It’s a cheap entry level kit, other than the flies, but for value for money it’s a good deal and will let you get on the water. Flies alone would be at least half of that cost and it looks to have a nice variety for a beginner.
A lot of people say buy a nice rod once, but fly fishing is complicated and not everyone loves it and knows what rod/reel they need right away, so this is a good entry point imo. You can upgrade later when you have a better feel for what rod and reel you’ll need in your area long term.

It’s a steal.
Do you have another rod or are you new?

Flies alone are worth $100
