I cant see why you couldn't use that rod seems fine for the job, have used daiwa rods for years spinning and plugging and hav a similiar rod at the moment myself works just fine, it seems light enough to spin with and i'd say it'll handle your plugs too.

I have the Daiwa Wilderness myself.

But I have cast the Osprey and it's a cracking rod.

You've got mail ... but I think you might know more about bass marks in Wexford than I do. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!

congratulations Pete your opening up a whole world of pain, but i must say its the most enjoyable way to fish in the summer time light gear and finding some great marks in the process...

are there any recommendations for lure rods (for bass plugging) for multiplier users? I was thinking of the Berkley 8' lightning. Anyone ever used one?
