I guarantee if u speak to the supervisor/manager, u can get refunded and if u want ur chances to increase in bass pro letting u return it, ask for store credit. if they see u are going to spend money there, they will be more willing to letting u return it.
once u have gotten store credit, I would save up another 50 bucks and get the Shimano Caenon. ur asking for small problems if u decide to spend 50 bucks on a baitcaster.
finally, stay away from most bass pro branded items. they are not constructed as well as they market their equipment to be. I had to learn the hard way as well
but yeah, don't take that 30 day crap either. if they say it again, just ask them if they are essentially saying that their reels only have a life span of 30 days and whether customers are aware of that fact. say it loud enough so that people hear it. I guarantee ull get a refund or store credit.
