What does the BG stand for in Daiwa?

The BG in the Daiwa range of BG products stands for 'Black Gold' which was the original colour scheme from the first product iteration made in 1981.

is the Daiwa BG Reel sealed?

Whilst the Daiwa BG Reel has some physical sealing, there is no Magseal protection or similar type of high-quality sealing that provides almost impenetrable protection from corrosion and contaminants. As such you will need to carefully rinse your Daiwa Bg after use in saltwater conditions.

Can you use the Daiwa BG Reel in freshwater?

Yes, you can use the Daiwa BG Reel in freshwater. The BG series has some smaller, freshwater-specific reels right up to some big-game saltwater models. But as these reels are saltwater compatible, you will have no problem using them in freshwater conditions.

Is the Daiwa BG Reel made in China?

Daiwa manufacture fishing reels in many locations across the world, but primarily in Asia. The BG models are primarily made in China, Korea or Vietnam alongside the Fuego and Crossfire LT.

Description

Arguably the most versatile series of reels on the market, the Daiwa BG series starts with the 2500 model weighing just 263g going all the way up to the 8000 model which weighs 850g. A really good value set of reels that have extraordinarily good versatility and superb line capacity. Something that really supports the reel’s versatility and makes it one of the best sea-spinning reels on the market.

The 2500 / 3000 versions of the BG series have an auto-bail mechanism, whereas the larger 4000 and up versions have manual bail settings and no anti-reverse. All are designed to increase power output and mechanical strength.

The reel’s gear ratio and weight are slightly less than the Spinfisher, which was why we plumped for the Penn Spinfisher. The Shimano Vanford is another worthy option. The durability and retrieval speed slightly won us over. But this Daiwa range of reels is truly excellent value and if you’re in the market for a fresh and saltwater combo, this Daiwa’s an excellent choice.
