carp rod for spinning

i have asked a question like this before but need to know would a carp rod 2lb test work as a spin ron.

I have been told by tackle shops and seen in mags it being used but has anyone out there tried it yet and what it hold up like

POOKIE
A CARP ROD WITH A 2LB TEST WILL BE IDEAL FOR SPINNERS FROM 28 GRAMS UP TO 60 GRAM.DONT BE SCARED TO USE IT FOR FEATHERS AS WELL .GIVEN THAT TEST CURVE IT SHOULD CHUCK A 2 OUNCE BOMB NO PROBS

sorry about caps use again.i never shout really

.......... no I don't shout either, it just does not work.

I use a 2.5 lb test curve carp rod for plugging and shadding! It casts a shad nicely and the rod really is a pleasure to use. Having said that, should I ever hook a double figure bass, I would worry about the rod's structural integrity.
The rod is light and easy to use. It is a Shimano Hyperloop 12 foot.

Why should a rod designed to land 30lb+ carp be unable to land a double figure bass?

Well -- by the rate the rod bends when I have a 6 lb pollack on the end - I would be concerned about a fish some 60% heavier than this.

Where I fish for bass is a rough ground location. I therefore have to keep the fish steady above the snags, this would be difficult with a heavy fish. Whilst my rod might gently lead an over-fished lazy carp over a slimy muddy bottom it is a different kettle of fish playing a sharp witted lively bass over a rocky bottom with many rough edges. Therein lays the sting Viper.
Is my rod really designed for 30 lb carp?

" over-fished lazy carp"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never met one! Any carp i've caught, fight like the blazes. Never caught one that size though.
Have caught salmon up to 18 lb on my 2 lb test curve SKP carp rod. With the reel clutch set properly i had no problems at all. A through action rod looks soft, but has plenty of backbone.
