if it was me it would depend what your CP setup is if you allready have the 2 weight I would choose the 3106 if your CP is a 3 I would go with the 2106  to give you flexibility.

what size Luna did you get? as that will also be a factor.

what weight of line do you plan to use?

Unless you got the Mini Luna, I would suggest the 3106.  I have a Rainshadow that is pretty much the same as  the 3113's I have had matched with my Luna and I love it. ;)

How much did you pay and where did you get it.  Just waiting for my Kingfisher to come in and was hoping to get a 3113 too.

I too have the sage 3113, one drift and a centre pin  ;D . I had them both built by Peter about 6-7 years ago at Fred's but unfortunatly he's no longer there. Back then you have to get them custom built and Perter was the only person that did all the rod building at Fred's and he was the best there hands down.....
They are awesome rods and you'll have fun catching salmon for years to come.

For fishing the Vedder would the 3106 L be better considering that the 3113 is not available in a L only an M???

The last time i spoke to him was this summer and he's heading to Nelson ( or the interior) for work. He's a carpenter by trade. He does beautiful fly tying also..... You will see some of his creations at Pacific Anglers by the cashier, it's the epoxy chironomids and minnow patterns.

The 3106L will not handle bigger springs too well. The 3113M will be fine for the chedder system as it can handle a bigger fish if needed, yet it will still bend nice for a smaller fish like a 5lb jack spring.


The 3113MB will handle all species of salmon, wheather big or small the action on the rod is great. Did you or are you going to purchase a factory rod or have one custom built??? I've heard some fishermans have ordered their blanks from the Sage factory and looked for a rod builder to put the rod together just because off the "bling" that they like to have. Examplies like the reel seat, corks and titanium guides....

my 2 cent...

The 3113 is a good all around rod that will handle springs quite nicely, but also has a soft flexability to make for fun times with cohos and steelhead. It's my favorite rod right now. I used it on thew weekend and it handled the springs quite nicely.
