Can’t say enough good things about the Gravity BFS reel. Very high quality design and amazing breaking system. It was easier to setup with fluorocarbon than my DC reels and a lot less learning curve. Drag clicker is a wonderful touch that I hope to see incorporated into all bait cast reels. Drag system works very well, my second fish on this reel was a 4LB largemouth on only 3LB FC Sniper line.
So I bought this reel not even a month ago and when I first got it I thought it was way to difficult to dial in and even after I would it would easly birdsnest and today as I’m fishing I tossed it up the bank and I get up there and pick it up my whole side plate is gone and my spool too i was never able to find my side plate even after 20 minutes the side plate should not be falling off like that so now I have a useless peice of plastic
There is a latch on the sideplate to lock it to the frame. If it is unlatched, the sideplate will fall off. During fishing, there should be line on your spool and going through the guides of the rod while with a bait tied on the other end of your line which should keep your spool in position without falling into water. So we are not sure how the pool did fall out there but we would love to know if there is something we did not know about. However, we understand that accident happens. Please feel free to contact us for parts you would need and we will be more than happy to share with you how to adjust the spool.
Small line capacity. Not a real smooth reel.
Good
Ark rocks my fishing world!
