Only good for one summer
August 16, 2022
I paired up my 7’6” favorite rod with a BG 2000. Was a nice set up for fluke season in New Jersey. However I’ve been disappointed for two summers now. The real basically wore out after about 3 months. I returned it to Diawa. I will say they promptly repaired it and sent it back. Same thing happen next season. I fish it hard at least four days a week. It’s just not durable enough for me.
Pros
- Decent weight, nice retrieval when it?s working.
Cons
- Not very durable. Accidentally hook into a big fish like a cow nose Ray and you?re gonna burn it out.

Serious Value For Money
August 13, 2022
What's not to love. Has a fast retrieve, holds a lot of line, retrieve is smooth and allows a good long cast.
The drag is kind of silent so not the reel you would let sit and listen to hear it going off. You will have to be very close to it to ensure you hear the drag singing.
Pair this with some 40 lb braid on a 9 or 10 ft rod and you have a helluva set up to tackle fishing the surf and off the rocks.

Great reel for the money
August 11, 2022
I have reels that cover trout to tuna made by Van Staal on down. These reels epitomize the phrase bang for the buck. They are very good quality, cast well, have negligible slop and last season after season without signs of corrosion or wear. I have a pair of 3000’s, 5500’s and 6500’s all used in the surf or offshore. Highly recommended because they just do what you expect for the money.
Pros
- Great performance, corrosion resistance and great price.
Cons
- Rather not have the gold accents. Hardly an issue though.

I have BG3000 I inshore fish with and handled many 40" reds in swift current. Also have a 4500 and 5000 I fish offshore with. Plenty of drag to handle good size red snappers. Hooked up with the taxmen several times too and had no issues with the reel. I love all 3 of mine.

Best the Best
April 28, 2022
I come from small reels the biggest was the sahara 5000 compared to the DW BG 5000 it looks like the toy shimano, the DWBG is a very heavy heavy reel but it feels like it is made of good quality I bought the 1500 / 5000 and that being the 8000 monster, I think that with the 5000 it does the same as the Shocorro 8000 from Shimano, the price was $150 for 5000 it makes it a saltwater reel of better quality / price
Pros
- good quality
- collects very well
- grab a lot of line to be a 5000
Cons
- very heavy, but for a lot
- you need a 20/40 pound rod to make it balanced

Really happy
April 23, 2022
I have several Daiwa BG's and have been extremely happy with them. They fish like a much more expensive reel, and have never let me down. I fish the 4000 series for plugging for stripers and haven't felt outgunned with fish into the 40#s. I also have a 5000 series that I use for snagging pogies and it is a workhorse. The numbering feels a little off - 4000 the series matches up closer to the size of a 5000 from Shimano.

Good Value! I Bought this BG4000 as the MQ Was Launching.
April 18, 2022
I bought this as the newer version was launching - suspecting that it was just as excellent as all the 2021 reviews said it was. It is.
I have never spent over $200 for a reel. Instead, I keep an eye out for excellent offerings in the mid/value range from trusted brands.
This Diawa is a great addition to the arsenal.

Great Reel with True Grit
April 14, 2022
Caught my first bluefin, a 55 pounder, on a BG 4500 last August off Catalilna Island, and the reel barely broke a sweat. Even after a long soak, I had plenty of line -- and smooth, powerful drag -- to land the truly beautiful fish in about 15 minutes. Impressive. But then I should not have been surprised. I'd caught yellowfin to 35lbs on this reel with no problem whatsoever before the bluefin trip. Liked the 4500 so much I bought a 6500. Can't beat the price and the quality. A BG will be a regular part of my arsenal this season for throwing bait or lures on kelp patties for yellowtail and school-sized tuna. Highly recommend the BG line.
Pros
- price, quality, easy upkeep, strong, smooth drag,
Cons
- None I am aware of

What size reel is good for jigging blackfish and bucktailing for gluke
1 Answer
Depending on the rod you choose a good size would be a 3000. It is not overkill however still holding plenty of line capacity and enough drag to put the brakes on bigger tog. The 3000 will balance on most inshore fluke and tog spinning rods.Â

The pros of a setup like that would be that the rod can handle a good amount of weight for cut bait and added sinker weight, the cons are that you would be limited to just doing that. It would be to heavy of a combo to cast all day with.Â

Hi B, We recommend going with the Daiwa BG in the 5000 for both jigging and popping as the BG reels are a larger reel compared to some of its counterparts. For rods the Harrier in the 5'8 heavy or x-heavy will pair well and for popping we recommend going with the Star Sequence Boat rods in 7'2 Heavy for popping rods ( https://www.tackledirect.com/star-rods-sequence-boat-spinning-rods.html ).

Jeff,
The Daiwa BG 5000 would be a much better fit for your Tsunami Saltx 10'6" spinning rod. The BG 4000 would be better on a 6'-8' rod. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

I do a lot of Deep Drops. Blue Line Tile, Grouper, Trigger etc. 200 to 600 feet. Is the 8000 good enough drag, i believe it was 33lb drag, for the 12 - 15 pound fish and sometimes doubles. reply to domfingrp@gmail.com
1 Answer
Joe,
The Daiwa BG 8000, both the original and the MQ, would both be able to handle most offshore fishing situations . The drag (33lb max) and line capacity (730yds / 50lb braid) is more than enough for deep drop fishing. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

If I buy the 5000 series and buy some braid. Can you spool the braid in
1 Answer
Yes absolutely we can spool your reel, if you add the Braid to your order just leave in the comments section at checkout that you wish to have the braid spooled onto the reel. If you would like any kind of mono backing that can be provided free of charge as well, just needs to be specified in the comments section on your order!

I have a Jigging Works Nexus 7’ MH spinning rod 1-4oz 15-40lb braid. Which size BG would best fit this rod mainly for inshore and bay fluke, sea bass, and tog? Or any other reels you can recommend around this price point?
1 Answer
If inshore and bay is the primary use i would go with a BG 3000 or 3500 size.
Another reel i would highly recommend is the Shimano Stradic FL 3000 or 4000 size, this would make for a much lighter and more comfortable jigging set up for a long day on the water.

1 Answer
It largely depends on the size of rod you intend on using, but the 8000 will definitely have enough power to handle larger fish, such as sturgeon.Â

would a 4500 work with a 7'6ft rod i like how the 4500 has the higher drag than the 4000 but im worried it might look a little big on that rod
1 Answer
A 4500 on a 7'6 rod is totally fine, Nothing wrong with having a little extra drag and line capacity.
