Whats' wrong with starter kits? That's what begginers need to start!
My starting kit was from Shakespere so a good quality brand i could trust!

Well i don't know why but it depends on how much the kit is worth. Mine was almost £40 and it was in between average and great. If that was a cheap kit you bought - it's probley why.

Tell you what I see when I look at the pic Luke mate, a stick with hardly any play in it and the potential to snap and leave a fish with line trailing mate ...

cheap or not
cheap gear depends on which bit of tackle your looking at rods have become bargains and its easy to buy good rods from £30-£50
reels are different matter okuma are the cheapest i would consider they are great for the price but in adverse conditions one froze solid overnight where as the shimanos didn't
line always buy best
same as hooks and all rig bits what generally goes for tackle is if its cheaper its normally heavier ie bivvies brolly chairs etc
