I have an idea to attach a small spinning reel abu silver max 5, to an ugly stik 7'6" medium light casting reel (which I already own), to fish sub 10 gram lures and live bait. Anyone see a major problem with this? (I am trying to save the expense of buying a dedicated spinning rod, since I already own the baitcasting rod.

A lighter rod would probably throw the lure a bit further, but it won't hurt to give it a go. You may want to go for heavier than you would with a light rod. Give it a go - a lure in the water will catch many more fish than one in its case.– user5330Commented Jul 23, 2017 at 9:35

Typically as far as spinning/casting goes, not very good to mix the two. I would go to Walmart and buy a $20 spinning rod. The eyelits are extremely different and trying to use the wrong style reel usually doesn't pan out very well.

Also, the spines of the two rod types are in different positions. Commented Nov 16, 2017 at 21:12
