I think if you do your own services you could save a hell of a lot of money i do not care for warranty cover also if they stuff it up and your reels not right you will know they did nothing to your reel service i have heard of people who have put their reels in for a service and nothing was improved after the service

i only have 1 DAIWA reel and i use it for catfishing it is a DF100A (10000 size) spooled with 100lb braid and a 8/0 circle hook it is comically oversized but it works for me as i have nerve damage and limited range of motion in my left hand/wrist i have yet to lose a fish using this reel

Comment from : Ivan Vedriš

I am in my 50's I have fished all my life with never spending over 6000 for a rod and real combined price And I have caught everything from minnow shiners to 7ft hammerhead Apparently this video is a video for new upcoming tournament guys
Comment from : Southern Bear

I know exactly what i want but one thing im trying to figure out is what do i get if im inshore and see a 40+ inch snook or a 50lb tarpon rolls right near me , like what size reel that u have just incase u need it to handle a monster every so often and not over kill? Im thinking the bigger 4000 reels or the regular 5000 size reels

Hey there! Just stumbled across your YouTube channel (and IG profile) this weekend I'm a now-30-year-old Palm Bay, FL, native (living currently in Saint Cloud, FL, due to work) who did a ton of saltwater inshore fishing with my dad as a kid and teenager (off causeways, jettys, surf fishing, and Indian River wading/island/boating fishing)primarily for redfish, Jack Crevalle, & Snook For my old man's 65th birthday, I'm looking to buy him a great new rod and reel setup to get him back into the saltwater fishing spirit Ten years ago and beyond, he was a huge Shimano + Ugly Stik fan (and, with a 17' Edgewater boat, caught many 30"+ and even 40"+ reds and JacksI can share pics if you want haha, just lmk)but checking online nowadays, it seems Daiwa BG (or BG MQ) has all but dominated the mid-class inshore saltwater reel market Based on everything I've shared so far, I'm curious what your guys' recommendation(s) would be for my dad's 65th (6/17) & Fathers' Day Thanks a ton!!!
Comment from : John Nugent Jr

I've seen, more than once, a fishing rod vanish off a boat deck at light speed Drop a $800 reel plus a $700 rod (??) off a boat in the deep water I'm going to learn to cry
Comment from : REDKLOCK RANCH

I’ve caught big 20-30 lbs black drum on a 3000 Daiwa emcast Baitrunner and 30 lb braid brBut it really depends on the style of fishing you’re doing brReally close to shore you can probably get the job done with 1000-3000 series reel 10-15 lb braid or mono brIf you wanna really get your bait out there, you’re gonna have to get a heavy power surf rod, and something with a lot of line like a shimano Baitrunner , or a okuma coronado, and generally 50lbs of braid atleast to withstand the weight of the bait and the weight of the lead brI generally run with a 6’ 6 to 7’2 rod medium light with a 2000 series reel 7-12 lbs of drag strength and 10-15 lb Just to catch sheepshead, small baitfish, small drum, even trout The emcast is good because it doesn’t take much line to fill the spool, and it comes with two spools, I have mono on one and braid in the other brAnd I generally use my surf rods for anything bigger

The thing about China is they don't recognize US and Europe patents, so they're essentially given the green light to copy and rip off whatever they want It's not illegal to them, even if it's highly immoral
Comment from : Joe Briben

Hello, a daiwa bg 3500 is it suitable for a popping rod 74 ft 40/80g?
Comment from : alpacarlo

We usually go fishing at a river mouth/mangrove delta system for Snook and Tarpon The snooks are usually in the 2-3lb sizes but the tarpons can get up to 40lb+, but generally under 20lbs What size reel and line test would you recommend? I usually use 3000 and 4000 size penn or shimano reels with 20lb - 40lb braided line Thank you
Comment from : Sunil Ramnath

What rod is that on the BG4500?
Comment from : RiverRuns NC

Hey guys awesome video and very helpful - just wondering how do the amount of bearing effect the reel? Is it worth paying for more in you reel?

So informative but the dumb and dumber parts take the cake on this video Much love guys and tight lines 🎣
Comment from : FishingWithDL

Ok guys i got a TFO tactical inshore 7ft medium and i was thinking on a stradic 4000 but now looking this video you recommend me a stradic 3000?
Comment from : Angel Zayas

Thnx Luke & Joe ! , br Maybe Mexico or Honduras or El Salvador ( poorer countries ) can have a chance to build some of your product ideas ,,, Manufacturing & Shipping Issues may be less problematic than having SE Asia to make & ship these these needed peoducts ,,, ( help consistency ) ,,, God Bless U & Ur Families 🐟🕊✨
Comment from : tidalflatz outdoors

Mocking someone Fucking not needed you can’t read every water It all depends on all angler’s experience We all learn from there The issue is you are misled🎣
Comment from : Gabriel Arce

No need to spend more than a hundred buck$ to get a very good reel such as a Shimano Sedona, Penn Pursuit, Daiwa BG, etc
Comment from : rfdsrd

The spinning reel sizing by manufacturer's is in a word, dumb There are no standards The sane way to pick spex on a spinner is to check the spool capacity for both braid and mono, check the retrieve ratio, check the max drag and how well it works, check the reel's weight
Comment from : rfdsrd

Great video, keep working on the shipping cost
Comment from : Dwight Cassidy

agreed ! 2500 to 3500 all the way from the kayak especially!
Comment from : Nelson Felix Outdoors

Yeah I’m an ultralight junky brbr50 inch redfish vs Daiwa ballistic 1000 and 6 pound j braid? brbrNo problem
Comment from : Joe

Would the slammer iv 2500 or 3500 be a better option? Going for trout, mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel, and redfish
Comment from : Seth Lindsey

Looking at my first inshore combo , I got a hold of a kastking pedigree II 7’6” medium heavy rod, and a Penn pursuit Iv 2500 , which seems to favorably compare to the Diawa fuego 3000 , is this gonna be too light a real for SC coastal inshore waters? To long a rod ? Should I go up to the 4000 size reel?
Comment from : Benjamin p

Is 3” difference (37 vs 34) significant enough to go with the larger same weight reel?
Comment from : Robert Hodge

What rod and reel would you suggest for salmon and snapper
Comment from : Glenn Lewis

Interesting and insightful Believe it or not watching this video made me rethink my reel choice for a 9’ surf spinning rod and drop down one size It was if I knew this instinctively but wasn’t willing to accept it based on old biases Thanks
Comment from : Alan Johnson

The drag is not low on that 1000 fuego it’s like 23lbs or something crazy like that
Comment from : 75th Teaster

Great reviews How about spinning reel casting distance
Comment from : Sylvester Merced

Is BG daiwa made in China?
Comment from : Rudeman 1

Interesting video & lots of good infobrbrJust wondering What would it take to create a spreadsheet, or some table, which would list the various characteristics of reels?brbrMy thought is headings like this:brManufacturer // Reel Name // Line size (range) // Line Capacity // Reel weight // Inches per full turn // any other columns that you think are relevantbrbrIt could start with the reels listed in the fish strong store as example and insiders could submit, or add, specifications for other reels we usebrbrProbably need to set up a standard format for submitting data, possibly a google form feeding a google spreadsheetbrbrAnyone have any other thoughts?
Comment from : Jack Kutzer jfkutzer-ar

I’m wondering what y’all’s option is on the penn battles And which one you would use for trout and slot reds Im on the Mississippi coast
Comment from : Trevin Merrill

I agree what you guys talking about because my experience tells thebrsamenessbrFor instance,brreel vs rod and smaller reel unless doing offshore fishingbrGood luck to youbrGuys !
Comment from : Andrew Yi

Which reel is good for medium heavy action 8fr rod?
Comment from : clasherz

On the Shimano Stradic FLs, the 2500 has felt drag washers and the 3000 carbon washers Might be worth going with the 3000brbrFishing the flats where I'm from, no one uses smaller than 4000 since we have big bonefish and GTs roaming around 5000 is more the norm
Comment from : mistermatsuda

I forgot to mention, there was a guy somewhere on YouTube that had about a dozen lines tied to a bar, a few were fluorocarbon, a few were mono and a few were braid, the one type of line that disappeared almost completely was fluorocarbon, braid was the most visible Not sure if any of that means anything, but I thought it was worth mentioning He also used 4 different colors to see which color disappeared the best, and clear was the winner

Using 1000s reel but load with line 100m is it okay?
Comment from : Cindylou Granada

Small reels have lite drag
Comment from : Sean bibby

Nice video By the way the main difference between Fuego and BG is that BG sizes are the old typical Daiwa Sizes, whilst the LT Daiwa series has adopted (basically) the Shimano size conventionbrComparing old Daiwa sizes with Shimano( or new Daiwa) it approximately is:brDaiwa (old) - Shimano (Daiwa new)br2500 - 4000br3000 - 5000br4000 - 6000br5000 - 10000br6500 - 18000/20000br8500 - maybe 25000 but not sure
Comment from : HBweisse

What rod did you have matched with the BG 4500? It looks like an St Croix Avid Onshore
Comment from : Steve Dupree

i have a 20+ year old shimano sienna that i think i paid $30 for it has been through salt and sand and every other type of hell i have never even so much as rinsed it works like the day it was new
Comment from : james mann

I wish that I had seen this video before I bought the Diawa Ballistic LT 5000 I purchased this when I compared the body of this reel to the couple of others I own in the 3000 series of other brands that I own Dont get me wrong, the Ballistic is a fantastic reel

What's wrong with a bait casting reel??

Comment from : Yaj Tramer

Based on this info, would it be safe to say, not only is a 1000 size reel lighter (enabling your wrist / arm not tire as easily), the 1000 size reel might be a better choice for trout fishing in extremely cold conditions, when the slowest possible retrieve is recommended of course, slowing down your retrieve can accomplish this same slow retrieve, but as many will say - "when you think you are fishing slow, slow it down even more" With the 1000 size reel, retrieving on average 10" less than a 2500 or 3000, the 1000 will actually help prohibit you from retrieving too fast in these winter months when the slowest possible retrieve is preferred brIn my opinion, inshore saltwater fishing for Speckled Trout, Red Fish, Etc, seems to be moving more towards freshwater bass fishing Personally, I have started using many baits traditionally used for bass fishing, to catch Speckled Trout /Drum That being said, just as bass fisherman have found they are catching large/jumbo size bass actually "speed cranking" and finding success with these faster speeds/baits during winter months, when traditionally, the slower you can retrieve baits, the more success you will have These higher speeds are actually getting a reaction bite, even when these fish are lethargic
Comment from : Seth Rogers

I like this guy he is cool !!!!! SMART
Comment from : Michael Yanni

So what is the Tarpon Reel you were talking about? I dont do much Tarpon but I do enjoy Cobia fishing in the Spring I currently use a 5000 Penn Battle brwhich I absolutly love but I am open to trying something new
Comment from : Mike Bainter

1000 Reel is great for Crappie fishing!

Abu garcia revo 2000 is great for a 150 spool of braid
Comment from : David Carvolth

What is the rod that's with the BG?
Comment from : Robert Hubbard

For me, SoCal fishing with Phenix trifecta lite 9’ paired with a fuego LT 3000 to toss artificials with #20 braid and short flouro leader The setup is crazy light but I could probably go to a lighter reel with what I’ve been catching😆
Comment from : petera1117

3000 is my sweet spot Perfect size, in my opinion
Comment from : Hookset

For some reels 2500 have a I shape knob handle and 3000 a T shape That’s why they make this 2 very similar in size The handle style is the difference
Comment from : John Grosariu

You guys put me on Daiwa and now I am never turning back The fuego can handle big fish and the bg is a great live bait reel for pulling fish out I have not experienced flex with the fuego With 10 pound braid and drag set light you can’t flex it Thanks guys!
Comment from : Bold City Fishing

Oh😳is Soo nice set sir me request sir can't I get one set of rod sir hehehe watching from Philippines ☺️☺️
Comment from : Monde fishing vlog

Sorry but I disagree with the concept THE BEST inshore rod We each fish differently and thus look for different things in rod when choosing one What I like, you might not & vice versa
Comment from : Andrew Sokol

Gear ration to spool diameter is not true ,actually it’s the gear ration to the rotor arc or space between rotor arms which accomodate the right spool diameter ie having a smaller spool dia would take same line retrieval of the bigger one in the same reel rotor arc justify bigger/small spool diameter

Comment from : Nicholas Sabella

I caught a 25lb giant trevally on a fuego 3000 and a daiwa legalis sea bass rod 7 foot on a 40 gram jig it was a hard fight and the rod nearly broke but got the fish to the boat at the end
Comment from : Micheal Medhat

I still use two Mitchell Reels for saltwater, dock fishing and wade fishingG4000 and the AVSIV 4000…they have held up for years, a little spray with freshwater and most of these reels can last! However I do also have a BG 6500 and you really can’t beat that for tarpon and pulling giant snook from under piers! 👍 thanks for the videos guy, this helps a lot of fisherman even those who aren’t in our insider club! Thanks guystight lines

I just wanna know if I can put my 4000 size reel on my tsunami slime wave
Comment from : GENNERO bootz

Yes my tsunami shield is a 4000 but it’s like a 3500 or a 3000 size reel
Comment from : GENNERO bootz

Can you put heavier line than what is stated on the reel Also i have a couple 5000 reels And i notice I’m not catching as much as i feel i should Do any of that matter brTSSPE5000brTSCIT5000brbrAlso i have an old Daiwa SS tournament 1600 Any good?
Comment from : Juan Ramon Lopez jr

The 3000 Fuego/Ballastic also gets the bigger handle, which is nice
Comment from : joefbtg28

I would be curious your guys thoughts on spool diameter and the casting release (where it sits on your finger) I can put a casting plug in a soup can at 120 feet with a bait caster but can't hit a barn door with a spinning rod I saw where the smaller reels sit different on your finger due to rod angle? Would a 3000 be easier to cast in this respect?
Comment from : Michael Kelley

Hi Joe and Luke - You both mentioned you used to buy a lot of 4K size reels Nowadays the technology has gotten so good that the 4K reels are sometimes 8 oz or less I use a MedHeavy Rods - like Pro Green and Green Water from GLoomis - really good rods and pricey The 4K reels like the KAGE MQ seem to balance it out perfectly… Is this wrong? I still line it up w/ 10lb power pro and seem to be able to cast a mile
Comment from : Sam Carrier

Shamono sienna $30 reel there great very smooth drag
Comment from : Tim Helton

Would be great to have a video that explains all the range of spinning reels and their application For eg I have a long cast meridian 7000, should I use it for surf casting only or can I use it offshore?
Comment from : Tushaar Daiboo

Hi guys always good content Can you make a video on budget rods like (daiwa D wave…sweepfire…shimano FX… even the GX2 ugly stick etcetc) thanks in advance
Comment from : sparks

OMG Good stuff Guy's ,love the comparisons and the crazy differances between makes and even Models of same brand ,Thanks for that,Also never and I mean Never Apologize for Dumb and Dummer References LOL Great Movie,,, and third I really think the over seas market should be exposed for the junk they try to pass off as economical Peace

Comment from : Shane F

Hy Im kinda new to salt strong and I fish in south Africa so I know it's not always the same I just want to know on your bg do you go higher than 30lb braid and if you do for what type of fish
Comment from : Yazeed Petersen

can you have less bs in your video and go straight forward to the topic Every single video on this channel is more like a commerical than a helpful fishing guide video
Comment from : Tony Wong

Well done!
Comment from : Herb Counselorh

I choose the shimano 3000 size over the 2500 because i do a lot of bank fishing and I’m my situation the line does matter when you hooked up to a 31inch red and next you make catch a small flounder that’s how saltwater fishing is
Comment from : KhmerHarry

I love the Daiwa BG
Comment from : Mark David

$800 reel!!!! I went to tackle shop to get line on my $30 daiwa crossfire from academy and the guy almost couldn’t tell the difference between that and the daiwa procyon that they had in the store So I even question whether a $150-$200 reel is even worth it if the pros can’t barely tell
Comment from : Kala E

For me the 3000/3500 size is about comfort at that point, not necessity
