This is an excellent budget reel. Wouldn't put it on a frog rod and abuse it.... but for shallow cranking it's plenty good for building out your arsenal.

I really want to get into fishing. Haven't done it since a boy with my pops. Any sites you can recommend that are great resources on equipment, such as reviews, ratings and community feedback?

Reddit has a good fishing for beginners community. I find it useful. You can search your question or ask.
Also I would say, get a spinning combo so that you don't have to catch up on a lot

Skip this deal and look at combos. See you have a friend who will go out with you. Just bring some gas money for the trip.

YouTube has an immense amount of great content as well. however the resources depend on what type of fishing you plan on doing. freshwater or saltwater? will you be fishing from the shore? do you plan on catching fish to eat or are you just looking to catch and release for the sport of it?
also as someone else recommended, get a spinning reel instead. these baitcaster reels, especially for beginners, are prone to backlash or what they call "birdsnest" which is where the reel lets out too much line and it causes an absolute mess which will make you hate fishing. you'll spend more time untangling the mess than you will actually fishing.
my first rod/reel was a Daiwa spinning reel on an Ugly Stick rod and it's lasted over 15 or so years without any issues at all. the Ugly Sticks are great for beginners because they are essentially indestructible.
