    Solid smooth reel

    The reel is very solid feeling and smooth with a slight amount of handle backlash. I did need to shim the spool to get an even line lay, the spool loading was biased toward the top. Loaded with 300yds of 30lb braid. The Daiwa BG series reels are slightly larger than other manufacturers reels of the same size category. I have only used this reel a couple of times in the surf throwing Daiwa SP minnows, Luckycraft 110 minnows, Calissa minnows and 1oz Miki jigs on a 10’7” Okuma Hawaiian Custom Menpachi rod. I have had no problem with the bail tripping on its own as some other reviewers have mentioned. The reel is heavy which helps balance the weight of my 10’7” rod. This reel is a good bargain at its price point.

    BG4000 not like BG4500!

    The bail on the new BG4000 snaps shut while casting. You can not surf cast w/ this reel, your expensive lures will snap off during the cast! The new BG4000 & smaller sizes are NOTHING like the BG4500 & larger (HEAVIER) reels....although close in looks, & price. The BG4000 has an automatic bail trip mechanism too weak to stand up to saltwater casting. The BG4000 also -does not have- a rotor brake, or backup mechanical anti reverse, of the larger BG4500 & up! You have to take the automatic bail mechanism out of the BG4000 to use it. The BG4000 is a 200yrds of 40lb braid reel, but is not built to take 40lb line. They had great chance to build a lightweight modern reel that held up to 40lb. line, but made a average reel instead.

  • Daiwa BG 4000 Daiwa reels

    The reborn new Daiwa BG that stood the test of time on charter boats over 30 yrs. is a must have.Top quality reel as good as the $1000.00 Shimano Stellas.This reel holds more line than any other brand.The size is a bit larger but not much, but you need that with the bigger powerful main gear,They look great feel great,work great hold more line,.... These are my first Daiwas I own 2 now a 3500 BG and a 4000 BG that are used more than my 4000 Shimanos which hold 100 yd's less than the BG's 4000 .Daiwa has been around for ages and the BG series is affordable and comes in a variety of sizes and in between sizes that other reel manufacturers do not offer without buying another reel...Daiwa did it right again with this reel.perfect size 4000 and 3500 for inshore and offshore....

  • Best reel for the money

    This is THE BEST reel you can get for your money. It has been engineered to be tough, reliable and strong. I own several, from the 2500, 4000, 5000, and 6500. I use them for everything from small fish to big ones. I use them in The Gulf of Mexico, offshore and inshore. They stand up to the elements (salt) and are just great reels. They have excellent drag and are smooth as silk. GET yours- you will not regret it.

  • Good Saltwater Reel for the Money.

    Great reel, saltwater specific. Some claim a little heavy compared to competitors but looking online at other specs it seems in line. They run a little big, I wouldn't want to cast it all day. I put this on 10' surf rods that I had BG 4500 on. They were a little big for the rods.

  • Great reel

    This is my 2nd BG reel with the other one being a size larger (4500). The BG lays the braid on the spool perfectly and casts amazingly well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the air rotor design allows the wind to whistle though the cut outs. Sounds like someone blowing across the top of a bottle and it can get annoying since I bought this for salt water fishing.

  • Top notch spinning reel

    Haven't used it fishing yet, but my first impression is excellent. Excellent quality and very smooth operation. I look forward to hitting the water with it. I bought it for inshore saltwater fishing. The line spool is the best I've seen for braided line.

  • Great Fishing Reel

    I always used penn fishing reels until a buddy recommended the Diawa BG. He said it is a workhorse and his favorite reel. I thought I would try it out. Thanks for a great product. I highly recommend this to everyone wanting a good strong fishing reel.

  • Best bang for your buck

    The line capacity, weight, drag, and price of the Daiwa BG 4000 is second to none. If you are looking for a saltwater do-it-all spinning reel, and don’t want to break the bank, this reel is for you.
