Best fishing rod for heavy fish?

I’ve been using the Ugly Stik Gx2 for awhile now and it’s been nice but I started fishing at a spillway recently with much bigger fish and my line has snapped multiple times. I’m going in this weekend to get thicker line but was wondering if I should upgrade my rod as well, and if so, what would you recommend?

What is the line rating of your rod? go up to the max no more.

How big of fish are you talkin. I would say your pole is fine. I used 30 lb trilene big game on my pole like that with a baitcaster just adjust your drag. I use the heavier line four brush and rocks. But then again everybody has their own way of doing things
