No problem with a 10-20lbs rod, more importantly is what type of lure/lure weight and line weight you will be using. Consider getting a rod length that suits your casting distance and preferrably getting a lightest rod possible so you can be comfortable with cranking the lure all day. :D

by lightest my dear friend meant mass of your fish rod. not light weight line measured in terms of pounds. lbs. nor light lure weight.

indeed, mass of a luring rod coupled with a light weight reel mass is most appropriate for long hours luring. logically, non would walked some 1 hour of track to reach ground so as to lure for another hour or less. due, tired after an hour of casting. it would be a pity.

light weight rod i highly recommend shiman scimitar roughly $53 or less. changi pro. very nice action too. most suitable for freash water luring. ;)

I usually use ReliX coral star rod with Shimano Alivio 1000 reel for light luring or jigging, but is this setup suitable?

For light luring, it's probably enough. But if you happen to encounter an aggressive biggie, you may not want to wait too long to go all out on the fish.

floating lures are designed to be light. why would you want to add weights to it?

you might want to try surfcae cruiser? they are heavier i think yet they float. though i never use surface cruiser before. :D

It's difficult not to alter the function of the lure when you add even a little weight to it. If it's casting distance you want to improve on, try using using lines that offer ultra thin diameter:strength like the Berkley Whiplash. If the lure is ultralight, using a spinning setup helps, coupled with a long rod and you'll get some extra distance straight away.
