Here's the deal, it's me with my questions again. Well the issue is, I bought a Shimano Compre 6'6" Medium 2 piece rod last week. After using it two times I noticed something was weird with it and it didn't look right. So I'm going to ask you guys what you think about it. The part where it holds the reel is now not in it's original place and causing it to slant in an angle. The top part of the cork is pressed so hard that it shrunk because the bottom part popped off. Please I need some opinions guys, should I go back to BassPro shops and ask for a exchange for something that is constructed better or am I just picky? I used it only two times! I'm afraid it might cause me problems later. Cheers, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I took it back and got a new one, I hope it doesn't happen again. Now I'm looking for a bait caster.

Did Bps give you any trouble exchanging it?
