You could pair 8 lb invizx with 10 lb PP. I believe that it is pretty common. No buyer's remorse that way.
Matching diameters is more important with a uni to uni knot. It matters much less with an Alberto.
I am experiencing a similar shutdown in lower Michigan. Downsizing has brought in a few fish, but I can't hook up with anything consistently. Last night it seemed like there were no bass in the lake.
I go as light as possible. 1/8 and 3/16 oz are my usual t-rig weights. A windy day calls for more weight.
I also go light with jigs. I recently got some 1/4 oz Siebert jigs for fishing shallow. I like them.
I've just been dropping mine in their own spaces in a Plano 3701. Seems ok so far. I try to air them out first to avoid putting them away when they're very wet.
One of my swim jigs stood up to a cat attack earlier. Top notch products.
I just use my ML 7' St. Croix. Steelies won't break your rods. Kings, yes. Kings are jerks.
I think guys around here just drift spawn or skein under a balsa float. The 8'6" rods are good for that. I mostly throw spoons and various rapalas, mostly Huskies and Flat Raps.
