If you're in the market for a new reel and aren't sure of which one to choose, definitely check out the Daiwa BG MQ inshore spinning reel series.
Although there are several different sizes of the BG MQ, the weight differences are only slight.
And deciphering the differences in reel sizes can be a little daunting if you are not sure of what to look for.
So in this video, you'll see how the 2500, 3000, and 4000 Daiwa BG MQ reels compare, and the one big advantage to going up in size with this series of spinning reels.
Have any questions about these reel sizes and which one is right for you?

Been fishing my BG MQ 2500 (which I bought from Salt Strong) pretty regularly since I got it several weeks ago. Spooled it with #10 braid . Using it for back bay fishing here in NJ and have caught striped bass, bluefish & fluke (summer flounder). Love the reel.
Rod?

I'm really liking that 4000 for backbays and walking the beaches
Have enjoyed mine immensely the past three weeks paired with a Diawas rod. Right after buying the 3000 on Salt Strong, I also bought the Diawas Certate LT 4000 for my new Black Pelican Weapon custom rod. The smooth, strong drag and the pure winching power are certainly special on each real compared to other brands I’ve used.
Hey how do they stack up with each other? Both have 12kg drag, or close to on the bg mq right? But is the bg smooth under heavy drag load like the certate? Cheers. I can't afford a certate so looking at the bg mq 4000
@@NewZealandOceanArt they are each incredibly smooth with similar drag power on equivalent sizes. I fish both reels daily and either one is fantastic, with the understanding that the Certate is specced higher (bearings, Mag Seal, etc).
What rod did you pair the 3000 with?
I have Fuego LT 3000D-C and Saltist 4000. Now I am targeting a BGMQ to fill the space in between. What size of BGMQ will you suggest?
I just bought a 4000 which has the same drag, and I am considering using it for striper in New England, but I don't know what max size fish it can handle. I already have a penn slammer 6500 HS and a 4500 Daiwa bg, but the Penn is on the bigger side for the cape cod canal and in my opinion not needed. I can do the job with less but I don't know if the 4000 bg mq is too little.
Would the 4000 size be good paired with a lighter action 8ft surf rod?
Very informative 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I wanna use it for pike lure fishing on Tatula 2.40m 28-84 lure rod ,its 1-3 oz in your measurment...4000 version right?
Nice information
Not in same weight class though and it's always better to go with line weight class to match rod
I bought a 20-70 threaded rod, can I combine it with 4000 daiwa bg mq?
for good size snook is the 4k the best?
I have the original daiwa Bg in 2500, 3000 and 4000. The 4 is just to big for me unless your surf fishing. The 2500 is amazing and can be used on lighter setups but the 3000 is all around the best. Curious the size comparison between the Bg and bgmq

I bought a BG 4000 from Bass Pro, I use it in the Indian River.
What rod and line you have on it?
Almost got one from bass pro shop in my area but did not know if they were sealed like the penn reels so out of that concern got me another spinfisher vi but i really like there slammer 3 reels
MQ is sealed. Last longer than Penn. Igor an old Bg5000 is 45 years old. Due to being heavy and built like a tank, I rarely used it but bought a BG4500 twin stopper. I also got a metal body Ryobi Applause and Vertigo ( the most copied reel ) is 35 and 40 year old. grease irregularly but worked fine. The old reels built stronger but newer ones is smoother . Never goes wrong with a BLACK GOLD ! Old ones have Banax copied !
Good for jetty fishing trout, red drums and flounder?
4000 bg and 4000 mq has the same spool size?
70g softbait rod 13kg line ratting for kingfish topwater lures and big softbaits new Zealand land based cheers
Love my BG MQ 4k with my custom Bull BAY rod.. its amazing for the price.
Targeting striped bass on the kayak, would you go for a Saltist MQ 3k or 4k?

Price ranges?
Have you spooled the 3000 an 4000. Idea what they hold with 30 pound braid ? Personal experience not Daiwa’s website.
Thanks!

Les escribo desde la provincia detrujillo en Perú. Soy nuevo en esto, pero quisiera pedir una recomendación en el equipo que nesecito para pescar en playa o en piedras de playas, se que recomiendan una caña larga , y tengo pensado una de fibra de carbono de 3 metros aproximadamente, pero que carrete deberia usar? O con cuál línea? O con cuál sebo?
I fish a lot of small shallow drains and back lakes. I am usually using a 6.5 rod. Only in open water do I need the cast distance that a 7.5 rod gives. What would be the best reel for mostly fishing artificial baits for me?
Between $100 - $150 on a reel and $150 -$200 on a rod
I put more emphasis into the rod now. The reel is just a winch to get the fish in. I just do not like cheap reels that last maybe a year or less even with good care.
St Croix Premier, medium, fast action, 6’6” with regular Daiwa BG in 2500 or 3000. I also really like the Duckett reels, they are “bass reels” but at ~$90 for the entry level ones i think they are as nice if not nicer then the BGs. Much nicer then Penns in that price range.
Fuego for sure since your fishing lures so light and works great drag etc. Reels selection depends on scenarios of fishing. I wouldn’t give that answer if you said I like to fish off of jetty’s or wade/surf fish. I think the fuego gives the best bang for buck.
The flex you’re speaking of I have not seen myself to the extreme that I would not choose this reel for fishing freshwater and most inshore salt applications. Also not talking about big tarpon, tuna, pelagics etc …Anyways to each their own again I wouldn’t go out and get a fuego lt if I decided I was bait fishing or chunking for monsters I would use a different reel.I will say I have only had a 3000 fuego lt since March. I fish the Chesapeake bay. I have caught striped bass we call them rockfish up to 40 inches pre spawn albeit just a couple fish over 30 inches but probably 400 schoolies in total, a cow nose ray that was decent size, and snakehead up to 7 pounds plus other fish. Cownose rays and big 15 pound bass are drag screamers. I fish from shore with a 7 foot medium heavy rod. The drag is great I have fished with a lot of different reels. I mostly fish lures right now not that I am against bait and will probably fish some bait in the near future. All the fish caught were on 15-20 pound power pro to either a mono or Fluro 15 pound leader of 2-3 feet using the improved Albright knot or Alberto knot. On all the big fish I have had to lock down the drag since I fish from shore especially on the cownose that had peeled off 70 yards of line. So if we’re taking largemouth bass fishing or smallmouth bass on a budget reel fishing lures I am 100 percent confident the fuego lt will do the job.
Love the reel, the smoothness but like WTF... the 8000 is the same size as my penn battle 3 5000. Took the reel on a 1 day boat trip and ran out of line rock fishing where you need to hit 50 fathoms or more.... nothing like the BG 8000. A little bummed that they nurtured it.
Thanks for watching and leaving the comment!
are the spools interchangeable with daiwa bg mq ark ? thx
If they are the same size
Question: Which Reel by Daiwa (not necessarily these models of the BGMQ) should I buy? I was looking at the new Saltist MQ line. I plan on targeting fish like Mahi, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, and some of the bottom species like Snapper. Not doing sail fishing or big Tuna, maybe black fin or skip jack, though.
ballistic mq
What is the price difference? For each model?
Pricing is the same. MSRP $199.99
As long as they have the same drag capacity you can interchange the spool sizes..the new daiwa bg sw 8000 spool will fit to the body of daiwa bg 5000 h...same body with multiple spool sizes to choose from but, make sure they have the same drag sizes.😊😊
Thanks!
I don't get why Daiwa didn't follow their naming rules for BG MQ.
4000size should be renamed 4000D-CXH.
GOOD POINT! I wondered the same thing...
I've the 5000 6000 best fixed spools reels very powerful reel
Thanks for watching!
has nobody noticed the 4000 bail hits the spool when its at its highest part of the rotation? i think the 4000 is just a 3000 with a 4000 spool.

I have a regular BG 2500, what's the difference
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
Wow...you didn't talk about difference in drag? Is there any?
2500 and 3000 are 10kg (22lb) and the 4000 is 12kg (26.5lb)
@@jordanspurling772 impressive
I use 4000 for offshore snapper fishing lol
What rod and line setup you have paired up with it?
Why would you use a 2500 vs a 4000 when they're the same size?!
They're not the same size though.
Too funny, a Daiwa BLACK GOLD with no GOLD... Too funny...
BG stands for "big game"
@@Im-mv6bf no, no it doesn't, it stands for Black/Gold, look it up...
@@Im-mv6bf Turns out, you are correct, leave it to daiwa to make it confusing... My apologies.
