I highly doubt you'll ever need to use the full 10kg of drag, especially on lighter line like 30lb. 

Yes I know. But just so confused. I’m a rookie.

can only afford for one heavy setup. Don’t want to make it wrong.

It's mainly because if you hook up to a decent fish that you  may need to apply full drag / load. This may mean at times you could be pushing the limits of the Rod rating. In this case you want something "weaker" and cheaper than your rod to break. It most cases this means letting the braid line break to save your rod from breaking.

So if rod is rateinh at 5-10kg, I need to pair with PE main line which is lower than 10kg? And don’t set drag over breaking point of rod which is 10kg? Is that right?

You've just confused the **** out of me as well, If your looking for roughly a 5-10kg rod id recommend a td blac supercasta or any PE1 to about a PE1.5 setup. Paired with this youd want something about 3000-5000. My personal preferance would be a 3000 or 4000 just depending what im targeting but for me i wouldnt go 5000. My 3000 and 4000 would have a PE1.2 braid or 20lb braid. My 5000 would have 30lb or about a PE1.5, Dont worry too much about the drag and rod breaking, if you have a quality rod you wont have any issues. 

Super casts is the one I want to buy!! 5-10kg rod

if I use 30lb PE for this rod, will rod break if I use drag over 10kg?

Hi guys,

I have a few question about drag setting and rod, reel selection. Hope someone can help me.

I know we need to set drag at 25% of breaking point of braid line. But why? Can some one example to me?
 

And , I want to buy a 5-10 kg rod as my heavier gear set up. And it should pair with a 10kg drag reel right? Maybe 4000 or 5000 reel for targeting bigger fish. But some 5000 size reel recommend PE2.5 for 300m. And some good brand PE 2.5is about 19kg test. I’m so confused. Is this right setup?

and the break point of 5-10kg rod is 10kg? Is that means if my drag set as 10kg and mine line is 40kg, the rod will not break?

im so confused. Hopefully  some one can help me.

Thanks mate.  So how about large terble with rope? is it legal?

Hi guys,
