With another video in today’s video we’re going to be doing a review of the Daiwa BG, so let’s not waste any time and let’s jump right into it all right. So here we are. We got the dialogue. Bg all laid out. I got a 3500 series reel that I actually bought about two and a half months ago now I wanted to buy this reel because, first of all, I needed a new spinning reel.

Second of all, I wanted a new type of reel, so I’ve always fished Shimano and pin primarily and I’ve never had to dial a product before. So this is my first dialog product and I wanted to get it. The BG specifically because I heard nothing but good things about it, especially from the remake, because this is a remake of the black and gold series that they had and that reel was around for thirty plus years in saltwater and it stood the test of time.

So that’s a testament to dial WA, so I wanted to get the BG. Try it out myself and give you guys my honest opinion about it. So, let’s get into some facts about the BG okay. So let’s take a close look at the BG. First of all, we’re gonna take a look at the appearance and I gotta say that it’s one of my favorite looking reels. It really has a polished.

Look to it now when I first saw the BG I, wasn’t a huge fan of the look of it or the more time I’ve had to play with it and have it in my hands. It really is a sexy-looking reel just the way the spool is it’s all CNC machined. So it’s the my new details are absolutely phenomenal. You also have the details on the drag cap there, which are impeccable, and it’s just a really overall good-looking reel.

So dial would really impressed me just with the way the reel looks in that $100 price point: you’re not gonna, get a better looking real all right. So, let’s jump into all the internals of the BG and all the facts and all the good stuff that you fishermen want to hear because I know you want these stats about the reel or facts about the reel.

So you know what you’re getting at at the BG. So in this 3500 series reel, you got a 5 7 to 1 gear ratio, which isn’t really that bad at all, I’ve been very impressed with it and it’s a little slower for my liking, but I’ve been nonetheless impressed with it. The reel itself weighs 14 1 ounces, that’s quite a bit when it comes to a spinning reel or a 3500 series reel I.

Wouldn’t it’s super heavy, but it’s not the lightest of reals. So when you’re using artificial, it’s hit or miss I mean throughout the day you’re gonna get tired using this reel I’ve noticed, especially when you’re hitting the 8 to 10 hour, mark you’re really going to get worn down, but for live bait fishing. It’s absolutely perfect. You’re, also getting 17 6 pounds of drag and that’s the phenomenal thing about this.

Bg is the drag it puts out for a 3500 series reel now. I know the competitor and a 4000 series reel you’re, only getting 15 pounds of drag for its closest competitor, the pin battle -. So it puts it to shame when it comes to the drag system and that’s why you buy these BG’s the amount of time and effort that goes into these drag system that dial up puts into them is remarkable because they really last and they’re, really smooth so I’ve been absolutely nothing but impressed you’re.

Also getting seven bear bearings in this reel. You got six ball bearings and one roller bearing and I’ve been nothing but impressed with those two just flawless and unbelievable. I’ve only had it for two and a half months, but I’ve had no issues thus far, and it’s just been absolutely smooth. Another great thing about the BG is the line capacity everybody raves about how much line you can put on these things now.

This is one knock that I’ve had on the reel. Is I spoil it exactly the amount of thirty pound braid on here that they recommend, so they recommend 230 yards of thirty pound braid can go on this reel and I split it up with about 220 yards of spider, wire and I think that it overfilled the reel just a little bit. So those numbers might be rounded up, but nonetheless it still holds a lot of line compared to the competitors.

It’s a really deep spool. So if you’re looking for a reel that can hold a lot of line this. Is it right here? Alright? So let’s get onto the honest review of the dial Abhijeet here, I got it laid out with the Box, the original box that it came in. So let’s start off with things that I dislike about the reel, because I like the bad stuff first and the good stuff later, because it just makes me feel a lot better.

So the first thing that I dislike about the BG is the bail. Now a lot of people say the bail is really a huge issue. Well, yeah you’re gonna use the bail every single cast, so the bail is a huge issue. Now. Is it a huge issue with the BG? Not necessarily the only downside to the bail that I see is just the thickness of it. It’s a really light bail and it doesn’t have a real good click over the spring in it isn’t exactly the best so daya.

If you’re listening just put a better spring in this- and you want to say, have the perfect little reel so when I pulled it back, it just doesn’t go as far as most reels. It doesn’t leave a huge gap there and it also doesn’t give you that really good click I mean it sounds okay right now, but on the water, it’s just not that pleasing when you click this bail over I like a loud click.

Just like pen pen has a really good bail system. There spring really clicks it over and you get a really good snap out of it. I mean overall, if I had to read it out of a ten I would say the bail itself is like a seven out of ten. It’s really held up good, but it’s just a light bail system, all right, so another knock that I might have on the BG.

Is the reeling knob here the dog that you’re gonna crank all your fish in with now for deep dropping and things of that nature, it’s a great knob. It gives you really good grip and you could really reel down on those fish, but when you’re using artificial, that big knob just gets annoying I would like the little felt ball or something like that when I’m using the artificials, but when I’m cranking something off the bottom, that’s the type of knob that I’m gonna use now I know you can’t please everybody, especially when you’re buying from a 1500 series reel all the way to a 10000 series reel.

So you can’t really I mean I would prefer them to change the knob as the reel got a little bit bigger, but other than that I mean it’s still a decent, decent knob. Now the last knock that I have on the BG and then we’re gonna get any of the good stuff is the weight of it. It’s a little bit on the heavier side, especially when you’re using artificial.

It’s not the lightest thing to be lugging around all day and have it in your hands all day. I ended up getting tired or I, get tired around 7 to 10 hours of fishing when I’m using artificial. It just gets really exhaust Sting’s jerking this little reel around now. I know what you’re thinking you’re thinking Chris. Why would I bought want to buy a spinning reel that you just not hold your horses guys? This is a badass little reel, let’s get into the good things and the things that I like about the BG.

So the number one thing that I like about the Daiwa BG is the fish ability of it now. I know that’s a broad word I’m coming up with my own little word when it comes to this reel is the fish ability of it and what I mean fish ability or when I say fish ability, I mean it does a lot of things really really well so I may have had my knocks on it, my three little knocks, but other than that it is a badass little reel.

The fish ability is unbelievable because you can go from fishing, a Carolina rig or a knocker rig on the bottom to using a little John in the flats just bouncing it around now. I said that the artificial you know it’s not the best artificial reel, but that’s just because of the weight that doesn’t mean he doesn’t do it it does it really well.

So if you need a reel, that is gonna do a lot of things. Well then, this is the reel right here, because it covers all spectrums, especially when you get the 1500 series all the way up to the 10000. You can fish for any type of species with the spinning reel and its really unbelievable. The next thing that I love about this reel is the drag system.

Dial puts a lot of thought into that drag system and that’s why you buy the BG, because you get that extra two pounds of drag and a 3500 series reel and that you can horse some fish. So if you’re fishing for those redfish under some cover or some snook under some docks, you’re gonna be able to really lock that dirt drag system down and get those fish out of cover.

No problem with the BG and I’ve had no problems with it. No slippage, so it’s just been a really remarkable dragsters all right. So another thing that I love about the BG is it comes braids red. That’s a really my new thing that dial will looked at when you’re looking at $100 reel you’re, not going to get all those little specificities that you’re gonna get in the higher-end reels all the little my new details and that’s one of them because I don’t know how many times I’ve lined up my reel and gone shoot I forgot to put backing on because it doesn’t come braid ready and for $100 reel like braids ready, that’s a testament to Iowa.

Thank you, so I don’t have to buy any more backing or any more little line to put on my spinning room. The next thing that I love about the BG is guys it’s a hundred dollars. This is a class, a real for a hundred dollars, yeah it’s in the price point from 80 to 130 dollars, and that is remarkable. When you’re looking at a real with this amount of detail to it, you got a CNC machine spool, you got an all aluminum body.

They even put a rubber piece down here that you can replace when it gets beat up. So how many times do you have to buy a whole new reel just because it’s absolutely beat up from getting laid on the ground? This rubber piece can be replaced at any time. So if I had to take a bet, they were thinking about guides when they put this little rubber piece in because I don’t know how many times I’ve gone on a guided trip and you look at the bottom of their real and they’re all scuffed up from clients using them.

Well, that’s not going to be a problem with the BG, because you can replace that at any time. You want all right so I’m not going to keep you guys here too long, because I know you’re coming to a review to find out an honest opinion about the reel and really, whether or not you should buy it or not. So the final thing that I’m gonna say about the dial OBG.

The final thing that I like is its reputation now. This specific VG has only been out for about two and a half years, but the previous series, the black and gold series that dial we made. This is the remake of that exact reel and that B or that black Gold Series was around for thirty plus years in the saltwater industry, which is absolutely at estimated Iowa and just proved that they knew what they were doing when they made these reels and now I know what you’re thinking you’re thinking man should I buy the Daiwa BG or what you haven’t answered.

My question my primary question: while I was looking up reviews of the Daiwa BG, my answer is yes, you should buy the dial OBG if you’re, actually looking at a BG right now and you’re. Looking up this review of trying to decide what’s real, you want and the dial Abhijeet is on the list. Get the BG I been nothing but impressed with the real and I was earned.

My my business and I will be purchasing another diable product, sowed Iowa shoutouts to you, but yeah. You should buy the dial OBG and, if you’re, looking at a bunch of other reels, trust me I did the same thing in that hundred dollar price point range. If you’re looking to spend $100 on a spinning reel, then yes, you should definitely purchase the diabetes.
