So I want to do pier, shore, and surf fishing all in hopes to catch redfish or any medium sized fish.
I haphazardly bought an 8ft UglyStik marketed for catfishing for its medium-heavy rating, but didn't consider the eyelets.
The reel is a Pflueger Pres35.
It's a casting rod paired with a spinning reel, and the first eyelet seems small – is this a significant problem?

While it does technically work, it’ll definitely reduce your casting distance and its far from an ideal set up.
I’m struggling to understand why you would buy a casting rod and a spinning reel.
maybe not ideal but ugly stiks are tanks and that reel is solid too. i’d fish with it anyway and just save up for a proper surf rod if you really get into it.
Yeah, the rod and reel are mismatched.
