In '99 for just over $400, I got a 9ft 9/10wt, Redington rod medium action (they said it has a lifetime warranty), and a Tioga reel with two filled spools one for medium line one for sinking.
This rod is battle tested on the shore and boat, it has held up very well for me.
I use the sinking line 99% of the time.
Good Luck.
