The Teremar series of shimano >8' is pretty nice for throwing irons. I sometimes use mine for flylining macks or tossing big hammers as well. I have an Avet sx on mine with Magic cast, but now that I'm more comfortable with throwing bait casters, I've been using my Abu Garcia Alphamar 20 on it.

If you're looking for something light weight, I would absolutely use a 6'6" Shimano Trevala 50-100lb with a Saragosa 4000F (it's a spinning set up)

It so light weight, throws Tady 4/0, 9's, 7x and any iron for MILES and it stiff enough to flyline swim baits for hali or YT. When I first moved to SD, people down at the shores looked at me like I was high when I paddled out with trevala spinning set ups. No joke, these could pull 50# class YT out of kelp no problem. I've landed Mahi and football tuna with them.

It's hard to classify any set up as all around when you talk about throwing irons and fly lining. Completely different beasts. But if I HAD to have one set up for both, go for a set up that can throw iron better than flylining baits, as opposed to a set up that fly lines better than it throws irons. If that makes sense....

Hope that help, disregard my typos..... I've had a bit to drink lol
