Product Description
The Daiwa BG Spinning Reel is a heavy-duty reel engineered for demanding fishing conditions, making it a popular choice for anglers across New Zealand and worldwide. Building on Daiwa’s legendary Real Four design philosophy, this Daiwa BG spinning reel delivers unrivalled excellence in design, performance, and quality. It is highly sought after by anglers seeking reliability and power in both inshore and offshore environments, particularly for saltwater fishing.
BG Features and Technology:
- Magsealed Ball Bearings: A revolutionary step in reel longevity, Magsealed Ball Bearings prevent water and dust intrusion into the gear system. By combining traditional CRBB ball bearings with a fully contained external Magsealed membrane, Daiwa ensures ultra-smooth rotation and significantly reduces reel noise and corrosion, enhancing long-term durability for your fishing adventures.
- Air Rotor: Designed specifically for Magsealed reels, the Air Rotor better distributes the enormous strains affecting the rotor via the line and line roller. This reduces pressure on individual rotor parts. The new rotor is 15% lighter than conventional rotors of the same material, which reduces vibrations and enhances rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.
- Aluminium Body and Side Plate: The BG’s aluminium body and side plate are precision machined and highly corrosion resistant, making it an ideal body for the offshore environment. This rigid, strong, and durable construction ensures seamless gear function, prevents twisting under load, and results in greater cranking force.
- Digigear System: Reaping the full protection and strength benefits of the robust body, the technologically advanced Digigear System is a highly evolved drive system. This innovative Digigear reel technology features a high-precision cutting technique that achieves perfect gear meshing and ultra-smooth performance, a key reason why the Daiwa BG is a favourite among serious anglers.
- ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) System: Daiwa’s ATD system incorporates structural changes to the spool metal, providing greater support across the entire length of the main shaft. This additional spool support reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even wear of the drag washers, and ultimately reduces “pulsing” of the drag when fighting fish. Combined with improved drag grease that exhibits low viscosity at rest and becomes more viscous immediately after drag start-up, the ATD system delivers a smoother drag from the initial hook-up.
Specifications:
| Model | Gear Ratio | Bearings | Line Capacity (PE) | Weight | Max Drag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5000 | 5.6 (120cm) | 6BB, 1RB | 4/400m, 5/300m | 640gm | 10kg |
| 6500 | 5.3 (123cm) | 6 + 1 | 5/500m, 6/400m | 835gm | 15kg |
