If you are talking Sage 4120 and 4100, both are good for the Thompson ,but a bit too heavy for the Vedder and Chehallis.

I use a rod rated 10-20 for both the Thompson, Vedder and Chehalis and never had any type of problem. For the Thompson, most of te fish are jacks and if you can apply side pressure and turn them around and stop the bigger ones from getting into the rapids you won't have a problem either.

My 3113mb handles Thompson springs no problem. There will always be the odd fish that finds its way into the heavy water that ends up breaking you off but I honestly don't believe a heavier rod would help in that case. Some days you just have to throw your hands up in the air and accept that these are exceptionally powerful fish on an exceptionally powerful river.
