The 1209 starts at 4oz and you can go up from there. I think you could just barely feel 3 oz on that rod. The Allstar 1208 is better for the lower jig ranges up to 5oz. but for Guerilla jigging (as I have heard it called) the 1209 fits the bill. I guess you will need to determine what weight jigs you really plan on using in the canal.
I was there tonight putting in a little pratice casting myself.
