The Ark Gravity BFS Avid is $79.99 right now for Tackle Warehouse's Memorial Day sale, and the regular Ark Gravity BFS is $119.99. Great time to grab one of them, if you've been on the fence.
Long-time lurker here. Here's my dilemma. I ordered a Mavllos Delicacy and a HICC50 off Amazon as my first BFS setup. I feel like I paid too much for the HICC50. I haven't used it yet, since the rod is still on the way. Should I try it out for a few outings to see if I like it, and not care that I spent $70, or should I order a Histar Aurora Air from AliExpress for $40 and return the HICC50? I also don't like the silver color of the HICC50, and maybe that's influencing my thoughts as well?
My intentions for the setup are 1g-ish lures (trout magnets and the like), so I need something that casts those well, although I'll also cast some stuff up to 3 or 4 grams.
**UPDATE**: I'm returning the HICC50. I feel like I paid way too much for what's in my hand (which does NOT feel smooth at all), and ordered the new Ark Gravity BFS Avid from Tackle Warehouse. Their website literally says it can cast trout magnets with its 3.52g spool (that's so light!), and I'm sure the build quality will be miles ahead of the HICC50, not to mention the braking system.
