I would try a shorter rod also.
Like the XRA 1321 it is rated 7/8 - 3 or and wont kill you casting it.
as for Sic Guides I like the tips but don't think the guides are worth the money.

If you choose the 1363M cut the tip bact to a #14-16. it will handle the lure sizes you mention better. the most popular rods for the canal are the 1213M fiberglass and Graphite rods XRA 1322 , 1321M , 1201M..
