From the manufacturer
Daiwa BG Reels
The BG series ranges from ultralight freshwater actions to heavy big game saltwater models. With a strong black Anodized Machined Aluminum Housing and a solid faster in handle this reel is extremely rigid.
The BG reels also feature an all-aluminum frame and features Digigear technology. Compared to most of the competition, the gears are between 20% to 40% larger. The gears also feature a larger tooth pattern, giving the gears a much longer gear life and durability than competitive reels. Tests reveal a gear life that is one to three times the length of competitive reels.

ALUMINIUM BODYLightweight and incredibly strong, aluminium allows strength and weightlessness to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals. |
AIR ROTORLighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that’s come before, ‘Air Rotor’ delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate reel sensitivity and rotational balance. |
DIGIGEARDaiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up. |
ATD DRAGDaiwa’s first generation of digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough drive gear and pinion gears for optimized speed, power, durability and smoothness. |

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018
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

Lo recomiendo ampliamente.. es de mis favoritos para las batallas en agua salada.!
Since Daiwa announced the updated versions of the classic Black-Gold reels, I've been itching to pick up one and take it on the water. I finally got my chance when Amazon stocked it, so I didn't hesitate. Price was fair and came in cheaper than the larger outdoors stores, so that's a positive.
At the moment, I've got this reel paired with a Fenwick HMX 6'6" XF rod and using Sufix 832 Braid. The combination is well balanced and lightweight. The only tip I can provide is to NOT overload this reel. For my purposes, I know I can't cast 200 yards, so I'm not going to unnecessarily overload the reel. If you do, you'll enjoy a lot of tangles, and that's just not a lot of fun.
Build quality feels solid all-around and after 100+ hours on the water so far, doesn't show any weak points or signs of wear. I've checked the reel arm, the spool and all moving joints - I'm pleased to say it still looks brand new.
Casting is very smooth with the only faults being the occasional user-error where I've overshot my target - but that has nothing to do with the reel. The retrieve is also silky-smooth with a very confident crank when you're bringing your lure in. There's no wobble or noise reeling in. When you get the reel, just spin the crank to evaluate the smoothness, if there's any play, double check the fastening of the handle. The drag system is a real gem on this reel, handling much more than similar reels of this size and very durable.
I've had great luck this season with Bass, Pike and Walleye - this reel handled them all without choking. For the price compared to other reels in this size, you're getting a lot of the features which are on reels priced at $300+. Happy hunting.
I have 2 of the 2500 series, and will pick up another one when it goes on sale.
Definitely recommend this reel 5/5.
