What is a hook line?

My rod says it has a recomended hookline of 1.5lb to 6lb, is this the main line or the weaker line with the hook and bait on?

EDIT: its a feeder rod if that is any help

Its the mainline, this gives you an indication of how much pressure the rod is designed for

As it starts with the word 'Hook' I would have thought that Hookline: is the line that your hook is tied onto (more commonly known as the 'Hooklength').
Otherwise it would say 'Reel-Line' or 'main-line'; wouldn't it?.

A lot of coarse rods state the maximum and minimum hooklengths that they can comfortably cope with.
