The BG series ranges from ultralight freshwater actions to heavy big game saltwater models. With a strong black Anodized Machined Aluminum Housing and a solid screw-in handle, this reel is extremely rigid.

I am writing this review in the second year of owning the BG 4500. I fish salt water in the PNW from rocky cliffs and jetties. This reel is smooth, and has incredible winching power to get those big Lingcod up the side of the rocks with ease. I was tired of catching then losing fish in the retrieve of pulling them up the cliffs. Not anymore, if the hookset is good, they are coming up! I have landed ling from 22 inc -32 inc monsters thanks to this reel and my 9 ft Med Action ugly stick elite. I… cannot recommend this reel enough, best value out there for fishing salt or fresh, from salmon to rockfish. Just buy it your won't be disappointed :-)
I have purchased these reels from other suppliers in the past. The BG reels are great, however this seller sent me a reel with no crank handle. I ordered two reels, one came complete, one did not. 50/50 shot so one star.
Heard and read many good things about the Daiwa BG series reels, so figured I'd try one. Used it about 3 or 4 times when the reel handle (part you hold in your fingers) bolt snapped when reeling in a fish. Went to get it fixed under warranty, but you need to ship it back (about $20) and then they charge you ($20) to ship the repaired reel back to you, so $40 total. Made my case that I shouldn't have to pay for a break due to a defective/poorly crafted part after 3 or 4 uses. Got the basic '…sorry, but our policy is....'. Wasn't too happy with that response as policies are guidelines. I asked them to just ship me a new handle and I'll unscrew the existing and replace it myself. NOPE! This is an example of not how to make your customers happy. I know I could have bought a 3rd party handle for less than paying for shipping to get the reel fixed under warranty, but at this point, I was so fed up with the lack of service that I threw the reel away and will be sticking with PENN BATTLE III moving forward. I have 6 or 7 of those model reels and they have never let me down, work great, DON"T BREAK and PENN's customer service is spot one as they back and stand behind their products and customers.
Great smooth reel, definitely Diawa quality.
Used for small to medium sized fishing game., great from fresh water applications to salt water applications has great drag abilities and line capacityFor various lines sizesRecommend for sports use
After 5 years doing very well
This reel is a great for saltwater fishing, I love it.
Wow, first impression is what a great reel. Going to use it from shore in the oceans, yes oceans! I have never paid this much for a reel before, but I think this one was worth it. Came very highly recommended from a charter boat captain in Costa Rica! Can use it on shore and off shore too.
