Daiwa BG Spinning Reels

Love my new reel. Smooth as silk. Discount Tackle had the best price and quick delivery. I'll be buying more from them.

The daiwa bg 2500 is unbelievable. Cast like a dream. Way more distance than any other reels i own. Worth every penny!!!!!!!!

Paired the BG2500 with a 7’3” Favorite Defender - Lunker TV rod. Excellent balance and a beautiful reel to operate! This was a great purchase! Really nice reel with smooth action! Quality packaging and fast delivery from Discount Tackle!

Last month I purchased the Daiwa BG2500 saltwater version after a lot of research. I noted that it was extremely smooth in its operation, which I hope will remain that way over the years. I spooled it up with Sunline Super FC Sniper 8-pound fluorocarbon, and fastened it to a new 7-foot Temple Fork Outfitters Trout and Panfish rod, and went fishing with it today to see how well it would do. I used several different types of lures to get a feel for how it would respond to casting those. The reel employs several features, but the one I liked the most was the long cast spool, combined with the rod I was able to cast ultralight lures significantly further than I could before with an older 1000 size ultralight reel (and matching rod) that also had a long cast spool from a different manufacture. The surprising thing was, there wasn't much size difference between my 1000 size ultralight and this Daiwa BG2500; I also like the fact that it was made for saltwater, which means it has better seals than a freshwater only reel, the bearings are treated corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and will be virtually impervious to corrosion. While playing with a lot of store demo models of all sorts of brands, the Daiwa had a lighter crank feel to it than others, yet it felt more solid than the others, it didn't have a cheap feel is the only way I can describe it. The reel weighs around 10 ounces, I used it all day, I'm 66 years old and it didn't fatigue me, but I'm not like a lot of people, I just didn't find this reel to be as heavy feeling as some reviews quipped about. Today the panfish were sleeping in the lake I went to, but did catch a 1-pound small mouth bass (I released the fish due to size), the reel performed excellently, the drag worked wonderfully, it has a 13.3-pound drag, but I'm only using 8-pound test so the drag is more than good enough for my needs. I believe this is the best reel you can buy for the money, and according to reviews I read they all agree, which is why I bought it, and you should seriously consider this reel to be your next reel.

These have become my go-to reels. Very smooth. Good line capacity.
