Daiwa BG Spinning Reels - Review, Size Comparisons & Dimensions 

Respect to him for buying three sizes of the bg and making size comparison video. Thank you a lot. I was planning on getting a 4000 size reel but after seeing the 3500’s size, the 3000 size bg is the better choice.

This was a great help. I was interested in the BG 3500 but after seeing this, the obvious choice for me would be the 3000 as well. Thank you so much for your extremely informative video. This was very thorough.

This was like attending class in college, very clear narrative, the info on each reel was simple and to the point, thank you for sharing and making my decision purchasing a new reel very easy.

I have a 35+ year old BG15, I bought new, still working, and just bought a 3000 BG. They are about the same size but my old one is about 14 /2 oz. Thanks for your time and effort to show the sizes.

Thank you for this review, very good and just what I was looking for. I was about to buy a 3000 and found this, looks like I made the right decision. I'll be putting mine on an Ugly Stik also, but a MH 6.6 rod.

Thank you for your technical review. I was on the fence on size difference for a whipping reel and now I have clarification. I have the 4000 and use it for dunking and I'm really happy with the bg series.

Best review video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid! Everything you need to know!!!

Glad to see you are back out and fishing again!! Thanks for this, I actually need to order up some new spinning reels and this is super helpful.

i ordered a bg 3500 for my 7.6 ft fluke pole i use on the beach, upon opening the box i immediately put the reel on my 9 ft tsunami air wave and thats where it sits now. i ordered a 3000 and it's a fit on the 7.6. fairly heavy reels but exude confidence that anything you hook will lose the battle with you. these reels are aluminum and do not flex when fighting large fish. very smooth. i have a clash2 and a tsunami evict and these daiwas are in another league when working lures

Very awesome video! I have a bg 4000, 6500 and JUST bought a 3000. I couldn't be happier with all of these reels for salt and fresh fishing here in Florida

Loved the video. I had this specific question in mind. Because of your help, I have decided to go with the 3000, just as you did. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I have been looking for this video for years

Great side to side comparison of these three sizes. I think I’ll be going with the 3000 size for the reasons you pointed out. Thanks for posting!

From Brazil to say how happy I am to watch your review, very clearly information, I choose for 3000 size.

This video is so informative and helpful. I felt like I was back at school for a lesson in bg reels. Thank you for making this video and you are a good teacher. I just purchased the 3000 because of the weight and line capacity of the reel. Take care and I wish you good health sir.

Great video! I have the BG 3500 and i love it,its an amazing reel for the price.This spring i will get the BG 3000 with the TSunami Trophy II 8.6 feet rod to do some spinning of the beach.

I've been trying to figure out which of these reels to buy for days now. After watching your video, I will also be going with the 3000.Thanks for the informative video!

You helped make up my mind. You are completely right, trying to pick from just looking at videos or pics is impossible to accurately judge the size. Thank you so much.

The store I went to only had a 3500 on stock and it looked huge I was hoping the 30 wasn't huge this was exactly the video I was looking for tyvm

Great video, I ordered the 3000 aswel. I found the stats to be just perfect for many species and forms of fishing where i live while helping my hands last longer throughout the day of fishing.

Thank you so much for your help. So glad I found this great video. Just ordered 3000.

Thank you for making and sharing this video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Based on your video, I think the 3000 will also be the best option for me. 😃

Fsr listening to you talk about this reel has a real ASMR effect

What a great review. Feel like I just went to class. You earned a sub from me. Best information on the bg i have seen this far. Thanks for sharing.

This was very helpful. I have a BG3500 and I was considering getting another or a 3000 for a slightly lower strength rod. I’m gonna go with the 3000. Thank you for doing this video. You seem like a very nice man. Be well

New Subscriber!!! Great video with excellent details. That's exactly what I was looking for I'm going for the 3000!!!! Thanks for that great job

These bg sizes were really throwing me off I had to go to bass pro to see it for myself! It’s not like the penn battles where let’s say a 4k reel is the size you would actually expect but the bg reels are very beefy the 3k bg has 15.4 lb of drag compared to the penn battle with 15 lb of drag on a 4k size reel! I went with a bg 3k size it just fits my rod better than a 4k will and gives its the strength I’m looking for inshore fishing. The bail on the penn is more positive but the reeling on the bg was more smooth. Those two I’d recommend for someone willing to spend 100-$130 depending where u shop for an inshore do most type reel the penn battle and the bg. I own a 6k battle for jetties so having both id recommend them. Great video these reel sizes seriously are confusing.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for.

Im wondering which size for bass and walleye fishing. 2000 or 2500?

This is what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for making this video. This has been extremely helpful!

ive decided to get one based on your clip thank you sir! I feel the rod is a perfect size rod for what i intend to do. this combo i feel is a reel bargain for what i will get for my money.

Hi, cool review, I have 2000 and 3000, thinking about getting 3500 too. What in your opinion would be max lure weight on both 3000 and 3500 to avoid overload?

Hey thanks for the video. I have a 3000 and was wondering if you knew whether or not the bail assembly for the 3500 fits the 3000?

best video. luv it. i purchased the 300. thank you sir.

Great video, it was a great help for me to make a decision on what size to buy.. Thank you very much!

Thank you..helped me decide . Buying the 3000.

Thank you for this review. Looks like I may have ordered the wrong size in the 3500. Also never heard the term “whipping” interesting.

Thank you!! The Goldilocks zone appears to be the 3000.

Thanks for the information. It helped me to make a decision on what to buy.

Amazing video, very informative and well thought out

I have 9 ft spin rod i have doubts between the daiwa BG 3000 and the 3500. i like to fish for bigger fish like small tuna. big amberjack what do you recommend? My Spinning Rod weighs 180 grams.

Any chance of quick measure of the 3500 spool diameter, pretty please. Or video maybe with the dimensions? 😇

Keep up the good work! Really helpful. I’m in the market for a 2500 to pair with a 7’6” medium light rod. I think that is the right choice.

Excelente video tres complete et instructive qui nous en apprend beaucoup plus que n'importe quel fabricant de moulinets! Bravo et longue vie a votre entreprise

this is exactly the video i needed thank you sir

Hello thank you very much for this amazing video, i bought the 2500

Such a great review. Thanks a million

Fantastic reels ...... most every Daiwa

( needs Mono line ratings) my only thought... yep... I like mono.

Nice view sir. I own a bg3000 and put 18lb braid with 0.18mm to reel. What rod to put sir? Does rod pe1-3 or 0.8-1.5 more suitable?

Wow the bg 4000 is so big I wanted a 4k but it looks like a 5k

great comparison, thanks

Sir daiwa BG RR LT 5000 D CXH ARK (BG LT series) have any draw back in this reel, i ask anglers about this reel but not get it a honest comments.if possible give me review i am working in Oman, and native country is India

I love this reel so much but I just hate that T-handle knob.

Is it 3000 size good for twitching jigs for salmon in the river ? Thanks

Hello sir ,this bg make in where?

Excellent review help make my decision thank you.

I went to a surf fishing supply shop in OBX. Seeing the reel is essential pre purchase. The BG3000 is my favorite cast and retrieve surf reel.

Hi sir, i just want to ask and need ur suggestion , BG3000 is to big for bottom fishing ? i have 4000 revros, but the size is good, i dnt know the size of BG3000 is same size with BG3000.tq sir

hy, was thinking if i can use daiwa bg 3500 for feeder fishing since its such a good made reel. what do you think? thanks , keep it up

Hi. I bought a reel[ bg 3000] and "F_e" is written under it next to "made in china", I was wondering what does it mean? thanks in advance

So you actually return this reel back to the store after review?

Thanks for sharing. That help me a lot.

When you go fishing make a few videos with the reel and show us what you catch around your area!..
