used and two are over 20 years old, I would appreciate any help any one could give me on the maximum Breaking Strain Line I could use on them, the last thing I need is to finish up with a pile of carbon shards in my swim.
