I really like the reel. However after a while the drag clicker stopped working. I've taken the reel apart a few times to fix it and the piece of metal that makes the clicking noise is constantly popping out of it's track. No matter what I do it will not stay after I put it back together. I've submitted a warranty submission over a month ago with no reply. Pretty poor customer service imo. I would not recommend just based on the lack of customer service and what seems to be a poorly designed drag clicker in the reel.
I may have broken the reel. It doesn’t seem to work very well. I used a weedless worm and it may have been too heavy for the reel.
I am going to try to return it.
Thanks
Just wish I was a little more confident using it in salt. Besides that, it’s smoother than my curado and cast lighter
Let me preface this with saying I am a long time higher end Shimano user. The Ark gravity bfs performs up there with some of my reels that cost over double the amount. The reel is very light, comfortable in the hand and the breaking system is shockingly good. This reel is stellar in function. Does it feel as high end and as buttery smooth as some of competitors high dollar reels…no, but it’s performance in casting and breaking is right there with them. I would definitely recommend this reel. It’s a winner!
Love Ark products
