Got the Ark Gravity BFS reel in and tried it out on the water, Smooth as silk. Now looking for some spare spools so I can play with different line type setups.
Honestly I have the Shimano Curado bfs, this Ark reel cast lighter baits further without even getting used to it. Looks and feels amazing too!
Outstanding reels at an awesome price.I'm primarily a bass fisherman, throwing 1/16 - 1/4 oz lures. These reels do everything I ask of them & come back for more! They're lightweight, smooth &, once dialed in, cast like a rocket! I'm so impressed by them that I now own 7 of them!
Like many, this was my first taste of BFS equipment. I can gladly say I have not put it down since I received it. I took advantage of the Black Friday deal BOGO and ordered two reels. Those two reels have since been my workhorses. I use them for anything as low as 1/16th and above and it has handled 3 pounders with ease (and a lot of fun.) If you’re thinking of getting into BFS or are already familiar, these reels will be a worth addition to your arsenal.
I purchased this reel during the BOGO black Friday deal and split it with a buddy. It performs well once you get it dialed in. Would I purchase this again at the regular price? Probably not, but still a decent enough reel to use regularly.
