Correct, the average match rod will be less than a pound, an avon type rod will be around 1 1/4, barbel rods 1 1/2, and carp rod generally start at 2lb.
Whilst most match type rods are not rated by test curve some do have reel line and hook line strengths applied to them again the heavier the line the stronger the rod.
