I've never used the bass pro shops reel. A lot of them store brand rods and reels are actually made by big name manufacturers. They just print the store's name on it. Don't let my issues steer you away from an Abu Garcia. Abu makes a good product. I know a lot of people with the 5601 reel and never had an issue with it. I'm just not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what the heck is going on.
