- In this fishing reel review video I show you a fishing reel that doesn't sucks! The new Daiwa BG spinning reel I am fishing with for finesse fishing techniques (drop shot, ned rig, micro swimbait, neko rig) and compare it with the Daiwa Eliminator fishing reel. I am redoing my fishing rod and reel setups and starting with my finesse spinning combos.

Man, love the review vlogs. Please do more!
Nice review, I agree with that Jack dude and also like a larger reel head. Another point for the larger spool is that the line flows off the reel more smoothly and rarely has wind knots. Great vid, thanks!
Great review Mike looking forward to seeing you do some more A rig fishing Thanks Mike.....
I appreciate the honest reviews!! So I watched your review on the daiwa eliminate and the bg. Was trying to find a good spinning reel around 100$ and you helped tremendously! I bought the bg 3000and I love it! Great reel. Thanks Mikey
awesome! you'll dig it. i'm gonna grab another one, i love the drag on it for the price point.
Those bg reels are tanks, one of my best friends uses several, and we’ve put them to test on some massive jack crevalles, snook and reds, and they’ve held up perfectly, hell we’ve even dunked them a few times and they’ve been flawless. Even without rinsing them off. We even use the 5000 for sharks and offshore snapper and grouper, they’re wonderful
For those that prefer a much lighter reel the Diawa Fuego comes in at around $100 weighs less than seven ounces and as is loaded with advanced features including mag seal to really deal with salt water exposure.
I have used and abused the BG reels in saltwater , snook , reds , tarpon , jacks , etc. They are tanks...I can't imagine a bass guy ever wearing one out.
That would be my complaint since BG is so responsive I nearly almost never catch anything with it cuz I reel back too fast 😂 totally a panzer division tank. One day I’ll get a shark 🥹
Great review Mikey. Im in the market myself, and thats about my range. I was going with the Nasci, but that BG has me intrigued. I beat the crap out of my Stradic. My all time favorite spinning reel is an Old Quantum pti 30. I also have the pti750 5.1 to 1 baitcaster for Cranks and Swimbaits under 3 ounces. I know you have one, and that reels the bomb!!! Casts a mile!! Anyway, Bg or Nasci. Great review
I have that diawa bg 2500 spinning reel and that’s one of the best spinning reels I’ve ever owned for the 100 dollar price range
Yea 3 of the best reels for the price in my opinion is The Diawa BG. The Pfluger President. Then one of the most over looked is a Mitchell 300.
I have 6500 side.this is perfect spinning reel
I got the 4500 daiwa and just order a 1800 just because I’m good and don’t drop em in sand which I hear can get into it and get things out of shape.
I have the BG 3000 and I love it. I live on the Chesapeake bay and mainly fish inshore. This rod is smooth, durable and awesome. I have it paired with St. Croix triumph inshore and it’s my favorite set up I own.
What up mikey... yeah I've picked up a couple Daiwa spinning reels recently... been pleased with them... I did find better pricing Amazon when I gotem... thx bro, tight lines
Great review, I'm with you on the smaller sized reels. I'll sacrifice alittle casting distance for less fatigue and a balanced feel 👍
Awesome review Mikey 👍👍
I use the Tatula LT spinning reels because they are super lightweight but I started with the Fuego LT and it is a great reel too. The LT won't break. I snagged and landed a 10 lb carp on my Tatula 3000 spinning on a medium light rod.
One off the best spinner reels that i've ever saw. I reccomend it
Got so sick of spending $100-200 on spinning reels that were crap, so a couple years ago my buddy turned me on to the Pflueger Presidents - $60. The Best spinning reel on the market under $200 IMO, I have 8 of them now.
BG is a solid reel! I have 2. I use one for saltwater and a 2500 for freshwater. Other than weight, all good. Tackle Advisors has a full breakdown video that is awesome for maintenance.
Mikey balzz if you like the stout feel on your spinning reel then the BG is where it's at. 3000 size is awesome
I got the Dawia Legalis LT. Love IT only thing the drag is not very loud
i have the Diawa Revros the 4000 was all they had at the time at TW but i love it i've pulled in some nice bass with it , i have it on a Lews 7' mh speed stick , nice spinning combo , Diawa is good stuff in my opinion
Hev the eliminator in my cart right now but want to stop and take a look at some reviews thank you very much...
I have 2. Bg's. They are built like tanks! And take a beating! Smooth as silk
A good Shimano comparison is the NACSII 3000. It is $99 , weights 8.8oz. and 35 inch RPT. Also, very smooth. I have a Daiwa Legalis 2500 that I really like. Nice video.
Bro, I am fishing Waughberg lake down here in micanopy next week.... I think you know a little something about that no gas motor lake LOL...just killing time do they start setting up the bed in Orange!!!!
Nice job dude! hey what size and power rod did you pair the BG with?
I've been using a Legalis and at the $79 price point it seems super smooth
I too also like to get saltwater grade reels for freshwater because they last longer
I've been running the RG's/Regalis on most of my spinning setups. Only $60 and they are a heck of a real for that. Not to mention, cheap enough that I'm not worried about how my clients are treating them like I would with a high dollar reel.
I like smaller sizes on my spinning reels as well. As for gear ratio, people get waaay too hung up over it. Spinning reels have a larger diameter spool which picks up line quicker. Looking at the specs on that 2500 size BG it may only have a 5.6:1 ratio, but it recovers line at 33.2" per handle turn. In comparison an 8.1:1 Daiwa Tatula SV baitcaster recovers line at a rate of 34.6" per handle turn.
AHHH I've been waiting for this vid.. I've been holding off on a Tatula Lt(glad I did now), to see what you thought of the Eliminator! Is the drag cap on the BG metal???
i don't think so. the drag on the bg is definitely smoother than the drag on the eliminator though.
@@mikeybalzz Man I appreciate the info! This is why I love this channel! and Bog of course!
The Eliminator is without a doubt the smoothest and most well built spinning rod I've ever used 🤙
for the pricepoint it's pretty solid!
Thanks for this. I love my shimano baitcasters but at the $100 price point shimano doesnt offer an aluminum frame reel they are slacking in the spinning department at shimano. Not many people do reviews on spinning equipment and I catch a lot of fish on my spinning gear. I just want durable workhorse reels that are solid with good drag and you dont have to pay an arm and a leg to get that.
Been using the BG for about 3 years now. I have 4 of them and they are all still going strong. Used for salt and fresh.
if they can last in the salt, fresh is a walk in the park.
Mikey I really you might want to look at that is even cheaper and I've been very impressed with it is the Shimano nexave. I've seen them priced anywhere from 50 bucks to 60 bucks I own two of them and for a sub $50 spinning reel they're constructed very well not a lot of plastic on them mostly aluminum frame the drag is as buttery as buttery can get for 50 bucks. And I tried three or four different brands in the same price range flueger Abu Garcia and lose and none of them even came close maybe the lose did bang for your buck the Shimano Nexa is probably the best reel you can buy in that price range. It'd be interesting to see your opinion of it. Great review love the channel
The daiwa exceler preforms right up there with my Daiwa tatula. The drag isn't quite as smooth but we're talking 90 bucks to 190 bucks.
I like super light baitcaster, and heavier spinning. I use the BG for saltwater inshore
SLX Rod ($99) with a Shimano Nasci ($99), or even the Sahara ($79) the 3000 are about the same size as the 2500’s but they also have the power knobs. Silky smooth rotation + silky smooth drag
excellent review, but you would be totally shocked at how good, and smooth and light the diawa regal z is from walmart when you can find them i bought 3 and its significantly better than even my shimano symmetry i paid over 120 for, and the regal z is only $59, its as smooth as my buddy 600 shimano stella!
I am a big fan of those bg’s for inshore fishing. It’s all I use.
The BG has been pulling double duty for me in the salt and fresh for over a year with no issues whatsoever, best spinning reel I’ve ever owned.
Beast of a reel!
i also like shamanos spinning reels, i have 2 of the old styles one, i dont know what size they are but they both sure work great wonders as well
love my shimano stuff!
I have the BG. Good solid reel. But I also have a few Tatulas. They are light and tough but should only be used in fresh water. If you want best bang for the buck salt and fresh water then get the Balistic. Hands down. Blows the Stradic FL out of the water for salt water use. For me, the Tatula and Fuego get cover everything I do fresh in fresh water. I use my BG and Proceyon for salt inshore.
Love your videos.
graet info thanks for sharing.
Good review Mr. Balzz... IMHO sub 100 dollar spinning reels Daiwa has better options and some real Bang for the dollar stuff vs. Shimano. Don't sleep on that Tatula LT, thats a bad boy, been on my main spinning rod for a couple years with not one problem, yes its above you stated budget but if you found one second hand it would be a great buy.
I have the Diawa Legalis and that reel is solid aswell its like 80 dollars and puts up with 150 200 dollar reels
What baits are you using in FL during this time of year?
Diawa regal is a great reel also diawa has many budget reel that are good same for shimano love your video
Just started shopping tackle warehouse was ordering from shop Karl's and it's a good site and priced well but tackle warehouse has a way bigger variety
yeah tackle warehouse is loaded. it gets dangerous when i get on there and go shopping.
@@mikeybalzz Grabbed an abu garcia revo premier on sale from basspro for half off 150 canadian. Probably all sold out by now since they came out with new models but thats like $25USD
@@chadjackson4786 dude you stole that thing that's awesome!
That's a great reel. I'll have to side with Jack I like a 3K size. hahaha
eliminaror does not have a direct drive handle system (sidecap holds the handle in place instead of connecting directly into the main gear) , not a deal breaker IMO .
Hey Mickey you got to try the Shimano spheroes SW 119$ it's basically a rebranded stradic fk.. discontinued model.. is it as good as a stradic fl no but it's 70 bucks cheaper and it's on par with the stradic FL..
Mikey, have the BG in 2000 size. Great reel, no issues with drag or play in handle. Never had a problem with it in 3 years. I, also, have a Shimano Stradic Ci4. Smoother than the BG but costs $120 more. No issues with either and I fish them pretty hard. I have an older Ballistic that is just bullet proof. It weighs a lot more than the Stradic and BG. Still my favorite with Stradic right there. For the money, BG is best at price point hands down. I have a Nasci too and it’s not bad either. Reels are just leaps and bounds better than 10-15 years ago and any $80-110 spinning reel is going to be good. Too competitive in that range not to be. The Stradic and Ballistic are 2500 size and Nasci 1500 for trout mainly.
One other I forget, watch Tackle Advisors for complete breakdown on spinning reels. He does a lot of saltwater reels but he goes over them pointing out any flaws. He tears them down and shows everything. He highly recommended the BG. Informative like your channel!!! Thanks Mikey!
agreed 100%, well said.
I have a Flego it was $99 I love it for in the $99 price point
the diawa tournament ss spinning reel has the best drag and $100 I recommend it
What is your recco for the best size spinning reel? 2500 or 3000?
I just bought the BG 4000.. The problem is my right side of the reel has the long screw inside which makes it very sturdy. But my left side is hallow and my handle screws into the plastic..
The right side is way more sturdy and solid compared to the left side? Why is this.. Thank you... Subbed and Liked,
Hello, could a bg 3500 be suitable for a popping rod MH 7.4 ft, 40-80g, 6 kg drag?
Can this reel hold up to larger fish? For example if a catfish or alligator gar were to get on the hook.
Cant go wrong with a Revo X spinning reel
Need to get me a couple more spinners
I LOVE my BG3000! It's the smoothest reel I own. Wipes the floor with my Shimano Sahara. Friend of mine says get the Penn Battle 3 next instead of another BG but, it's going to be tough to get me away from another BG! He says the updated Battle 3 has surpassed the BGs. Any thoughts?
I believe the penn3 has a 5 to 1 ratio and holds less line. Worth looking into, there is a review for both if you can find it. I believe the guy compares the 4000 series.
@@coastalcastingFL Thanks for the reply. 5:1 is lower than the BG but, I’ll have to look at the inches per turn. The BG 3000 has a large spool so more inches per turn. You can’t always find an apples to apples comparison with the reels. Not sure about that big knob on the Battle 3 either. Happy Holidays!
So far over 1 year with the 4500 bg system and just started using the 3000 and both have stood up to the salt water.
@@coastalcastingFL I’m freshwater so no worries there. But, have dunked it twice. So far so good.
Yeah Mikey love tackle warehouse and my wife loves the payment plans
I think the Daiwa BG and Shimano NASCI are the two best reels on the market in the $100 ballpark. Personally I want a Daiwa BG on a 7’ medium St Croix Mojo Bass rod. I’ll take the Daiwa for the big gear and all that aluminum.
i'll have to check out that nasci!
You have pretty eyes... lol. I have two Diawa Fuego reels that hold up pretty well. One is 2500 and the other is 3000 for slightly bigger baits like the mag ned ;)
I have yet to find a bad daiwa spinning reel.
If $200 is too much I'd love to see what you think of their $700 Exist. 😄
Can i use 2500 size for salmon fishing in river mostly twitching jigs for coho, pink, and some spring
i'm not very familiar with salmon fishing but i would say if it's a smaller creek style fishery you're good with the the 2500 but if it's big river fishing and you're slanging it way out there or using a bunch of line you might want to go up a size.
What you think about van stall reels
Never tried 1
So I need help my eliminator 3000 handle snapped what or where do I get a replacement!!?
shoot a message to daiwa or google daiwa replacement parts and you'll have to figure out the part number but they should be available.
So many people down brands just Bc they have never used em. I’m a die Hard Abu Garcia fan. All my set ups casting and spinning are revo’s on veritas rods. That’s just what I like. I’ve owned diawa shimano lew’s etc. But a lot of Lew’s fans love Lew’s Bc that’s what they’re told to like. Hint when a guy left quantum!!
At least you have the Handel on the right side 🤪
Sure love a spinning reel.
BG is a workhorse. Go with the Fuego for finesse.
Diawa is legit they make awesome products even the lower end stuff compared to other manufacturers like Shimano. And in my opinion they're high and stuff is the best I have the Ballistic LT it's best spinning reel I've ever owned.
Nice
Dude the bgs remained unchanged for 30 years until they cam out with the digigear
BG sucks they feel great out of the box but after a few weeks of use the reel feels geary. They’re also extremely heavy for their size
there smooth as butter and heavy for big fish, its not a bass reel
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh yeah I almost forgot... BOGGGGGG!!!!
I like your computer monitor philosophy: go big or go to the hospital
What braid you run
been playing around with it. was running fireline ice, tried some sunline 4 strand, and have some daiwa 4 strand i need to spool up to try - all those are only for spinning stuff.
Im looking for a good spinning braid that fireline ice any good
@@5.7.0bassin2 sorry i guess it's called crystal here's a link bit.ly/2U98XvS i like it because it's white so i can see it in the water. holds up pretty well. imo would not go lower than 10lbs - i run 14lbs and that seems to be the sweet spot for less wind knots.
Lol all good i knew witch one u ment lol
Daiwa BG = Ak 47
BG Is beast 💪🎣🇬🇹🤝
Good stuff....I bought a Daiwas Revros Ltd 3000 C had it a year I fish alot. Paid 50 bucks been real happy. It's not big for a 3000 size. Check them out...This is Chuck....Apirl is made at me.....
What you know about spinning gear...LoL.
The BG is trash. I’ve had 4 now I have 0. They all broke the same way. They get harder and harder to turn really fast even with proper care.
I have an Eliminator 4000 and there is no handle play at all.
