I had the $50 combo from academy, it was the blue rod with neon yellow fly line, 5/6 weight. It was good to throw small flies with but any bass or redfish flies were too big to handle. After 2 months the rod tip snapped on me while trying to unsnag the fly from a submerged stick, a tiny stick.
Anyway I returned it and put money towards a baitcaster. I say save your $ and get a setup from orvis. They have some nice ones for around 300 I think and good warranties

I'd argue the advise to buy from Orvis. I have a few of there rods and the charge a premium for their name. For the money temple fork rods are some of the best.
I don't know what rod you got but for just bream and smaller bass it should be fine as long as its a 4-6 weight. For bigger bass fishing with bigger flies you will need something heavier.
