## Description

The next generation of our ever popular BG spinning reel series just got leaner and meaner. This complete series ranges from ultralight freshwater actions to heavy big game saltwater models.

Review: Good price, well made and swings above its weight class. - I suppose ordinarily, customarily, it would be prudent to wait to review a product until after you've really had a chance to use (and abuse) it. However, I got this reel in the mail today and got to using it nearly immediately. Now granted, I'm really not a huge gear head (the last reel/rod combo I bought was in 2005) but this is the nicest reel I've ever used. It has such a smooth, easy cast and a really nice drag with it that I'm just over the moon. No regrets whatsoever about this purchase. I would imagine that there's honestly better equipment out there - deals to be had, more bearings, less weight etc, but this reel fell just under $100. Not by much, but ce'est la vie, it feels like a steal at that price, it really does. I went freshwater fishing today in a large river and I caught nothing on it, as a caveat, but it didn't hardly seem to matter because all the other important dynamics were there as previously mentioned. One final note: while it's a bit vain and a little silly, this reel also just looks really nice. Once you open the box, you kind of get enough of a different perspective than the desertcart pics to kind of understand, it just looks nice. Solid reel, don't think you can go wrong with it!
Review: BG's are king! - I now own three different size Daiwa BG and I truly appreciate all of them a lot! Their price does not reflect their performance, they most absolutely feel and handle like a reel twice their price. My favorite is the 2500, it flat out handles any fish I've caught on it so far and it does so with style, I'm hoping to add some more heavy-weight fish for my 4500 to give it a reel run for the money ;) I recently got the 1500 to use for my ultra-light, haven't caught fish on it, but the reel it retired (not defect but garbage..) is in comparison not comparable, much smoother and I like the added weight! My only wish was that Daiwa made the BG's in 750 size, that would be really cool. As far as weight goes, they are a bit heavier, I personally like that, the reel feels solid and you know it's made of actual quality materials. Pairings: 2500 -> 7' Light St. Croix premier, 10/10 4500 -> 7' Uggly stick, 7.5/10 1500 -> 6' UL St. Croix trout, 8.5/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it really the 2017, because the price is higher most places**
A: I'm not sure about that but at this price you get a lot for your money, it comes in a red box. I used this yesterday surf fishing I was surprised how smooth this reel is in part because of the main gear where the handle is screwed in is much larger than reels in this class and smooth as silk, Bass pro shops and others sell the Diawa product at a much higher price it's about how much profit they need to make.Remember Amazon has the best return policy in the industry which I have used in the past.

**Q: Where can I get parts**
A: I would try Daiwa's customer support .

**Q: How is this reel for trout fishing in lakes and rivers?**
A: Thank you for your question,

The BG2500 is a model that was designed for saltwater inshore applications and may be a bit heavy for trout fishing.

For trout we would recommend the BG1500 or BG2000 as the optimal sizes in this series.

**Q: Is there a difference between bg and bg saltwater?  or are they the same?**
A: Thank you for your question.

This model is the BG2500, sometimes referred to as the BG2500 saltwater, but it is the same reel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best reel I've ever owned...
*by J***N on March 21, 2019*

Super far-casting. This is my new favorite reel, ever. I have been using it every day for a couple of weeks, coupled with an ugly stick (Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod 7' medium 2 pc). Perfect together. I went to cast my favorite bass lure from the boat towards the shore, which in this case was a rocky cliff wall. This was my first cast with this new rig. I was about 70 feet out, and intended to cast into the water a few feet from the wall. Instead, I hit the wall about eye level (about 6 feet above the waterline). I simply didn't think I could cast such a small lure so far. I am really impressed with this combo. Now that I'm used to it, I can put a jig in a hat at 50 feet all day. Very accurate. And it has improved my top distance by about 30-40 percent. It's a joy to use this thing. So smooth... Even the sounds it makes are just right, as strange as that may sound. Highly recommend it at any price. For the first time I don't feel like I was ripped off by a big name. This thing is worth every penny, and better than any I've used before.
