The line strength on your rod is just a guide to get the best balanced gear. There is nothing to stop you using 50lb line on the rod, but you would never be able to pull with 50lb of force with that rod.I have a Shakespeare agility 2 flattie rod and on the cover it says maximum line 12lb would it be ok to use 20lb braid? Or would the rod snap?
All replies greatly appreciated.
Great minds Bacon! We were typing at the same time.12lb rating is what the manufacturer reccomends if you wanted to have balanced tackle that's all
