Review: Exceptional Quality and Value --- Landed a beautiful Black Tip Shark at South Padre Island! - Daiwa makes great reels and this BG4500 is no exception. Paid $109.00 on desertcart (lowest cost anywhere) and it paid off during the first fishing trip. After adding 40lb braid, this reel casted with ease and precision. It is light, easy to operate, and smooth as silk. On day one, I set the drag and landed a 5.5' Blacktip Shark while surf fishing off at South Padre Island. Fifteen to twenty minutes of pure adrenaline with no issues. This is truly a durable reel that is easy to clean and maintain. I was so happy I purchased a smaller BG3000 and landed a 21" Redfish on day one. Same result and happy fishing! Choose the BG series of saltwater reels --- you will be glad you did.
Review: Great reel for the price! - Great for money! I own six of these! After selling my Van Staal, which was a very nice reel, but I needed more set ups, I bought six of these Daiwa BG reels, in the 3000, 3500 and 4000 models. They are smooth, hold up in a fight, and are great with braid.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how big is it like in comparison to something**
A: These reels run way bigger in terms of sizing than Shimano. the 3000 is like a 4000-4500 in terms of Shimano sizing. If you plan on using it for bass in freshwater, get a smaller size. This reel can handle bonito, striper, salmon, and other big fish. I hope that helps:)

**Q: Can i use this 4500 reel on a 8 ft medium heavy rod?**
A: yes

**Q: I got the BG 5000, need to pick a rod for shore fishing mahi mahi. Any have suggestions?**
A: Bro if you're fishing from shore for mahi mahi and you have a 5000 get atleast a 10ft rod !! Lamiglass is top choice among surf fishermen

**Q: What size reel should i buy?  i have a 12' ugly stick heavy surf rod and cast up to 8 oz but usually 5 oz pyramids and sometimes 3 oz artificials.**
A: Correct - the BG5000 is the right size for a 12ft or 13ft rod.  My BG5000 took 330yrds of 50lb Jbraid and is very nicely balanced.  The 6500 is a VERY big reel - about a shimnano 25,000 size.
