I must be a light line junky i guess.

I fish an 11'6" 4-10 ist or 11'6" 8-12 xst Rainshadows and a curado 201e7....Never any heavier than 10lb power pro or sufix 832 (love this stuff btw) and 10 or 8lb leaders.
My spinning setup is an 11'6" 8-12 xst Rainshadow, which is my centerpin rod, but I stick the spinning reel on it when I'm not having a good day with the pinner. Or my actual spinning rod is a 10'6" 4-8 rogue which fishes a little heavier, more like a 6-10 rated rod

That's my everything setup. Including kings in any water conditions. I've never felt the need to fish heavier. There's a few times throughout the season I get my butt kicked hard by a king....but I see guys fishing 4x heavier having harder times fighting fish than me.

I don't necessarily dislike fishing heavier than these setups. I just grew up fishing noodle rods a lot, so I've just learned to love light line fishing
