So confused on what strength or diameter line to pick.

[terrance smith]

Hello,

I have decided to finally buy my own equipment for fishing and I have no idea what line lb to pick or what hooklink strength to pick, I decided on:

Shimano Sienna 4000
Daiwa black widow 12ft 2.75lb test
semi fixed lead clip rig + hair rig
size 8 barbless hooks
Some sort of daiwa sensor for the line.

The thing is that I have absolutely no idea on what lb mainline to get or hooklink, this is the place I will be fishing (mono mainline only):
"varying depths around the lake from 3ft to 7ft, Lily pads, overhanging trees and reed beds"  "This is a general course lake, it has carp to 29lb 14oz, pike to mid doubles, bream, tench, roach, rudd and a few crucians"

Any help and advice would be appreciated.
