Hello and welcome.
Ok, just so you know- I bought that Cabelas combo when
it was on sale ($99.99) as my second rod and reel set up. It was 8wt for muskie and big bass. The rod was WAY too soft and the reel broke when I was putting backing on it. Cabelas replaced the reel.
As a starter set up, yes sure , you will get a lot of stuff for
little money. Just remember it is a STARTER set up. With
time you want something better then that.
Now I have better rods and reels (Sage, TFO, G Loomis)
and I can tell the difference. Would I buy that Cabelas
combo now- No way. Would I tell someone new to fly
fishing to get one ? Well, sure just remember it is...........
Just my 2c.
P.S: Please feel free to ask anything you like. There are
some GREAT people here .
