I'm not familiar with that rod, but a 9' should be fine as long as it has the backbone to throw the bait and weight out to where the fishes are. Your best bet for tackle would be to go into a local tackle shop and ask them what the recommend for the type of fishing you are planning on doing. Spend a couple bucks and they will usually be very helpful. It probably would be a good idea to bring your rod and reel in so they know which direction to steer you. Hope this helps a bit and post pics when you land some fish.
