Fantastic chatter bait rod, first ark reel and I have to say I do thoroughly enjoy it, there’s a reason the b hittay is on back order well worth it thank you guys
This reel has a super smooth cast as well as the retrieve, It feels great on the hand and it’s very light weight. I paired up with a Tharp series B-Hittay rod. I’m very pleased with my purchase from ARK.😎🤘
You can feel the quality the moment you hold the Gravity 5 in your hands! It works a little different from other bait casters so take the time to dial it in and once you’re done you will find it casts a mile! Highly recommend this product! This reel needs to have its spool tension set tighter than you normally would on other bait casters. If you don’t set the spool tensioner tighter the brakes will seem underpowered but all you need to do is adjust the spool tensioner!
While the reel is very good, it's brakes are underpowered. Even at max settings with a strong cast with a moderate weight (3/4 to 1oz) it will backlash and lose lures.
Best rod and reel I’ve ever owned!
