I haven't had the opportunity to land anything yet with trout season still here in NorCal. However its also getting closer to bass season so im eagerly waiting. My G2 is seated on the Wes Logan Literally Anything rod & spooled with 12lb fluoro. With the Ark custom reel seat, it sets the G2 lower so it gives the angler a better feel or control. A solid build for $99. Sits comfortably in hand which will translate to a much more pleasurable experience while on the banks or boat. I feel less fatigued. Internal brakes are completely different from what I'm used to seeing but easy to understand & adjust as needed. Consistent solid drag. Smooth right out the box. Even smoother with a dab of lube. I will give you a better review when a fish gets landed. Hopefully a PB on this setup comes soon.
reel throws well and feels really smooth haven't got to use it much
Very smooth easily adjusted and very precise adjustments
Bought 2 of these and paired them up with the Cobb 7’ kitchen sink. I can’t say enough good about them both. I have always used A. Garcia but since trying ARK I have a new favorite and will probably try the Gravity 8 next.
