Your Questions About Fly Fishing Bait Fish Patterns

Stripers, trout, and ugly sticks!?

I live in Texas, and the nearest trout stream is the stocked Guadalupe river. Now in winter I am probably going fly fishing there, but I also want to get stripers that are stocked in the lake above which swim through the canyon lake dam. I want to order a trout patterned cl8 bait Cb 5, but my bass rod might be too small. It says it can throw baits up to 3/4 oz. but the Cb 5 is 9/10 oz.. Can it still throw it ok? I’m pretty new to swimbaits, and the only one I’ve ever used was a small bluegill ( which is why I don’t get the cb-9). I’m pretty sure I’ll be the first swimbait fisherman in the Guadalupe because we never use trout swimbaits. It should completely kill the stripers, but can my rod hold it? Also how does the cb-5 work, is it good?
My rod is medium action and 7′ long
