TX Rocky angler 84

First time using this forum. I have only been fishing for about 3 years mainly LM bass, sand bass,crappie. I have a couple of bait casting rod and reels both MH/Fast action using braid line.As I am sure everyone can relate, once you start getting into fishing you want to start expanding you arsenal $$$. I recently bought a JM carbon lite 2.0 combo Rod (7.0 Meduim /Moderate) Reel (8.3.1) as I wanted to get a different set up.I am wondering what is the best type of line and lures to use on this Rod/Reel combo??? As I have done some research and I am getting conflicting information! Some say only use PolyC line and crank baits some say braid line with light jigs, others say Mono with spinners. I am having trouble deciding the best way to set this up to be the most versatile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
