Lake Waneka Fly Fishing Carp

Is this a good fly rod/ reel combo for a beginner?

I dont have very much money but I still really want to learn how to fly fish. I am thinking about buying the Martin Fly Fishing Rod & Reel Combo - 8' Rod for $38. Is this a good rod and reel combo for a beginner or is harder to use because its so cheap.
What other inexpensive combos would you recommend for a beginner fly fisherman?

Any rod and reel you buy cheap just to see if you like the sport is worth it. Lets say you went and spent 300 dollars on a rod and reel and didnt like it now your stuck with an expensive rod and reel.. In the begin keep it simple keep it fun till you find out if you like the sport and if you do then go BIG.
