Daiwa BG Full maintenance and service tutorial. How to protect your reel against sand and saltwater 

I refuse to go higher than a 5K in this series which the 5000 is definitely on the heavy side in weight itself. Honestly, if memory serves me right the 4500/5000 are very similar in weight if not the same. That being said, I myself have a 3K, 3500H, two 4Ks, and a 5K, didn’t pay over $100 on any some were new and they don’t just catch fish, if you use em right they handle em. 💪

Glad it helped

Eyyyyyyyy.. Glad to hear it helped! I hope it treats you well for the next two years!

some people say the smaller sizes ,2000 and below, don't have the same components or ATD is this true?

Put a reel n rod on boat at sea. After 3 days salt spray jammed it. Open up, shoot with WD 40 and it work good as new !

@@rohzpopper4922 didn't you hear what he said. NO WD-40!!!

Even if any reel freeze, just shoot with lots of WD 40, things will be fine

Why are they keep doing that to you? Intro Music? Something else?

Douches....for real.

lol but why? Arent most, if not all your videos about tackle and not really fishing? Ball bearings and grease never hurt anyone.

No clue....check out my instagram...posted a pic....boggles my mind! Betcha this doesn't happen to jake paul!!

Thats messed up especially with this your providing a public service lol was it diawa that claimed it?

Nick I have a question. Does the handle switch from the left hand to the right hand for right hand retrieve? Just wondering thinking about getting one myself, but i am not sure if it can switch sides sense i retrieve right hand not left

@@Anthony-nx7di to be honest when I first picked up the BG4500 I tried to switch it from left to right hand retrieve with no success, I'm not sure if I am not doing it correctly but it's not like other reels like the Shimano Nasci 5000 for example. I was able to switch it from left to right with ease. It would be best to check with your local retailer in case. Otherwise, my answer still remains, no it can't.

@@Anthony-nx7di Yes you can switch it from left to right.

Thanks brotha! HELL YEAH....I had a touch of the flu when filming it...so hopefully that has an impact on views...lol As a surf caster for decades....it's only recently we have a bunch of sealed options out there. It used to be just VS, saltiga z and the mitchell banana....NOw penn torque, Zeebass, saragosa, spheros, shield etc offer waterproofing. This method of protecting reels has been done for many years...in fact we used to fully pack the entire cavity of some reels. Hey ...did i respond to your question about the ferrofluid? The stuff i use is VSG 203a.....it's what Ferrotec recommended for my purpose. It's friggin expensive..70-100$ for 3ml. They gave me a 3ml sample. Contact Shipwreck who is a member on stripers online.com he should be able to send you some (in order to PM him you need to be a member. It's show season and he's the head daiwa rep so he's a bit bogged down. But worth the effort tracking him down. Just read the rules when you sign up as it takes a few posts and days to be able to send pms.

Tackle Advisors awesome thanks I'll make sure to do that

Hey man! I remember it. Glad it was an easy fix and everything worked out!

@@TackleAdvisors I used it as an anchor rod and reel off a pier for a trolley/pin rig and I'm pretty sure I bent it trying to get the 8oz anchor weight to budge. Wasn't smart but I don't own a cheap round reel to heave out there. Most guys use old Abu 6500 type reels and I saw two AR's give out on the same day.

I have several old silver series reels that I've used for DECADES, and I will say without question that even though they aren't as smooth or sophisticated as these modern reels, they will easily outlast them with proper maintenance. I've gotten rid of some of my modern reels because they've turned out to be junk. Just my experience and opinion.

@@Belvedere3834spd I think your experience and opinion are spot on! I was talking to a friend a minute ago about fishing with our 1950s vintage large Luxor No. 3 reels. To me there have been only a very few reels built since those Luxors that even have a chance at competing with them. Just this afternoon I got a mint Mitchell 498 Super. PPUM saltwater reel you simply can’t believe. I also just finished together a beautiful Mitchell 396 from parts and put on a NOS gray spool and Mitchell high speed handle. That reel can cast better than almost any modern reel. I know I’m extremely biased but I see no need to purchase modern reels even with their extraordinary features when I know they have no chance of standing the rest of time. My negative feelings and bad experiences with modern reels started with a Quantum Cabo Saltwater Reel that I bought for a lot of money that didn’t last 5 years. This was in spite of the fact that I meticulously take care of my reels. Never again!

Lol thanks man! glad it's proved helpful to ya!

is the reel good out of the box or should I use your method before even using the reel?

Thanks Pat! Glad you liked it Man...that's an oddball place for it to bend. Especially with all the different angles of support.....But I saw the exact same thing on the penn z i tore down when i did the star s7000 review. Tried getting it out and blew out the pinion....tried torching it.....had to replace parts before I even did the review...lol Well unless youtube goes out of business...it'll be up the next time ya tear it down :) Lemme take a guess...was it a 5k size and fish the cape cod canal??

It was a 4000. We use it here in the gulf of mexico primarily to catch bonito [false albacore], although we do use it for mangroves when we are chumming.

Damn....I was close...lol...only 1800 miles off :) I'd be willing to bet the damage came from taking a hit. maybe in gunnel holders or storage. You guys have all the fun...Albies around here come through for about amonth and they're usually moving full steam ahead if surf casting for them. And if in a boat...generally 200 new yorkers are casting over your t top...lol

Awesome!!!! Thanks Brotha!!!! Gonna do a tear down comparison with the bg, nasci, socorro, and shield. 4 very different reels at that 100$ ballpark.

I know a few guys that still use those.

I have the 8k also amazing reels for big muttons and wreck groupers those large gears really help with the bigguns

I get that and it would work. But grease would work just as well. water getting in between the frame and sideplate and non handle cap are more often than not. Not the issue. And any gaps can be filled just as effectively with grease. And deep water dunks will get in from the ar clutch and main shaft areas anyway. Which is why it's not really worth it. For the Cabo that has an ar clutch seal and nothing else...maybe. but not the bg. Good idea though....FYI...i tried this with rtv 2 with the Gosa FA 10 years ago :)

Thanks man! Glad it proved helpful. I don't show greasing or lubing the clutch because it can cause the anti reverse to fail. It can be done but if ya mess up and get lube on the top and bottom of the cylinders it's a major pain to get out

@@TackleAdvisors Thanks a lot, now I understand. Once again great video. If you come to Costa Rica let me know! Pura vida!

Thanks man! And wouldn't that be a trip! One day I'll get down there!

Is bg really good and does it last long?

It's even trickier in the Lt reels....gotta finagle it even after removing the clip....glad it proved helpful

@@TackleAdvisors great video, extremely helpful to us guides who have no choice but to do our own service and repairs, big thanks from Belize central America.

LOL....those certates are sweet! Can't believe they sold so poorly in japan that US dealers were allowed to buy JDM stock and retail them here for half price. Figured based on looks alone it would a killer against the twinpower. The HD versions are saltigas bj's with a step down in gearing (which is more than adequate)

My certates are all the first gen from around 2007, I can't get parts anymore.

Really....Damn...I'd sell em if it were me...I'm having a furious internal debate as whether or not I should sell off my 08 stella sw's.... I like them better than the current ones....but new ones are coming in a year...and gotta strike while the iron is hot.....If you go two gens out..the value drops out.

Excited for the nasci. Ive seen tear-downs of it before but I’m looking forward to hearing your take on the symetre successor

Tackle Advisors very nice video on the bg btw

Looking forward to it!

Will this set that you have in the amazon list come with the needed tools for this? Wera 2035/2050 PH 00 - 01/7 Kraftform Micro Slotted/Phillips Precision Screwdriver Set been meaning to invest in a good set. i have various reels, penn, shimano, daiwa. love your channel, i wish i found it sooner.

Glad you enjoy it!! That set will cover quite a bit. Keep in mind...tons of reels now use torx bits.....ugghhh..And lot of different sizes. Additionally a size 0 with a larger handle may be helpful if you run into lock tighted screws or ones that have been corroded. As would a larger handled size 1. I use the pozidrivs for that amzn.to/2ExuHc2 Plus on shimano spool shafts you have to use a .9 mm hex (that little screw is under the spool and holds the spool support in place. Torx down to size six are common on shimano and daiwa

if you tighten the side plate too much it will press the pinion and main gear against each other and gears will not mesh together properly. Also the back of the main gear will touch the side plate while rotating.

If u keep the side plate too loose then u will feel play in the handle. Just tighten the screws medium.

That's a really nice rod for the coin for sure!!!! Surprised how nice the cork is for the price too..There's some filler but not like what you get in more expensive st croix rods. You're reel is coming! Trying to figure what i want to compare it to
