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
Another nice baitcaster from Ark. i have the 5 and the 7 and love them. Got this for my finesse baits.
Was looking for an affordable but quality reel to build my first BFS setup and had a buddy recommend the Gravity BFS. It's been solid! Super light frame, casts well (it does take a little tweaking between the tension knob and the brake to find the sweet spot with these small lures), and a lot better price point that the vast majority of other BFS reels out there.
