Thanks for the information. I had no idea what to expect. If he really wants it he'll buy it himself. I was just trying to be a good wife and cover his Father's Day gift at the same time. He picked up something at academy that was 200 for just the rod and we weren't sure if it was junk or not. So he put it back and said he'd check out Cabela's. I'll check around on eBay. Of course the homeowner for the rental house wants to push the guides...

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.
