DAIWA BG8000 BG SPINNING REEL

Since its reintroduction in 2016, the Daiwa BG has become a staple in a number of fisheries across North America. Renowned for its durability and phenomenal performance at an unbeatable price, the BG is sure-fire winner for anything from ultralight fishing to offshore trophy hunting. Here at TackleDirect, there is no other spinning reel we would suggest to inshore, offshore, or surf anglers who are looking for the absolute best bang for their buck!

SUPERIOR FEEL AND PERFORMANCE

When the reel is in your hands, anglers will immediately notice the BG’s rigid construction. Despite its relatively light weight, the reel feels solidly built, with every component from the handle and body to the rotor and bail feeling well connected for a confidence inspiring feel. No creaks, no noise, no flex – just rock solid construction and fluid operation. Turning the handle feels effortlessly smooth with little to no “gear feel”.

While the out-of-the-box feeling is impressive, out-on-the-water is where the BG truly shines. Its smooth operation remains consistent, even under heavy loads. The rigid body and sturdy frame effectively resist torque and flex, maintaining stability even when battling powerful fish under intense drag pressure. The drag system delivers a smooth, steady payout, eliminating the sticky, inconsistent feel found in lower-quality reels. Overall, most TackleDirect customers agree that the Daiwa BG is unrivaled in its class of spinning reels when it comes to durability and overall quality.

FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY

Specializing in toughness and capability, the BG is equipped with some of Daiwa’s best technologies to ensure the job gets done. One of the most notable is the presence of DIGIGEAR. This technology is Daiwa’s first-generation digitally engineered gear system that delivers a flawless connection between the ultra-durable drive gear and pinion gears, maximizing speed, power, and longevity for seamless operation. DIGIGEAR reels feature gear sets that are 20% to 40% larger than those of similar reels. The gears feature a larger tooth pattern that dramatically increases gear lifespan, as well as improving power transmission for superior winding power. Housing these oversized gears is a lightweight, super strong, and highly corrosion resistant aluminum body.

To enhance overall balance and functionality, Daiwa implemented their Air Rotor technology into the BG. The Air Rotor sets a new standard in rotor design, offering a lighter, stronger, and more balanced system than ever before. This innovation enhances reel sensitivity and ensures exceptional rotational stability for superior performance. Couple this advanced rotor with Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD), and you have a reel that’s up to any challenge. ATD features an advanced drag grease that remains low in viscosity when at rest but thickens instantly upon drag activation. This minimizes initial start-up resistance, and when combined with the structural enhancements of the ATD Drag System, ensures a smoother, more consistent drag performance from the moment the fish is hooked.

ANY SIZE, ANY APPLICATION

• BG1500: A small, compact size used for light tackle fishing. Generally used in freshwater for various types of panfish, trout, and other small gamefish.
• BG2000: A light tackle reel generally sized for lighter freshwater applications. Holds more line than the previous size but still has a low maximum drag.
• BG2500: The go-to size for freshwater bass fishing, and will also work well for various other freshwater and light tackle inshore applications like speckled trout. Significantly more drag than the previous sizes.
• BG3000: Freshwater bass fishing, walleye, salmon/steelhead, and a wide range of inshore applications. Holds enough line to target the likes of redfish, stripers, snook, and more in shallow water.
• BG3500: A great size for inshore fishing. Holds enough line and provides enough power to handle larger, ocean bound fish like bull reds and migratory stripers.
• BG4000: Another good inshore size that offers great versatility. A great choice for heavier inshore applications that might require braided lines up to 40lb.
• BG4500: The go-to size for Northeastern surf anglers targeting striped bass. At this size you start to see impressive stopping power for going up against big bull reds and other big predators in nearshore waters.
• BG5000: This size starts getting into the offshore territory. Suitable for heavy bottom fish and smaller pelagic species. Can handle small tuna.
• BG6500: This size sees a big increase in fighting power. Well suited for fighting tuna and has very impressive stopping power and maximum drag.
