He picked up something at academy that was 200 for just the rod and we weren't sure if it was junk or not.
Academy sells St. Croix Imperial rods at that price. . . if that was it, then definitely not junk.
If he's just gonna try his luck fly fishing and doesn't want to be in the hole an exorbitant amount of money, it's hard to beat Cabelas 3forks/Prestige combos or RLS+ combo.
Those two reels only go up to an 8wt, but you could buy an extra spool and put a 9wt line on it if you think the 8wt isn't enough. I can't speak for the Prestige reel's drag, as I only have a 5wt, but I have 3 RLS+ reels (3wt, 7wt and 8wt) and have caught numerous bull reds up to 18lbs on the 8wt so can attest to it's disc drag being up to the task.

The 8wt Prestige is a great little set up for the price...especially for a beginner. I had that set up for a bit, given to me as a gift to coax me into fly fishing. It did what it was supposed to.
