- I do like the Ark Gravity a lot and since making this video I have used It several more times and I have been able to cast my 1/16 oz jigs so I am very pleased with the purchase so far. Links to Gear are below.

Since making this I have thrown 1/16 oz jigs and cheb rigs with the ARK without issues, I think my leader knot had too much friction in my tiny line guides the first trip, and another trip I think Ice in the guides was causing friction. Since then no real issues with backlashing so I’m pleased. ALSO, biggest change that makes a huge difference is changing the internal brakes from 1 to 2, that solved the backlashing issues too.
Here’s some more Texas BFS Action! 👇

Love the channel man 🔥 I appreciate you showing the grind ! I’m in Ohio and I fish the river all winter long.Been throwing that new micro A rig too man it’s sick
I loved for the little while I had it. A striper broke me off on the hook set a few trips back 💀. Thanks for the support from the Midwest man 🙌🏽. Are you catching on the micro?
Great video. The fidhing has been slow here as well even though the ive is gone out of the ladt 3 trips out got skunked the furst one, the 2nd one only got a Bluegill and a nice Red eared Sunfish, the last one git 3 Bass all the bass were caught with a micro jig. Keep up the grind it will get better
For sure Jeff! Any fish are good fish in the winter. Thanks for watching man 🤙🏽
I've been seeing post of people catching top water with the rat lures around DFW. You should give your micro rat a try.
I don’t know where the hell they are doing that. I’m definitely ready for a topwater bite though
I owned the Haibo Arise Air which basically the same reel just in the Chinese Market, plus most Ark reel is made in China from Haibo. enable to cast 1/16oz or lighter weight lure 9you must have your rotor set to level 2 and the external dial is 75% close to MAX and just cast it
Yep I changed the rotor from 1 to 2 and it was a game changer
@@clintonbruning sorry, i meant to said level/setting #1; not 2; my bad
@@leepao6302 level one is like no brakes at all and it kept overspooling. I cast too hard for level 1.
@@clintonbruning you’ll have to adjust your casting power/pressure to a lighter/softer flick of the wrist motion, you can’t be casting like how you normally cast that won’t work on ultra light lure, if you can’t adjust then ultra light lure might not be for you. By lowering the brakes system it allows the light lure to have a low start up inertia, if you fish your normal brakes setting the ultra light lure weight will be choke up while you make a cast and you won’t get any good fish-able distance and the lure fly to the left if you cast with your right hand; just saying from experience
@@leepao6302 nah, I can rip crankbaits, swimbaits, and jigs around now, I power fish even though I throw finesse gear. I’ve got them dialed now. Thank you for the input though. I’ll keep all that in mind 🤙🏽. Thanks for watching man.
On a paddle board in the winter !I admire your dedication but thats nuts bro🤪 im looking to get a new reel also for my b-day
Which one are you going to get?
@@clintonbruning I was thinking the tsurinoya genius but that ark sounds good to because I like the zephyr but I want something to be able to cast below 1/16 oz
@@gregchilders7643 get the ark and make sure to set the internal brakes to 2 and it’s an incredibly smooth reel. Its components are as quality as a shimano without the price tag.
I was reading your comments and I seen you were having troubles but someone solved your problems. Looking to use for bluegills and trout with 1/32 oz jighead and trailer combo
@@gregchilders7643 it would do it easily I bet. There 3 levels of internal brakes, 1-3 1 is essentially like no brakes at all for tiny bites and really light line and soft casting, and I was trying to power fish on 1 😂. I got the hang of it, but I switched it to 2 today and it was a game changer.
ive been trying to figure out what power bfs setup to throw that rig. i knew the rod had to be at least a medium/light for the hogfarmer and not true ultralight. thanks for the video❤
It’s pretty dang small! I could use 3 1/16 oz swimbait heads instead and throw it on my dobyns even. 🤙🏽
Hey bud have you set the inductor cup on your spool too 2 yet ? I had the same problem and when I switched over to the 2 setting I was totally mind blown on what this reel can do. I can throw 1/20 Zman shroom heads and the micro finesse baits that are less than an inch long . This reel and an ultra finesse rod will make your head spin. Good luck and keep up the great work on your videos love the music you play.
I will definitely adjust the that inductor cup then! Thanks for the help man 🙌🏽. It is a crazy smooth reel. Just used it on some creek bass again this morning and it slayed. Thanks for the support 🤘🏽
I just switched it to 2 and you’re right, it does not overspool at all and I can be much more aggressive with casting now. Thanks so much man.
The dog was so happy to get on the boat😂. When you talk about water temp. Is that surface temperature? Also what’s that budget reel called darquad?
That was surface yes. The best budget reel I have is the TSU dark wolf 🤙🏽
@@clintonbruning oh okay right on. I plan on trying that reel this summer. Thank you sir.
@@JaredLives4Jesus you’ll love it man. It’s a workhorse.
@@clintonbruning right on. I’m not going to buy that sierra rod though. To expensive. I’ll test a random rod from Academy😂. Thanks for the suggestions. I hope the chiefs WRs are nice to you tomorrow💪🏼
@@JaredLives4Jesus me too, never thought I’d see 1 chiefs Super Bowl in my lifetime, much less 4.
I’m ordering my Gravity today. I’m not brand specific loyal so much as I am retailer loyal. Would you consider Bait Finesse Empire your go-to for premium bait finesse gear?
@@OilfieldAngler I definitely get most of my reels from him for sure. He’s a solid smaller company too, out of Arizona 🤙🏽. You’re going to be blown away by that ark gravity just make sure you watch a video on how to adjust the internal brakes to level 2. Because it comes stock on level 1 and it’s like having no brakes at all 😂. That thing can cast flys on level one
When did bait casters become known as BFS?
It’s just a category of bait casters designed to throw really small baits. They have super light shallow spools for small diameter line.
any reel that can throw/cast 3/16oz or lighter and the rod power must be ML or lighter power
Im so stoked you got the hog farmer micro flex, I've been eye balling that new rig heavily. Sick to see one of my fav channels trying it out! I'm mostly curious how soft the arms are when pulsing the rig... TB seems big on using slightly lighter wire on their a-rigs to make the pump/pulse action better.
I was twitching mine and it worked great. Unfortunately I got broke off by a striper on the hook set on the 3rd trip 🙃. There was 30 bucks down the drain 💀. Thanks for watching John 🙌🏽
Nice video. I'm sorry you had deal with the cold water like most of further north. 😅 we've had a warm week up here in KC.
Had a couple of days in the 60's. I finaly got out yesterday and bank fished one of my favorite little lakes . I caught a 4lb'er and lost a bigger one, and some smaller ones. The 4lb'er is my PB so far on BFS. GO CHIEF'S and Thanks for the video 😊
Yes sir! A 4 lb fish on BFS feels like a giant. It’s been warm this week here too. I’m going to go do some Rainey creek fishing right now. Go CHIEFSSSSSSS
For you line type what brand do you think is best?
I need to make a video on best line for which baits I’m throwing for sure. But in general I go 6 lb red label fluoro for 1/8 oz baits and below, for baits heavier than that except for a few moving baits 7 lb dc sniper has been lights out. Ill use 4 lb flouro for really light baits sometimes or to fish deeper.
What are your internal brakes set to?
That’s what I need to adjust, just figured that out lol. Thanks for the help man 🙌🏽. It’s a crazy smooth reel.
Just switched it from 1 to 2 and there you go, game changer.
Awesome! I just watch a video of Debo’s he was showing the gravity 5 which also had the internal brakes. Looks like a pretty good reel. Thanks for the video!
