I was planning on going with a factory rod just because if the rod breaks you only get a new blank and would have to assume the cost of a new build again.  Also I feel like I'm getting enough bling out of the Kingfisher :)

Going with the factory is a good way to go and it comes with a tube. If it breaks you get a new rod not just a blank!

Got my 3113 with the Kingfisher on Sunday morning and went staight to the Vedder.  My brother got the same set up with the 3106L and both of us couldn't be happier.  The reels are awesome and we both managed to land springs consistantly.  Unfortunately we have yet to land a single coho :( however I'm proud to report that every fish was kooked perfectly in the mouth.  Not sure why but we seemed to have several foul hooked fish on the level winds so we hope the succes of the center pins is a new trend.   ;D
