Daiwa BG Review | The Perfect Spinning Reel???
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- The Daiwa BG spinning reel MIGHT BE the perfect saltwater spinning reel! In this video I give my honest review of the Daiwa BG. I bought this reel a little over two in a half months ago and have been nothing but impressed. Besides the little knocks that I have on it, it might be the best spinning reel on the market. I know that every reel can't be perfect, so the little things that I don't like about the reel are irrelevant in some cases.

*This reel is perfect for me **enjoyable.fishing** recommend the price, the look, the drag. Just a little bit noisy if tension knob is not right on the click. If well ajusted...no backlash ! Love it !!*
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
Awesome Review! I want one of those BG's, I've been looking at them! Keep up the good videos!
Thank you for all the support you guys! Please checkout my other videos!
Great review...I am mostly a Penn and Fin Nor guy...but bought a 4000 BG to replace an older Penn 440 SSG that is getting repaired...it really is a fine reel...well made...good looking...and casts without issue...and not very expensive...I like my SSV Vs better, but it is a lot cheaper. In short...it just works.
Awesome review! Probably going to get one myself!
EXCELLENT REVIEW!!
I just came across your channel. Great quality !
I'll be tuning in.
+Hank Pretz Kayak Fishing AWESOME! Welcome to the channel! How did you find me? Oh, and don’t forget to join the giveaway!!!!
Great video mate! Will be purchasing this reel now! Cheers!
Yes sir! Click the link below if you could, helps support me
I have 4 of them, never felt such confidence in a reel before. Won't break, won't give up in a fight, and as smooth as the 400$ reels. I like that it doesn't use too much of the space-age materials, no flex at all and feels so solid.
Of all the spinning reels I fish and there are many, this is probably my favorite reel to fish with.
I have the 6500 for the jetties and surf fishing and the 8000 for my deep sea trips and have never been left down! These things are beasts!
They really are.... I have had no problem with mine what so ever.
Great review, this reel is at the top of my list. I'm looking at the 2500 or the 3000 size mainly for artificial lures. Thanks for the good review!
it depends on what your fishing for but I would recommend the 3000 because it can pretty much catch anything and the 2500 is a little small in my opinion but what you can do is go to your local tackle shop or Walmart (yes they sell them) and just do a little size comparison and see what you like hope this helps
@@kaih4889 will do, thanks for the advice!
Hey Chris! Great review! That reel looks real nice. I only own 1 spinning reel since I just moved to the gulf coast a little over a year ago (the rest of my reels are baitcasters for freshwater) but I had a buddy that used all Daiwa spinning reels and he loved them. I’ll have to really consider this one when I get ready to buy another reel! Thanks for the review and keep up the good work!
David Stough David!!!! Come on man, get with the program 😂 need to get some more spinning reels. The BG is a good little reel, I’ll be getting more of them.
Workin' on it bud! My excuse to get my next reel is my son needs one so he can fish with me :)
Hey Chris buddy.. Great review and I admit I am a Penn fan.. Mainly because I can get parts for the reel when it breaks, and I can repair the reel myself. Saves me 8 weeks waiting to get my reel back.. But price is great compared to what I paid for my Slammer III.. Great video and thanks for sharing.. Always your fan and subscriber..
Thanks for making up my mind..Daiwa BG is the one, or maybe two...you did a great job in splain’n things.
Hey buddy i just want to give you a heads up before you buy one.
I've been using this for over a year now and there are 3 problems I found, the first is the bail close during the cast and I have lost a few lures, the second is the black paint fads away showing the metal underneath, the third is that it's heavy.
The good thing about this reel is the cranking power it's a powerful reel and very solid.
When I don't catch a fish I hate the real because it's heavy and the bail close when casting is annoying but when I catch a fish it has awesome power and great drag feels good when fish on.
Great video brother. Thanks for the info.
Thanks brother! Hopefully it helps you with what you want in a reel, or pick a reel!
I have been wanting to get a new set up and been getting info like yours to help figure it out. Really appreciate your work.
Thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching my man
Great narration!
I appreciate thay
Good review! That reel looks 👍🏼

I have small 2k BG, been catching pikes all autumn. Great fun. Cool reel.
Very cool! Thanks for watching
I have a 3000 for artificials it is a little on the heavy side but it is a complete beast awesome review!
Dock RunnerTv that’s what I noticed Dock Runner, it’s a bigger reel for artificial. Still a great reel though 💯
Good review!
+Ordigamer thanks my man!!!! 😎
One of the best reel can’t wait to get one
Wish to have that kind of reel someday..nice!👍
I got 3 bg8000s for dead sticking and a 6500 for casting 6 to 12 inch crank baits I love it
Just sold my stradic fl to go to the BG couldn’t be happier with it.
Good review 👍👍👍
+Chef Refko thanks my man! Thanks for the comment 💯
I have 2 BG 60 and 2 Daiwa Emblem 5000 all of them I bought in late 90’s and still going strong. Easy to service too. 👍👌✔️
You gotta try the new one! Love mine and I have had it for years now
@@CaptChrisCanning yes I also have two bg 4500!fir striped Bass
The newer version?
3000 size will feat for 15-50g rod?
With the BG, you should look at weight vs line capacity. A 4000 Penn conflict holds much less line than the BG 3500. Also the 3000 and 3500 have about the same weight. In the smaller sizes the BG X500 reels have a better weight to line capacity ratio.
I just made my decision... BG it is. Going to the Outer Bank in North Carolina in 2 months, need to be ready for surf fishing. Thanks a lot .
No Problem my man!
Daiwa BG 3000 vs Shimano stradic fl 4000? Which one is better for jigging?
I am thinking of buying the bg4000 model,can it habdle perfectly a p.e 1.5 btaid plz??
Nice comprehensive review, thx!
Thank you Kevin!
Will the daiwa bg 4000 be appropriate for jigging? By the way great review seems to be a nice reel
After having the reel this long I might have gotten a smaller size. Like a 300 or 2500
Great review. What do you think about BG 2000 for light fishing on flashwater?
You don’t be disappointed for the price
Diego Del Barco I use the 1500 for freshwater and small saltwater fish and it’s pretty good definitely gets the job done
Hello Internet What's the difference between 1500 and 2000?
Go with the 2000
Diego Del Barco well 1500 is a bit smaller and lighter
Love the BG 5500 reels
I picked up the 5000 for a big live bait rig. I can literally cas 3x farther than I could with my Pflueger President. No contest. Great reel!!!
Looking at a 3000 model. How will this handle surf fishing? I'm talking about standing in the waves and the reel getting completely submerged by waves sometimes?
It’s not mag sealed, so it wouldn’t last forever. I would recommend if you’re going to do that get a mag sealed fishing reel. Supposedly they’re suppose to be releasing a BG that’s mag sealed.
They are very nice reels for under a 100 bucks. I bought 3 BGs, 2500,3000 and 3500. I really like them and have no regrets.Plain and simple very nice reels for the money.
Awesome reel for the mony! How has your held up?
What is the different in weight between the 3500 and 3000 pls ?
Great review!! Daiwa is a great brand!!
Amature Basser Thanks Basser! Yes Daiwa is a great brand, and I’ll be getting something else from them.
@@CaptChrisCanning Can't wait to see what that something else is!!
@@aaronbennett7086 Think i'm going to do a 13 reel next!
awesome review, right stuff and worthed for $100 reel, i got one.
It's been an awesome little reel so far! Thanks for the comment
Would you recommend a bg2000 for pier fishing in Florida ?
Absolutely! Depending on what your targeting, you might wanna bump it up to the 3500
Also been thinking of giving shimano a break and get ready for Daiwa to impress
Did you ever give the BG or Daiwa a try?
Will a 7ft rod work for the 3500 model? Love the video!
Absolutely, I use it on a 7’6
I really like the new Penn Clash II too. The Clash II I'd say isn't as durable as the BG. BG can probably take more abuse if you're rough on your gear. They both have about exact same specs but the BG costs a lot less...I have a BG 3k and a 5k, A Clash II 2500 and a 4k. I do prefer the Penns but for the price, I'd buy the BG. I do get a discount from Penn being a former pro staff member. Otherwise I'd buy the BG...Now the Penn Slammer III...lol
Any suggestions on the revo s20 or the bg2000. I'm undecided thanks
Can't go wrong with the Bg, I promise
Hi. I bought a Daiwa BG 4000 for the wife. Now I need to get one for myself. I am thinking about getting a Fin Nor LT 80 also, what do you think.
I highly recommend! How does the wife like it so far?
Luv mine , i want another one!
I want one of the new ones
After watching your review Chris, I ended up buying a 4500.Had planned to pick up a Saragosa. Tried a few shops and no one had the size I wanted. Asked to see the BG and ended up buying it. So far I am pleasantly surprised.Thanks for the review 👍🏼👍🏼
+Fisch1 AWESOME! Glad to hear Fisch! You saved a lot of money too man!
Seems most like the Diawa BG & Penn Battle II get cross shopped a lot?! It reviews like this one that gave me the confidence to go with the Diawa! Keep up the great videos...
They do because they are in the same price point! Thank you my man!
Nice review. I'm a newbie about to start fishing for lings, cabs and other rock fish. The top two reels I've boiled it down to was Daiwa BG and Shimano Soccoro. Not sure if you've reviewed the Socorro but any thoughts???
Can't go wrong with either one. I don't personally have the Soccoro, which one did you end up going with?
The SOCORRO SW is also highly recommended!...but keep in mind that it has a HEXAGONAL AXIS (like BG JDM "hg/pg")...being slow (low 4.9 ratio) it is more powerful for bottom fishing
Upgrade to a spinfisher
I have two BG 4000 and would buy 2 more any day and I changed up big ugly spinn knob Great footage Chris Diana is very Underated🐡🐠🐙🐟
Brad P I agree Brad! Daiwa is very underrated! Need to try more of their products, but I’m impressed with them!
It’s a little heavy but I switch rods so many times throughout the day I’m going to be fatigued regardless. It seems the pro’s far outweigh the cons so I’m getting one. Thanks for the help.
Absolutely brother! It’s an awesome reel!
Galing naman ng review salamat po sa pag share this vedio 👍👍👍👍
YES! Thank for watching
Hello, could the bg 3500 be suitable for a popping rod MH 7.4 ft, 40-80g, 6 kg drag?
Absolutely
@@CaptChrisCanning thanks a lot Chris! Much appreciated it!
Informative review. My initial thoughts were that it would be ideal for surf or jetty fishing. Have you tried it there yet?
Gary Dirks I have used it surf fishing and it’s done great. Salt spray got on it and everything, it still feels like butter. I’d definitely get one if you could. 😏
Song name?
It's really good bro
Love that reel
i will buy but i want to ask simple question " which is better? daiwa BG or new model Daiwa BG Magsealed?
magsealed is better if you are doing saltwater fishing
Man up Suzie 💪
What r u saying?
What reel should i upgrade to, i have a shimano ultegra 5000 reel and i use it for atlantic salmon fishing in saltwater only. Any suggestion? Looking at Shimano Substain 5000, but what do you recommend? :) Pricing up to 300 USD
I love the shimano Stratic if you want a lightweight reel. If you don’t mind weight and want something that is a tank the penn slammer 3.
@@CaptChrisCanning Ty for reply, stradic model: Stradic C5000 XGFL ?
BB O that’s an awesome reel
Hi what do you think about the magsealed version of daiwa bg? price is a little higher but is it really worth it to buy the magsealed?
Evrim KÖKMEN iv the bg magsealed n it’s 100% worth the extra money 👍🏻
I think it depends on the type of Fishing that you are doing. If you are surf fishing absolutely, but if your chances of getting the reel wet are low than no just go with the normal one.
Have 3000bg magsealed its realy good reel for bara fishing..
It’s an awesome little reel! I want the new one ☝🏼
I’m hopping to get one the bg 8000 an try it on some tunas
It will treat you well!
Is it possible to change it over so the thingy you spin is on the right side?
Yes absolutely
Damn thats nice
How did you get the line lay that way? What lb test? Did hou tighten drag while spooling?
Just spooled it normally! Drag was maybe tightened half way or less, and it’s 25-30lb spiderwire.
Chris Canning thanks, ill try redo mines. i could use fresh lines. thanks.
mogtrader8 what exactly was wrong with it?
Chris Canning the line lay is uneven on mines, thicker on top than bottom. ive never had this on my shimanos, even penns. ive never had to use adjustment washers either.
at that point in time, i didnt wanna redo it. but now i need new line.
+mogtrader8 interesting, were u keeping tension the entire time while you spooled it up?
What rod should I put a 3000 size
Medium action
theres a latest BG model with thicker bail named BG Air Bail. but its SEA market model...
I haven't used it, but I should defiantly check it out!
I'm sold
Thanks for the review! Just subbed! Are you going to host a hot pepper challenge with Joshua any time soon?😂 I like this reel ,I'll have to try it.
+Mike Mcelveen Awesome! Thanks for the support brotha! Actually... when I reach 5k subscribes before the end of the year, I’m going to eat a ghost pepper live!
Chris Canning I'm there!
Spiderwire diameter might be thicker than the lb equivalent of daiwa j braid and that may be why you are only getting 220
I have two bg myself (4500 and 5000) and love mine
I also think they make the bail lighter because they do not have an auto trip to it
Agreed on the knobs..at least make it easier to upgrade to a gomexus
Ya know..... I really never thought that. I do know that spider wire is thicker, but at the time I just never thought about this. Thanks for commenting
Diawa BG 5000 or penn spinfisher vi in similar size???????
Depends on the type of fishing... LOVE them both
I'm more to surfcasting fishing and i'm thinking to buy this Daiwa BG5000. Should i get it?
Absolutely if it’s in your radar
Thank you mate :)
Plan on doing a reel update?
A reel update on the Daiwa BG?
@@CaptChrisCanning yes please.
The more time to play with it and have it in your hands come on Chris keep it PG, no but seriously great review on the reel.
i2aspire 😂😂😂😂 omg aspire you’re terrible! Thanks for watching man! An for the mad support 😎
omg I just read this, and man this is great! HAHAHA
The reason that I have changed everything into Daiwa from shimano, was because of this reel. The only thing that I hate about the reel is the T-handle knob.
vsonic86 You’re so right! Like I said in the video, I didn’t like the knob until I was reeling down on a bottom fish. Thanks for the comment brotha!
I have the 3000 & 3500 and I use them daily. Out off all my reels these two are my favorite. One thing I agree with you on is the bale. It’s really thin, the bale on the daiwa Laguna is super thick. I fight cow nose rays on my BG’s both spooled with 30lb power pro and it drags anything you reel in
Great review I have a diawa also
Frightful Crown Thanks Frightful! Which Daiwa do you have?
@@CaptChrisCanning I don't have the reel but I have the rod it's a light medium action rod
I know this is a saltwater reel but will it still excel in freshwater bass fishing?
A smaller one yes! Little heavier than your normal bass fishing reel. But will last forever!
Noah get the 2500. Same reel but it's a more ideal size. Perfect for bass
I have BG 8000 , is super heavy(850g) , i dont think is 100% aluminum body , is a very worth budget reel , Line roller upgrade to SS ball bearing (need 2 pcs).
i have the 3000 and the 3500. best reels for the price. the 3500 is much larger and has a great handle. i use this reel on my striper and blue rig and it is never overmatched. the 3000 is a smooth confidence inspiring reel i use for jigging fluke or anything else that hits but its egonomics aren't perfect for me. between the position of the thin bale wire and the stubby frame and maybe the size of my hands i find the 3000 size not to be ideal . i compared the 3000's bale travel with my other reels and indeed the bale finishes its most rear rotation 1/2 inch behind the spool. way behind any of my other comparible reels.
Love daiwa since you don’t fish them mine as well send it to me 😂good review man 👍🏻
+AJ S I’m definitely fishing them now AJ! You’re trying to pull a fast one 🤔😏
Lol I’m about to buy one myself either the Bg or the back bay reel haven’t decided yet .
i bought the BG 8000 for bank sturgeon bad azz
Have you got good use out of it Mark? I'm willing to bet you're still slaying some fish on it.
The 3500 and up use the larger knob..3k and below use a smaller T handle.
Exactly brother...so which handle is more comfortable in ur opinion ??
My bg has 305 yards of 30npound powerpro but it's a 4000
That's plenty of line, though!
Daiwa reels are the ish. Welcome to the club.
Yes sir! I’ve been very very pleased with mine. What reels of theirs do you hove?
Team Daiwa Advantage 2500 (best reel I ever owned) Procyon 3000, and the BG 2500.
I’ll have to try it out 💯
what line are you using?
That was camp spider wire. 15lb or 20lb
Great review!
I just bought a BG 2500 for bass fishing ponds and lakes. Now I’m trying to find a good $100 range rod to pair with it 🤔.
Any suggestions?
St Croix premier, you’ll love that combo
Chris Canning thanks man, I’ve heard of those! U think 7’ Medium Fast action would work well for 3/8 oz swim jigs and Texas rigs?
Womb Raider yes, 7’ M XF Shimano SLX. I really like it so far, it’s really light weight, super sensitive
My bg 2k absolutely beast for barra 9 kilo's..
#team daiwa
Oh these reels are beast! I want the new mag sealed one forsure!
Try daiwa J braid
Carbon drag washers or felt?
Carbon
I believe they put carbon in theirs, that's why the drag rating is so high compared to other reels.
sir....i preferred shimano twinpower sw 2011.jdm
Shimano makes amazing reels!
Got some Daiwas. Got an old BG that is 40 YO. Got the twin stopper second generation BG 4500. No issue. Cult status in Asia
Can you send me that one?
😁👍 Can't go wrong with a Daiwa!
Do you have a lot of Diawa products?
Yes Chris!! Thank you.
At 48 seconds you say the word
" especially " without pronouncing X in the word... it drives me nuts hear people say expecialy.
And it's literally everyone 🙄
I know I sound crazy, but now that I pointed it out,... you'll notice.
Anyway, great review.
I liked, and subbed cause you can speak rite.. lol
