Not to be a wise-ass but....it would depend on what you are targeting.
that being said I wouldn't consider the setup above light tackle for Stripers....maybe for tuna, but not stripers.
I use a 7 ft. st croix rated at 4-8 lb test 5/8 oz lure w/ a penn captiva....and I've taken fish to 12 lbs on it...now if i hooked up to a 40 lb striper...that would be light tackle....but not for the spring schoolies I target with it
