What is the Warranty on Fishing Rods, Reels, and Other Merchandise?

Rod & Reel Warranty

Bass Pro Shops & Cabela's brand rods and reels are warranted for one (1) year from the date of purchase against defects in materials, workmanship, and against breakage under normal fishing conditions, to the original purchaser. This warranty is void if the rod or reel is in an abused or misused condition and does not cover "normal wear and tear." A dated proof of purchase is required for warranty validation.

The following brand rods are warranted for ten (10) years:  Johnny Morris Platinum Signature, Johnny Morris Signature Series, Johnny Morris CarbonLite 2.0 and Johnny Morris Patriot.

While Browning Fishing is not a Bass Pro or Cabela's brand, we do offer a one (1) year warranty on these items.

Rods and reels manufactured by other companies need to be returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement under warranty after 60 days from date of purchase.

Footwear/Wader Warranty

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's proprietary brand footwear carries a one (1) year warranty against manufacturer defects on boots, shoes, and waders. This is a limited warranty and does not cover normal wear and tear.

Other Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's Branded Merchandise

Our proprietary brand merchandise carries a one (1) year warranty against manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. 

Other Merchandise

After 60 days from the purchase date, all electronics that are covered by the manufacturer's warranty should be returned to the manufacturer. Items not covered by manufacturer's warranty may be returned (with proof of purchase) on an inspection basis only.

NOTE: Merchandise covered by the manufacturer's warranty must be sent directly to the manufacturer for replacement or repair.
