Also, go with the 2500 or 3000 size.
Agreed. No need for a bigger reel for inshore fishing.
Find a Shimano, Okuma, Penn, or Daiwa in your price range and match it with an All Star, Castaway, or lightning rod. That combo should run you somewhere in the $100-$140 range and will handle everything you encounter.
ETA: This Shimano Sedona 2500 is currently on sale at Academy for $50 and seems to fit what you're looking for. Solid reel at a great price.
ETA2: This H2O XPRESS® Ethos 7' M Inshore Saltwater Spinning Rod is on sale for $50 as well at Academy and seems to be a good poppin-cork rod for inshore.
So there you go, $100 for the combo and two great products. Should set him up well for the foreseeable future. If you want another combo, get the same reel and the H2O XPRESS® Ethos 6'10" MH Spinning Rod which should be able to handle spoons, jig heads, or c-rigging bait on the bottom.

H20 XPRESS
I haven't tried many, but I have tried a few. I just can't get behind the H20 rods. Honestly though, as much as I love Academy, I don't like any of their store brands. I've never had luck with them.
