I grabbed the buy one get one free deal and got two gravity 8 reels. I put a mono backer on and 20 lb braid suffix 832 with a 12 lb fluoro leader and a 1/2 oz jig. Casing it on a 7ft 3 inch MHF. I started with the internal break on 3 external on 30. Could not get it to backlash no matter how hard I casted. I did not get a backlash until 1/8 and even then it was minor. The reel is smooth and fits in hand very well I have large hands. I was very impressed with this reel it exceeded my expectations. The only thing left to see is it going to last. I fish a lot for an enthusiast and hope the reel will stand up. Just can’t give it 5 stars until I use it more.
Very happy so far if they ladt me a year I will be perfectly satisfied.
I have tried several brands of reels over the past 10 years and when I tried these Ark reels I fell in love! I have ended up trading all my set ups to Ark ! I have 2 /G8, 3/G7 ,aG5,G2, and BFS! I have tried all brands like Lews, Curado Dc,Diawa zillion,SLX DC,and kastking Zephyr bfs. I sold them all and switched everything to Ark.
And I can tell you by far the G8 is the best Casting reel that I have ever owned!!!
I only have 2 at the G8s, and now I regret only getting 2!!! I am considering getting rid of all of my others to switch to the G8s!
Very smooth reel, great drag, virtually no backlashes, cast a mile!!! I was shocked how far it casts (farther than Curado and zillion) , very lightweight, very comfortable in the hand overall, I can’t think of one complaint with this reel.(well only thing I would think that would push it over the edge of all the other reels would be to design a T-wing !)
If you’re thinking about an overall great product, skip all the other models and go straight for the 8, you won’t be sorry .
Great reels. Very smooth, quiet action and compact size. Super long casting reel and rarely backlashes once the brake is properly set for the lure weight. I liked it so much I bought 5 more! I owned several of the JM Platinums over the years, good reels but they won’t throw a lure downtown like these!
Great reel! Extra smooth and lightweight. Ive been replacing my Curados with these instead!
