DAIWA BG SERIES SPINNING REELS

 


If your heading out on a saltwater popping trip for huge Giant Trevalley, Tuna, etc.. and don't have loads of cash to buy a top end of the line reel such as the Daiwa Dogfight or Saltiga, consider the Daiwa BG 8000.  This reel can be bought for under $150.  It is a huge reel weighing around 30 oz.  It has a large spool where it can hold about 440 yards of 80 lbs braid.  It has a drag strength of about 33 lbs.  The BG is constructed out of heavy aluminum, and has an air rotor plus 7 ball bearings.  It is quite smooth when reeling and have digitally cut gears to help battle these monster brutes.  I recently obtained the 8000 model and 5000 models which I will be testing out in June.  So, more on these reels after hopefully a successful popping fishing trip!!!
