Gino, rods are for fishing, poles are for strippers.

Sasha, most rods are rated for the lightest line they could handle through the heaviest... the tip is light enough for the bottom of the rating and the butt has enough back for the high end. Most good rods are best in the middle of that rating so a 20-50# rod is best for 30#. Most cheaper rods are only good at the lowest rating. Some of the better high tech graphite rods can be fished comfortably above the top of their rating.
