Thought the exact same thing...4 lb could be light tackle for summer stripers depending where you fish...15 lb could be light tackle at other times...I don't know much, but I'd consider light tackle lighter line than the average size of the fish I'm targeting. Anyone can horse a 5 lb rockfish in on 15 lb line, but a 40 lber on 15 lb line is a different story. Completely situationally dependent.
When I liveline, I use an ultralight rod with 4 lb test, but I don't consider it light tackle because the next 4 lb spot I catch will be my last!
Good thread though, I like it cause it's fishing related!
