Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post - Rod Line Rating Question

Racksticker · 11-14-2014, 03:18 PM

I found a killer deal on 1/2 price Seeker Stealth rods and bought 3.

I now have two Model #8020 CT's, Deckhand/Jigstick version. The website states they are line rated for 20lb test, and show 15-25 line rating stamped on the rod.

The rod seems like it has enough strength to run 30lb line, but I am no expert. Anyone know if these rods can run line outside the line class rating, ie... 30lb line and function well ?

Unfortunately they were out of the #8030 CT, or I would have bought one.
