Am not sure about that make scotty but I cant see why not,
I bought a Berkeley B4 carp rod last year for spinning and it's great think it's got a 3lb test curve.
Seen a few lads using carp rods, great for Flickn lures our a decent distance

Carp rods are a bit heavy to be casting for a long time.
If you want a canny spinning rod have a look at these.

Cracking video that mate strong rod that like,

The carp rod I've got is really light, the heaviest part of casting for a long time is the weight of my reel (shimano 6000)

carp rods will do the job in faxct i have a 3lb test one i use as a long rod for heavy spinning and bigger fish.

but they arnt meant to be held all the time. they are designed to rest in pods until a fish turns up so are tip heavy compared to good spinning rods.

if your going to be spinning or using lures for a whole session then a good quality ... balanced .. spinning will be a lot nicer to use.

but if a carp rod is all you have ........ it will get you fishing.

I got a spinning rod for 20 quid last year Scotty, my son snapped my spin rod so needed a quick cheap replacement. I got a shakespeare alpha X 10' rod 30-90gram at reelsport, I think its an alright rod though no good for lighter lures.
