Daiwa bg 4000, I was looking for a inshore reel that could double duty as my cat rod for flatheads and blue cats. This reel fits everything I look for in a good spinning reel, it’s one of the smoothest spinning reels I’ve ever felt there is literally no resistance. Partly do to the reel is not sealed but I’m ok with that I don’t plan on going swimming in the ocean with this. Let’s be realistic I would not do that with any reel under $600 sealed or not. I opened this reel up to see this “digi gear” aka big a$$ gear. Everyone is raving about and yeah it’s ginormous for the size reel. I also found ample amounts of grease saw no need to have to add extra they even coat the inside of the body housing with grease for a extra touch of corrosion resistance. I like little touches like that and it show Daiwas attention to detail. The reel spooled 30 braided line on perfectly right out the box but dose include 3 shims if needed. The drag is smooth as silk and is sealed probably one of the best drags I’ve felt. Casting is beautiful, no wind knots at all and I have this thing filled right up to the lip of the spool. Reeling in fish and or the weight of your rig this thing feels like a winch it’s so effortless do to the giant gear. It almost feels like cheating. Cons (I have to find something) The 4000 and smaller models have a reverse switch that I wish they would do away with I’ve never used them and don’t care for a auto trip bale. I also wish they would do away with the chrome wire bale wire, The entire reel is black and gold and don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful but it would have looked killer with a thick black aluminum bale. That being said I don’t think them cons are enough to take a star away and this reel is Probably the best reel available right now in this price range and rivals reels that cost 2x the price even there own saltist. *Update: The only thing I found better then the BG 4000 is two BG 4000’s That’s right I now have Twins!! And I think I might as well get the BG 3000 next.

It's a great reel, compared to other reels, this feels smooth and has a ton of power behind it. Do a bit of research and you will find mostly praises for this reel. For around 100 dollars, it cannot be compared. It feels smooth, steady, and provides you with confidence that is required to handle bigger species. I use this for everything including saltwater and freshwater. The only thing I had trouble with was fitting the 4000 sized reel on to a Shakespeare elite 7-foot medium. The foot of this reel was a bit too large for the reel seat of the Shakespeare but I forced it in somehow. I do surf fishing with this and trout fishing by switching my leader. I have a 15 lb braided line and when targeting different species, I change my leader from 20lb to 4lb. Recently pulled a 2lb Monkeyfaced prickleback out of a hole with this combo with relative ease. 3 Months Update I really enjoy and recommend this reel, I will buy multiple sizes for different rod setups. I fish on mostly on jetties and I have fallen and banged this reel up, it still runs like a champ. I try my best to take care of my tackle, but accidents do happen. :/ I paired mine with a Shakespeare Elite: Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod 7' - Medium - 2pc Update 9 months: I pair it now with a UglyStik Elite Spinning Fishing Rod (Salmon/Steelhead) with is a much better pairing for this reel size. Shakespeare Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Fishing Rod (Salmon/Steelhead) Still no problems fishing saltwater with it. I just do a simple rinse with tap water and everything function flawlessly. No squeaking, just dings, and scratches from fishing off the jetty and resting my reel/rod on the rocks. Caught 23inch lings and halibut with relative ease. I fish twice a week so I am extremely happy with the purchase. If any other reels I have fail I will replace it with this one again. Update (18 months) 1.5 years Still going strong, accumulated more dings to the reel from falls and such, fishing once a week at least I still haven't serviced it yet (I should) and it is still working as it should. Only thing I did to the reel is to sand the top of the spool since it became rough due to me falling and banging the reel on the jetty rocks but the reel is still surviving and works as it should. This is my only rod and reel I bring since going to the jetties and having reliable gear means a lot to me. My father just broke his Penn reel that I bought for him I will be replacing it with this one since my experience with it is such an excellent one. 2 Years without a hiccup. Great reel, I fish with it once a week in saltwater, if you rinse it off every time after you fish and do maintenance yearly (I did my first one after 2 years) I believe it will last a very long time.

Incredible reel, the dynamics, gears and quality exceeded my expectations. I rely on the performance of this reel for competitive fishing. Great price and reel.

The Daiwa BG 4000 is a good reel but the clicker was poorly designed. A flimsy wire connected to the spool that can bend easily.

Fantastic reel perfect for snook and reds and trout on the bay and perfect for bass or catfish on the lake

The Daiwa BG 4000, imo, is the best spinning reel in this price range. It's very smooth, durable, drag works great and handles big fish well. So far I've fought big bonefish (8-9 lbs.) and milk fish (10-12 lbs.) with no problem, this reel feels solid and performs that way too.

He is very light, and when reeling in the line, it is very smooth. I would highly recommend him to all my friends.

This was my second spinner reel. I wanted something not too bulky and reliable. Many anglers recommend this so without knowing too much about it I ordered it, im so glad I did. This is a very good reel not too much weight for 4000 size. They are a more comparable to 4500/5000 size from other companies. I landed my biggest fish, 40lb stingray on this. I wasn't able to bring that in just by cranking the handle, I used my rod but the drag worked really good. It hold a ton of line just like most daiwas. I haven't done any maintenance on it, but its just as smooth as the first time I got it. I think its the best reel around $100. You can't go wrong with this reel. I would definitely recommend this reel to my friends.
