looking at a couple of my rods yesterday I was looking at the recomened BS line to use one was 3lb-6lb the other 5lb-9lb and I wondered why not just put the max bs line to use
for example the 5-9lb bs rod was a barbel rod and I can see why the manufactuerer put 9lb as max so no one would put 20lb line on it break it and claim they didn't know but 5-9lb - what's to stop me using it with a reel of 3lb line if I want - it would not effect the rods performance
