My hesitation is with that amount of weight and continous casting of that weight has the potential to break the rod! Is my assumption correct?

Or better yet if you can kindly tell me what you would use for bottom fishing with a 3 way swivel to catch silver bass, white perch etc., (Rod and Reel combo)?

The rod ratings for lure weight and for line class are the "optimum" numbers for that particular rod design. Using lure weights with lines of the recommended class will give you the best OVERALL performance. However you can go outside these values within reason. Using a 1 ounce sinker wont be a disaster in the making. Ponder this: do you plan to catch fish over 1 ounce in weight?

See you on the river.
