2nd, Always take the product back to the shop you bought it from, the shop may not be able to replace it there and then, that is unless the company tells the shop to replace it there and then.
your contract is with the shop, not the supplier. if it isn't fit for purpose then they have the option to replace or repair in a reasonable time. once that reasonable time has passed, you are entitled to a replacement/refund.
so many tackle shops seem to think the consumer credit act doesn't somehow apply to them - or don't actually know there is one!
