DAIWA BG8000 BG SPINNING REEL
Since its reintroduction in 2016, the Daiwa BG has become a staple in a number of fisheries across North America. Renowned for its durability and phenomenal performance at an unbeatable price, the BG is sure-fire winner for anything from ultralight fishing to offshore trophy hunting. Here at TackleDirect, there is no other spinning reel we would suggest to inshore, offshore, or surf anglers who are looking for the absolute best bang for their buck!
SUPERIOR FEEL AND PERFORMANCE
When the reel is in your hands, anglers will immediately notice the BG's rigid construction. Despite its relatively light weight, the reel feels solidly built, with every component from the handle and body to the rotor and bail feeling well connected for a confidence inspiring feel. No creaks, no noise, no flex - just rock solid construction and fluid operation. Turning the handle feels effortlessly smooth with little to no "gear feel".
While the out-of-the-box feeling is impressive, out-on-the-water is where the BG truly shines. Its smooth operation remains consistent, even under heavy loads. The rigid body and sturdy frame effectively resist torque and flex, maintaining stability even when battling powerful fish under intense drag pressure. The drag system delivers a smooth, steady payout, eliminating the sticky, inconsistent feel found in lower-quality reels. Overall, most TackleDirect customers agree that the Daiwa BG is unrivaled in its class of spinning reels when it comes to durability and overall quality.
FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY
Specializing in toughness and capability, the BG is equipped with some of Daiwa's best technologies to ensure the job gets done. One of the most notable is the presence of DIGIGEAR. This technology is Daiwa's first-generation digitally engineered gear system that delivers a flawless connection between the ultra-durable drive gear and pinion gears, maximizing speed, power, and longevity for seamless operation. DIGIGEAR reels feature gear sets that are 20% to 40% larger than those of similar reels. The gears feature a larger tooth pattern that dramatically increases gear lifespan, as well as improving power transmission for superior winding power. Housing these oversized gears is a lightweight, super strong, and highly corrosion resistant aluminum body.
To enhance overall balance and functionality, Daiwa implemented their Air Rotor technology into the BG. The Air Rotor sets a new standard in rotor design, offering a lighter, stronger, and more balanced system than ever before. This innovation enhances reel sensitivity and ensures exceptional rotational stability for superior performance. Couple this advanced rotor with Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD), and you have a reel that's up to any challenge. ATD features an advanced drag grease that remains low in viscosity when at rest but thickens instantly upon drag activation. This minimizes initial start-up resistance, and when combined with the structural enhancements of the ATD Drag System, ensures a smoother, more consistent drag performance from the moment the fish is hooked.
DAIWA TECHNOLOGY FOUND IN BG SPINNING REELS
-
Air Rotor - The Air Rotor is up to 15% lighter than traditional rotor designs. Its innovative shape minimizes excess weight while evenly distributing stress across the rotor, enhancing overall strength and durability.
-
Aluminum Body - Aluminum is both lightweight and exceptionally strong, offering durability without the added weight or corrosion concerns associated with other metals.
-
ATD Drag - The Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system utilizes a specially formulated grease that ensures smooth and consistent drag pressure from the initial pull. This eliminates the jerky, stop-and-go motion that can lead to broken lines and lost fish.
-
DigiGear - A system of precisely machine-cut and polished gears, ensuring superior efficiency, optimal energy transfer, and exceptionally smooth performance.
