Centerpin rods have a softer action that helps prevent reel overruns.
You won't find many rods south of the border, but Ted's in Lynnwood may have them, or access to them.
If you want to make a road trip (particularily if you're going to fish the Vedder) try Fred's.

Another great tackle shop is Berry's.

Centerpin combos are a fun way to fish floats, but are not as efficient as level winds for bottom bouncing.
