I have a MF spinning combo with about 4” broken off the tip, and a MH BC combo in good condition. I am wondering if it is ok for me to use my spinning combo for all soft plastics and my BC combo for everything else. If not, I’ll gladly take any suggestions. The reason I want to do this is because I really struggle retying lures without taking forever, so I only tie directly to the hook on soft plastics and I use a snap swivel on my BC for everything else.

All i use most of the time is Texas Rig on spinning combos, some of my rods has braid others fluro carbon between 7 - 8 lbs 

 

For my other baits, cranks, frogs, etc i have one BC combo

   You'll have to invest in a new tip-top (they're not much) to find out whether the rod is still usable. I would guess that yes, it is. Maybe not fantastic, but usable. That would be the best combination for rods to give you the best power of the BC and the best finesse of the spinning.    jj
