I bought a BG 3000 last July. Great reel. I use it for fresh water. Bass, stripe, blue gill, trout. What ever you throw at it, the BG excels. What size leader do you use with your 30 pound braid?
Without a doubt. Have friends that target large Virginia Muskie and the bg handles it no problem. They use 20lb braid but you can horse em a bit more with 40 without giving up much line capacity.
I prefer them over Penn Battle just because I own more of them and have used them for much longer. Outside of that, my Penn Battles have been great too. If there was a battle and a bg sitting beside each other and was given one, it’d be a hard choice but ultimately would take the BG.
My honest review? Don’t go past 4500, the 5K is heavy as hell and in 2024 you’d do way better to save money and get like a reel that features MQ, or Zaion V bodied cause they’re 1/3rd the weight. (Procyon MQ will give you wet dreams about fishing) Wouldn’t spend the money for anything under a 2000 size, could save and get something cheaper that can do the same. But the 3000/4500 will completely handle fishing lures up to 1-1/2oz no problem. Casts super far compared to anything in its price range from its era. The gear ratio is fast for a spinner so it makes for great action on paddle tails and swim baits. Great all around reel I own like 5 of and avidly use.
For sure. Depends on what type of fish you are targeting and depth, but for the short answer, yes. If I was to buy one for that purpose, I’d most likely get a 5k.
Hey zach i am a big fan of your vids. Im new to makin fishing content on youtube. Do you think its possible for you to give me some pointers on content creation and tips of this content creating world. Please. Life is hard rn and this is what makes me happy.
Thanks man! Very much appreciated. I remember you bro 😎 Life will always throw curveballs but fishing has always seemed to help. Trust me, I’m no content pro but I’d be happy to help!
That’s a good question with a lot of answers. So simplify it, advancement in fishing is just doing that. Fishing. Learn as much as you can from anyone especially when traveling. It’s like anything, the more you do it and expand the better off you become. More well rounded. A person who says they know it all actually doesn’t know much, while the guy who knows the most will say they have barely scratched the surface. As far as getting your name out there. I honestly dont promote myself much. Every now and then I’ll add a post to a fb page but just make sure you are consistent. That’s something I need to work on.
Weve also met on buckroe pier before idont know if you remember of not. But yea imma big fan

Love our 4 BG reels.
You got us into the BG reels.
You got a family of em! I’ll be restocking soon :) I’d like to keep 3 or 4 in the arsenal
I'm seriously looking at this reel for Muskie fishing. Do you think it would handle a 35lb Muskie with 40lb braid?
Without a doubt. Have friends that target large Virginia Muskie and the bg handles it no problem. They use 20lb braid but you can horse em a bit more with 40 without giving up much line capacity.
Sounds like a battle tested reel,would u prefer this reel over a Penn Battle 3 4000HS?
