I have used my Calcutta 700s / G-Loomis 1267C 10'6" MF.
To the Back Beach's a couple of times, It work's awesome for Plugs,Tin's & jigs.but I found that w/eels it was a kind of a hinderance.Eel size was a factor plus when flipping eels the drag they would cause(eels) would also cause frequent backlases.

Also I got dunked a couple of time @ the beach and sand granules got wedged between my spool and frame witch cause cosmetic damage to my spoole.don't foget about the weep holes that conventional reels have so they are subject to what ever can fit in them.....

The Past two years I've been using a St Croix 10 w/ a Fin-Nor 16a w/50# powerPro. lite pole but matched up w/ a Very heavy reel it works great.
This year I bought a 9'St Croix and put my 12A Fin-Nor w/50#power Pro also just as effective, but much lighter.

If IM going to just use eels I will bring the Spining gear,but If I was to go at dusk or dawn & throw artificials I would go w/ conventional outfit.Then again if I had a sticker I would bring all three

Good luck on your choice!!
