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.

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?
