The kit is a good starter but not a great deal.
You can get all the tools at Sportsman's in a wooden box for about $40.00.
The kit that you are looking at includes some materials, which are not all that good and won't tie many patterns.
The vidio would be good though.
I would say that the kit would be worth buying, but plan on getting some other materials and hooks to go with it.
The vidio will tell you what materials you will need for several good patterns.
One thing to remember, is that if you are tying dry flies, you will need some hackles and a good dry neck will cost about $50.00 each. You will probable need at least 3 colors to start with.
You can buy a grade 3 for less money than a grade 1 or 2, but be careful with a grade 3. Some grade 3 necks don't have a lot of good hackles for smaller flies.
If you buy your necks from a fly shop, they will help you pick a neck that will be best for the flies that you want to tie.
I suggest that you start tying nymphs and woolly buggers first, because the materials for them are much cheeper than materials for dry flies.
Good luck and have fun.
