Daiwa (spinning reel 16 BG 4000

Product Information

Drag is highly dependent upon how strong the lines are. Generally one needs to set the drag at 25% to 1/3 of one’s line breaking strength. The drag is equipped with an ATV (automatic tournament drag) system. This provides a little slip when a fish is on the line. It then goes to your preset drag setting.

BGMQ3000D-XH – [Gear Ratio 6.2:1, 6+1 Bearings, 22Lb Drag, Line Capacity 220YD/12lb, Weight 9.3oz.] Saltwater-specific design – Both brands understand the specific needs of sea anglers and cater to them by designing reels specifically for saltwater use. They incorporate sealed drag systems, corrosion-resistant bearings, and waterproof seals to protect the internal components from saltwater intrusion. This design approach extends the lifespan of the reels and maintains their smooth performance even in saltwater environments. The Daiwa BG 4000 is a powerhouse of a reel which has the capacity and strength to deal with virtually any fish you are likely to hook in the UK, and a good few overseas as well. The handle is not collapsible, which is a design decision that Daiwa has chosen to implement in their mid-tier to high-end reels.According to the respective size, the 20’ Legalis series is the proper choice for numerous applications like spin fishing, feeder fishing, light trout fishing or even specimen hunting for tench, bream & Co. The first aspect to laud about the Daiwa D4000 is its seamless twist control line roller. A step up from the norm, this feature significantly diminishes the chances of line twists and tangles. With this innovation, your fishing line will always be in top form, ready for the cast and the ensuing battle. Daiwa had developed a reel that was cost-effective, easy to maintain and use, and that had a huge inventory of replacement parts. the clutch isn’t state of the art either it’s an old tried and tested design that’s worked excellent for years . 3500B’s had a clutch that was flawless and In a nut shell it’s just steel and carbon washers under compression built into the spool. Same on all front drag shimanos that I’ve stripped and serviced time after time. it may well have an extra bearing..... where though and what does that mean? I’ve seen 20 quid reels claiming 8 bearings but 6 of them are practically pointless.

With five ball bearings, and a 5:2:1 gear ratio, the Daiwa Regal is a reel that's designed and built to deliver a smooth yet powerful performance on every cast, and through every retrieve. Another great feature of the BG’s spool is the line capacity rings. These rings are a great addition when you’re fighting a large fish as they give you an approximation of how close you are to the centerline of the spool.

About the product

Typically when people think of a 4000 size reel, they think of a bigger, heavier, “do everything” reel. The reel's front drag is another noteworthy addition. Designed with exceptional control in mind, the front drag system is finely tuned, allowing anglers to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Adjust the tension on your line effortlessly and capture your prize, whether it's a spirited trout or a brawny carp. A damp cloth and warm water should be enough. Although reels are designed to be as watertight as possible, keep their exposure minimal, as any that gets inside will rinse lubricants from the reel. An old toothbrush can be useful too.
