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.

I have an 8020 and I'll say that's it's more a 25# rod than 20#. I don't believe there is enough backbone there for a true 30#. It doesn't mean you can't fish it that way, it's just not ideal...
