| 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.
