The 1209 can do just about anything, except throw a light plug. I jig the canal with mine, and throw 9" storm shads all the time at the ditch. They work great, don't know how many 20# fish they have caught, along with schoolies. Don't worry, a hungry fish will eat that with no problem.

I have used both the 9" Tsunami And 9" Storm with great success.
Couple of points: They are heavy (about 6.5 oz) so cast with care. I use them in places with very decent current running (ie: any place you might think of using a 4 oz or bigger bucktail). They do produce; all last fall when the large bunker and shad were the bait, the 9" plastics were the ticket. Pearl Shad & Bunker patterns seemed to be the best. Tsunami's seem to be more durable, but the Storm has a profile that looks more like a bunker.

Thats great. I have a 10' St Croix and I hope that will hold up. Thank goodness the weather cleared up...I havent been fishing for a week and am itching to get out!

I would consider cutting off the back hook. Using them in the canal the tail hung up on that hook more often than knot.
