BPS return policy question

[BigKyd]

Have you considered emailing BPS and asking them. Goober.

I ended up just calling the store yesterday afternoon, they said it wouldnt be a problem.

Now go make a post about how good BPS handles exchanges and returns.

I agree on the rod and reel combos. You can get a Shakespeare outfit with an Ugly Stik for under $30 or a Zebco 33 combo in the same price range but those kiddie combos are mostly toys. However, you can get either the Shakespeare or Zebco with Pink or Pink Camo trim. I got my DIL one like that and she loves it.

Got my daughter the Shakespeare with the ugly stik. Reel didn't make it 3 trips and I was buying a new one. Put a zebco 11 on it and so far so good.

Unfortunately the Ugly Stick was about 90% of the cost of the combo so did not leave much for the reel. I have a couple of 30 yr. old inexpensive Shakespeare reels and they still work like new, but they don't make them now like then. Mine are all metal gears and covers and easy to work on or lubricate. I've had good and bad luck with the Zebcos as well. The best underspin reel I've used is the Pinnacle. It has 4 BB and is pretty smooth, but it cost a bit more than the others.

This was a Zebco, rod and reel both made by Zebco, the reel was a Zebco 33. It was this one right here:
