No further proof needed that you do not know what you are doing. Sounds like you have the dreaded CRS.
Seriously, What will you be fishing for with 2 lb line?
IMO, line breakage will not be the problem if fished properly. No jaw breaking hooksets regardless of what rod you use. Casting distance may suffer. If you have a good drag system on the reel you should be able to handle some nice fish.
Rods vary among manufacturers. Most ML action rods I have held are a little stiff to suite me. I was at Big Rock market at CH yesterday and picked up a ML Fenwick and to my surprise it felt very similar to my Light action Falcon. Only $59.
You have nothing to lose by trying what you already have.
If you need a guide just call me. I will leave my jinx at home.
