One of the best reels made no matter the price.
Have not had a chance to use it yet. Went to Florida to fish. But couldn't go out due to weather. Going next to try it out in Tampa Bay water's. The reel is of very high quality. So I do not see any issues in the future with it.Read full review

Great value for a lot of offshore fish.
Great reel for snapper, med size grouper, and YFT. Well built and good quality parts.
A few wishes, the LPT labeled on it, a way to attach hooks, a way to attach line.
Not huge deals, but wishes.Read full review

Best Value for Your Money
Looking for a great reel that is every bit as good as other reels that cost twice as much? Consider getting the Daiwa BG. You can find it in small sizes suitable for ultra light fishing, or get in the 8000 size and catch a tarpon. Smooth reel, smooth drag and comfortable grip. These reels are durable, smooth and should last a lifetime if you take care of them. I was always a Shimano guy but these Daiwa BG reels really surprised me.Read full review

Great reel, one of the best I've used.
Very good quality, I can see why Daiwa. Has been making this model for so many years.

Fantastic Reel for the many large sized species of saltwater fish I go after.
I live on the coast of Georgia and fish for everything from speckled seatrout to 250 lb blacktip sharks. This reel handled our East Coast Snapper season very well easily bringing up large red snapper off the bottom some 90 feet down and a couple of cobia. I loaded the reel with 80lb braid and attached to a heavy duty Daiwa rod. I bought this reel to replace a Daiwa of similar size for casting to sharks and tarpon. I'm confident I'll be able to use this reel for years to come. Handle will switch from left to right.Read full review

Yup yup
You can’t beat it for the price. I bought the 8000 for tarpon and offshore trolling for kings and although I’ve only caught sharks with it so far it definitely has all the power you need to fight big fish with. Read full review

This is a Great reel for the Money.
Super smooth and one of the best buys out there.

Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Bigger fish reel
I fish Florida inlets. With the current and large fish you need a tough rod, reel and line
The BG8000 allowed me to put on almost 500 yards of 100 test braid. No worries about running out of line.
BG reels are very nice I recommend any of them for your fishing needsRead full review

Daiwa BG 8000
Pound for pound, the best reel, even better than the pricier brands made even greater by the manufacturer's suggested retail price! To top it , eBay's price saved me at least $20.00 if I bought it in any of the fishing stores.Read full review
