according to the manual it came with and confirmed with daiwa engineers, the linelay is supposed to be shaped like a cone. that's why your linelay has a dimple right below the spool lip which would hurt casting distance if using for the surf as well as windknots if the line slides up into the dimple causing it to be loose when casted, on a boat it doesn't really matter.
Great reels. My only question is, what are you gonna ado with 1.1km of line on your reel.....perhaps some 50 pound mono backing would have Been more cost effective....or a smaller reel like a 4000 or similar
My Penn battle 3 10,000 didn't even get 600 yards of 0.45mm 65 lb braid on it and it's a lot bigger than my bg 8000s and 500 of 65 lb braid nearly fills my bgs so how small is that line
@@FishingWithWilsowell not exactly. There’s more drag at the tip of the rod then at the top of the reel. The line having to travel through all the eyes of the rod and the force of the fisherman pulling back on the fish adds quite a few kg of drag. At the tip of the rod it’s probably closer to 25 kg
Wow what a process, but nothing wrong with doing it right. Is there a specific way to putting the plastic washers on? Just take the spool of and place washers. I have never seen those washers before. Also what do you think the best size rod to use with the 8000 bg , I'm wondering if my ugly stick big water 10ft will match . The first guide on the rod is about 4 cm in diameter. And about 2.5 ft from the reel seat
Is the mono backing just so the braid doesnt slip? If so couldnt you fix that by putting a wrap of electrical tape before you put any line on the reel?
What diameter was the braid you are using. 4 & 8. I will be using J braid 50lb. Should I use 4 strand (500m)aswell as 8 strand (300m). Then about 150m 50lb giant Abrasion mono. How much j braid do you think I can get on the BG8000
I would use the J-Braid 40lb (it is a lot stronger and higher diameter), the 4 strand for backing and the 8 strand for casting. 600m 40lb DAIWA J Braid 4 strand as backing and 300m 8 strand DAIWA J-Braid as topshot for casting.
ASFN Fishing thanks for your reply. I should have probably said that I hope to use the reel for slidebaiting, chasing Mackerel from the beach. Do you still recommend 40lb.
I am looking to buy one of those Daiwa BG 8000 reels, but still not 100% sure. Will it be a good reel for using on Nam west coast as well as general river/dam fishing with the kids?
I have st croix triumph 10'6 and the blank is fairly thick I have a penn conflict 8000 on it which is a perfect fit I'm thinking of purshasing a dawia bg and I know there a bigger than most other brands what would be a good size for that paticluar rod
If you had the choice between the BG 8000 and the Saltist 8000 what would your choice be? I am looking into buying 1 of the 2 reels, I bought the rod now i need to match the reel to it.
Dogfight if ur budget allows for it but the bg will work but it won't have the drag like the dogfight but it will just fine just watch how u put the drag and how much
I'm subscribed and everything. But doesn't changing your mono Everytime you fish a little to much? I don't agree with that. But then again. I'm not a pro fisherman
I would really appreciate if you do a demonstration on how washers work to properly align the line in the spool. I have the washer never knew what they are for until I saw your video. Didn't see that anywhere else in the internet and was clueless what they are for. Thought they could be replacement washers. However, just by explaining doesn't tell a lot what to do. A step by step detailed video would be much appreciated and I believe it will have great interest among other viewers...
if your reel forms a cone .i.e. , not aligning the line parallel to the spools core then you can adjust this by adding or removing a washer from the shaft. To do this you have to remove first the drag knob , then the spool to expose the metal shaft . Add a washer if the line is gathers on top or remove one vice versa .... simple as that .
Did you put 4x or 8x strand braid on the real ? 4 x does make a louder noise than 8x as its less smoother. If you not sure about it take it in to the shop you bought it from and let them have a look. They bullet proof reels but you may have bought the dud 1.
You can, but it is advisable to add a little bit of mono first, even 10m. the braid goes under a lot of pressure, if a spool heats up when on a big fish it expands and compress the braid but when it cools down again the braid doesnt expand back resulting in all the braid spinning on the spool.
@@cameronbamess697 under your spool as in open the drag knob and take out your spool and add a washer on the shaft and close it up and if it needs another washer just do the same procedure
I like your videos. Keep up the good work. Dankie.
I had to take a washer out from my new slammer 3 8500 to get the line to lay even.
Great video, I want a BG reel like that.

That's a big ass reel! Thanks for the tutoríal!
What does it mean when they say fly line with this set up.
How many meters can accommodate of this reel? Lets just say PE 2 and 40lb braid line, how many meters fit to that?
My Penn battle 3 10,000 didn't even get 600 yards of 0.45mm 65 lb braid on it and it's a lot bigger than my bg 8000s and 500 of 65 lb braid nearly fills my bgs so how small is that line
How much metres of 40lb jbraid would the bg 8000 take with 100m mono backing?
what braid diameters you use ? 0.28mm? For 1000meters ?
1.1 KM DAMN SON!
Does this reel have the capacity to cast out to rays from the uk beach fir breach casting please?
Why dont you use heavier braid like 80#? that way you could really crank up the drag on the larger fish without the line snapping
You could crank up the drag all the way with 50lb line, Daiwa BG only has 15kg drag

The longer road the better generally ...especially if you cast from the shore . I woudn't suggest anything shorter than 13 feet
11 foot ugly would work perfectly
what fishing 1000m??!jajaj is amazing!, maybe more price braid that very good bg8000 130$...........how much it weight with braid?

you can
I heard the BG doesnt need any backing?
Great knowledge and Informative video thanks
Hey I wanna see this reel in action have you used it in any of your videos?
En que caña montas ese reel para una pesca pesada?

Can I use this reel with 18 1b mono then 15 to 70 1b shock leader with the first cuple feet cut off to match my line then use it for beach fishing?

Yes, but you will need the Monofilament 50lb topshot to slide

Yes, Not the 8000 series. Probably 5000 or 6500
Where does the washer go?

If you had the choice between the BG 8000 and the Saltist 8000 what would your choice be? I am looking into buying 1 of the 2 reels, I bought the rod now i need to match the reel to it.
If your budget allow the Saltis 8000, you cant go wrong but the BG8000 is exceptional value for money.
What rod my friend ?
I bought the Okuma metaloid surf rod 14.6"
Wait what type of game are you fishing with this set up?
Hi asfn what Daiwa spinning reel would you recommend for catching big fish/sharks the BG or the dogfight?
Dogfight if ur budget allows for it but the bg will work but it won't have the drag like the dogfight but it will just fine just watch how u put the drag and how much

Did you really get over 1000 yards of 50 pound braid on there?
yes 48lb Cobra under a lot of tention
I purchased this reel for surf shark fishing. Should I go the 50 lb route for line or should I put 65 lb braid instead?
@@TJXHT just looked it up it’s more 1148 yards 🙃
@@TJXHT that’s the 8k in the video. But yeah 50lb is good for the 5k. They’re big reels.
@@TJXHT maybe he’s a shark fisherman
Great video.
What is the diameter of the braid?
I just got the Daiwa bg 6500 with 50 ib test braid line , I get a loud noise when retrieving the line, is this normal? thank you!
Did you put 4x or 8x strand braid on the real ? 4 x does make a louder noise than 8x as its less smoother. If you not sure about it take it in to the shop you bought it from and let them have a look. They bullet proof reels but you may have bought the dud 1.
With 4x it is normal, 8x will make less noise
Seems like a lot of unnecessary wear on the brake washers of the second reel ...
That sure looks like you`re over spooled?
can i get a link to that braid please
Love This Real!
what lb? diameters?
what s name ans dire of 1050 m braided?

How much does the reel cost
Around R 2500.00
It's 130 retail but it's on amazon for 100
RaZe Josh 110$
Doesn't backing go on the inside of your reel? Tied to the spool?
how much....
Can I add just straight braid?
You can, but it is advisable to add a little bit of mono first, even 10m. the braid goes under a lot of pressure, if a spool heats up when on a big fish it expands and compress the braid but when it cools down again the braid doesnt expand back resulting in all the braid spinning on the spool.
I like my B G 8000 its a wench
i have 600m of braid on my bg 8000
Better to focus on reel not your face...
Yes, i would have liked to see an example of where to put the washers.
