There was a pretty cool article in either Big Game Journel or Marlin Magazine that predicted that rod technology was the next thing to change.

Their premise was that spectra braid was a technological paradym shift in the industry. Spectra has dramatically changed the reel industry to supply smaller reels capable of handling the torque supplied by "heavier" line classes.

For example, an Avet JX strung with 50 pound braid is mismatched on any modern 30-80 class rod. So rods are now the "weakest" link....Rods will become stronger and with smaller diameters and be able to throw the thinner line more effectively....
