Then wait a few more days and bring it back and get you a Falcon or something that they will replace with less questions

I have brought shimano's, Falcons, etc. to academy in LC and every time they replace no questions asked, and I have never had a receipt.

Acadamey must let store Mgrs set policy? One day no problems returning anything next time they won't even think about it.

Yeah, and he told me if it was All Star he would take it back because it's their store brand now and everything else is done thru the MFG. I know that's BS because i know people return rods all the time.

Agree total crap now.... And ditto on the amb caffery location... THey would not take back my all star rod (had receipt)... All star wanted me to pay a 20$ processing fee and no guarantee they would replace the rod... The rod broke first trip out while setting the hook! Never again will I buy an All Star rod
