Uh this is really old I know but I don’t want people thinking their Daiwa BG is defective. The BG has a reverse taper spool, it’s supposed to be wider towards the top for less resistance against the spool lip when casting. You guys have messed with the natural design of the reel.
I owe you a beer my dude.I got the Bg 8000 off of countless positive reviews and videos on it.I went to spool it and it comes.I took the line off(all 800 yards and tried again...same thing...took off line again and tried again...same thing.Just happened to be on RU-vid and this video popped up It worked like a charm.Thanks buddy!
You can make your own plastic washer. Use caps from plastic bottle . Make a hole in plastic in the middle large enough to fit the stem/shaft and cut it around in a circle. You can use a drill to make a hole in the bottle cap. Cheap fix
Thank you so much, I would have had to pay to have this done in my local tackle shop. I have the same Daiwa BG 4000 and have a cheap size 4000 daiwa reel for spare parts. This video was an absolute lifesaver
Thank you for the most helpful video for spacer washers on a Daiwa. You made my day! I almost returned the Fuego because I couldn't see the rubber band and couldn't get bearing off. THANKS!
It’s awesome how these tiny shims are needed but if you don’t have extra they’re impossible to find online. I’m gonna have to make my own again out of a plastic container the same thickness
My fuego spinning reel is nice and smooth, but I’ve had this issue and I’ve been getting tons of wind knots. I was about to sell it for cheap, but I’m gonna do this when I get home today. Thanks for the video!! I didn’t know this was an option
