“I was casting with a BG3000 for like 4 hours yesterday and definitely feel it.”
“I got Daiwa BG 3000 for steelhead fishing and like it a lot - it is built like a tank.”
“I first got the BG3000 and found it to be very convenient but also very limiting when fishing in rocky conditions. A few bad snags and youll have to re-spool.”
“I had the BG3000 until it was stolen off a pier by a fish, wound up getting the 2500 to replace it, an it's about the same experience.”
“I have it paired with a bg3000. I feel it’s good for calm beach days,piers, inlets, and boats. My do it all combo really”
“I picked up a Daiwa BG 3000 which run under $100 and its super nice. Smooth and long casting.”
“Daiwa BG 3000 with 15lb power pro braid is a great universal setup for rivers and lakes. I have mine on a 7 foot medium heavy Veritas rod. Nothing super crazy, but great for fresh and salt water.”
“I have caught many high 40's low 50's stripers on them and they have been fine, drag is more than enough and I have never blown one up.”
“I bought the daiwa bg 3000. Love it you cannot beat it for the price. Everything you read you'll see its comparable or better to reels of a higher price. It is super smooth. Feels smoother and more durable then the penn battle 2 by far.”
“That BG is extremely versatile for salt and fresh water so you should have no issues. They cast a mile”
“The BG reels are solid performers, I have 7 of them from 2500 up to 6500 sizes.”
“I have the BG3000, great reel I think.”
“I have a BG3000. No complaints.”
“I do freshwater, inshore and offshore and have caught a wide variety of fish on the 4500 and 5000 sizes that I've owned for around 4 yrs now. Excellent reels.”
“Daiwa BG 3000 inshore combo. Quality reel, serviceable rod. That’s about the best you can do at that price point. I have that same combo myself and I like it for everything inshore up to serious snook and tarpon fishing.”
“I own both the Diawa BG3000 and Revo in the same spool. Both are great. The revo feels better in my hand but both are solid.”
“i find myself using my bg3000 more than reels like my stradics. Just lovely smooth reels that do their job very well.”
“The Lamiglass X-11 and Daiwa BG 3000 is a killer set up. I'm running that myself and it's really good for the price.”
“in my opinion the new Daiwa BG (not the old 1980s design ones) are much better reels at a similar price point.”
“I have a BG3000 spinning reel on my other setup, so wanted to go all in on Daiwa, and I am estatic I did.”
“I was so impressed by that reel that I bought a Daiwa BG 3000. Another great reel.”
“I have that airdx medium but I put a Diawa BG3000 on it and it's great”
“My go to reel is the Daiwa BG 3000 and love it.”
“Some guy on the pier a while back let me use his BG3000 when I was just getting into fishing with shitty gear and it felt like butter. I switched to Daiwa reels only and never looked back”
