About Us

Daiwa's first spinning reel rolled off the assembly line in 1955. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest and influential tackle companies.

From the very beginning, Daiwa's emphasis has been upon innovation and quality. The result is a long list of product features, design and materials that have become standards for the fishing tackle industry. It is a long-standing record of innovation, the type of innovation that has left a visible mark on the majority of tackle manufactured today, innovation that continues to advance the sport of fishing.

Product 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.

Customers like the size of the fishing reel. They say it's big and beefy, good for large fish, and a good fit for their hand.
