Questions about Daiwa BG8000 BG Saltwater Spinning Reel, 8000, 5.3: 1 Gear Ratio, 6+1 Bearings, 53.30" Retrieve Rate, 33 lb Max Drag
Q:
Do you have size 7000
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: no
Q:
Would the 4000 be well suited for a surf setup? Or should I go bigger?
Answer: Depends what kind of surf set up. For East Coast surf fishing where you’re using a 12’+ rod, lots of weight and bait, you probably want a bigger reel to match your setup. Even the next size up — tHe 4500 — has significantly more line capacity and drag. I think the 4000 is perfect for surf fishing on the West Coast. I use a BG4000 with about 250 yds of 40 lb PowerPro Max Cuatro on a ML 8’6” rod. Great for casting plastics, small spoons and Rapalas/Lucky Craft hard baits in the surf.
Answer: I surf fish on the central Oregon coast where the surf is very heavy, requiring heavy pyramid sinkers to anchor to the bottom. I use the 4500 with a 11' Penn Prevail rod. My rod can throw a sinker up to a 6 oz in weight, so with 65 lb. braid on the reel, I don't need a shock leader. I just tie a snap-swivel rated for 60 lb. directly to the braid, and then attached a 20-60 mono leader depending on the weight of sinker I need to throw (2-6 oz). The hook drop leaders are tied to the main mono leader using 15 lb mono. Works great for Redtail Perch!
Answer: Depends on what you are fishing for. I caught a 27" redfish with ease on the 3500. A 4000 should be plenty unless you are getting into mid size shark territory
Answer: The 5000 and the 6500 have larger gearing than the 4000 so if need more cranking power buy them but if most of your fish are small to medium salt fish the 4000 will work
Answer: Have used mine for surf fishing with braid and it worked very well...
Answer: I would go bigger. Surf fishing needs more line.
Answer: I use Bg6500 on 11ft star rod! Love it ! Perfect for sharks (caught up to 10 ft so far) Bull Reds 48inches. And everythingin between! Awesome reel! !
Q:
I would like a BG 5000, why are they not showing as available?
Answer: I think 47'4/ 22lbs is a 5000....pls someone correct me if im wrong....
Answer: most likely it is because it is not available.
Answer: type in the gear ratio
Q:
which reel best fot lite tackle?
Answer: 1500 or 4500 would be good ! And you can also just get a heavy or light light depending on what you are fishing for
Answer: I had a cheap real from Cabellas for years now and it’s a beautiful white finish I believe it’s called Salt Striker good stuff
Answer: It honestly depends on what your after.
Q:
would a fiblink 120 lb 5'6" salt water rod work well with the BG8000 for off shore trolling and such
Answer: 5’6” seems short for the BG8000. Even the BG6500 would be way too big. You want a proper balance in weight and specs. I use a BG5000 on my 7’ big water MH. I think you’d want to look at between the BG4000-BG5000 for that specific rod setup. Ask yourself, do you TRULY think you’ll let out 300 yards of line that the higher BG spools hold?
Answer: I'd personally not use a spinning reel on a trolling rig.
Q:
How big a fish can the 2000 handle? I’m looking to travel light but don’t want to compromise too much power.
Answer: It will handle small fish typically. But if your fishing shallow with minimal obstructions you can get some decent fish. 20 lbs range. It's a light tackle reel. The 3000-3500 is perfect for an all around reel. I normally say 4000 but the Diawa runs a little larger.
Answer: I have the 5000, thinking the 2000 is rated for up to 10-15lb. fish, all based on the drag system and amount and test of line you can hold.
Answer: I landed several blues and channel cats one day crappie fishing( hint gold metal flake jigs make good catfish lures also). It was a weird day but fun . Two cats were over 5 pounds , ,the others over 2 pounds. I never felt under reeled, now the 6 pound flouro leader was what I was worried about . The 2500 is the same reel with a larger spool, with more drag pressure available. I really like my 2000, but will be getting a 2500 for bass , but mainly for the bigger spool. Good reels
Answer: I would recommend a little bigger, 3000-4000 size and fill with braided spectra line. That would handle just about anything.
Answer: Your rod has to match the reel in power if you know what the rod will do you then have a guide as to what the reel will do
Q:
how can you order one of these n get a little peen 3000 insted not even close feel cheated
Answer: i also fish with a penn 8500ss and 9500ss the old ones made in the usa and feel confident with BG8000 will get the job with ease but the penn reels are 23 years and still working proper most newer reels probably are not built to last a lifetime unless you buy top of the line pricey ones
Q:
What size real should i get because i have a okuma celilo ce-c-516ha 5’6” length h action 50-100lb rod
Answer: id use a 6500, which is what I use on my 9' and 12' Meat Hunter Heavy action. Tremendous line capacity and I have been very pleased.
Q:
“I have a fiblink triumph boat rod 80 -120lb with kastking 120lbs braid can i use the 8000 go for fish 100 plus lbs”
Answer: Catch 100-150 pound yellowfin tuna all day long same reel using 80 pound braid.
Answer: I have the same set up. Should work fine.
Q:
Which of these is better for catfish and salmon? And what's the capacity for 20lbs braid on those ? Thank you
Answer: You can put 300yds of 20lbs braid.
Q:
What rod would go best for a daiwa bg8000 for plugging with poppers for GT?
Answer: The bg8k is a 30ounce reel so guys pair it with TFO 11’ 3-8oz rating that is light and strong enough to turn 40lb fish
Q:
How does this compare to the penn battle 2? Specifically the 8000 size?
Answer: The BG6500 is the same size with same line capacity as the battle 2 8000. The BG is overall a MUCH better reel in every aspect. More drag and much smoother drag, better construction and materials, smoother running, lighter in weight, lays line better, casts further, and beefier gear and internals. Even though they are the same price, the Battle 2 should be a $50 reel, while the BG is up there in quality and features with a $200 reel.
Answer: The Diawa is better it hold much more line
Q:
Does it have a bait runner?
Answer: No the drag does click but no bait runner. There are plenty of YouTube videos featuring this reel and should answer most of your questions. This is an awesome reel for the money.
Answer: No
Answer: No it does not.
Answer: No it does not
Answer: no.
Q:
i want to buy this item, why don't you ship to my address in south africa, pretoria???????
Answer: Buy through the Daiwa website
Q:
Will the 8000 model fit well with the eagle claw diamond graphite 8' heavy action rod?
Answer: I would do 5000 or 6000. What pound line are you going to use 80lb braid? Then maybe 8000 size. Remember the 8000 is heavier and will wear you down after a lot of casting
Q:
What's a good rod for bass on the 2500?
Answer: I build rods so I would reccomend something in the 6-12lb or 10-20lb weight class. There are so many great brands with different actions( how the rod bends) that it would be hard to say specifically. Find something in that weight class that is comfortable for you
Answer: I love 13 fishing's omen black M. 7' for bass
Answer: The 2500 Daiwa comes in a combo which will be more than enough for bass fishing
Answer: I like Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod 7 foot for this combo rated from medium light to medium heavy, I think the medium is the way to go, pretty flexible assisting in casting weightless lures further, and those rods are almost indestructible. Also, they are pretty affordable.
Answer: I like the ugly stick. 6'6" medium heavy.
Q:
Can i pair a bg 4000 with a medium rod, 10-17# test rating, 7'1"? or is the reel way too big for balancing?
Answer: should be fine that is a smaller reel
Q:
What’s the Braid Capacity of 50lb?
Answer: It depends on the size of the reel you want
Q:
Is this original?
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes this is 100% original! Best reel for the money. Stay away from eBay (sometimes cheaper) since I've read those are fake.
Q:
Is this for right handed
Answer: Right or left handed. All you do is unscrew the handle and un screw the cap on the leftside and switch places. Simple as that. Its a very nice reel for the price and the older BG had a AWESOME reputation for over 30 years. You won't be disappointed.Tight Lines!
Answer: Yes. You should be able so switch it to left or right handed easily
Answer: You can switch it to left and right.
Q:
What is maxdrag for 6500? And bearing also?
Answer: Max drag is 33 lbs for both 6500 and 8000.
Answer: 33 lbs. 6+1 bearings
Answer: Drag is 33 lbs bearings 6+1
Q:
What’s a good sensitive rod to match to the Daiwa 8000 reel?
Answer: Depends what you are fishing for. If you are light game fishing and want a rod you can put an upgrade reel on like a Saltiga 6500, I would suggest a Diawa Demon Blood travel rod.
Answer: I put mine on a 15' ugly stick. This is a large spinning reel and should be matched with a nice surf rod.. This is not a rig for sensitivity..
Answer: Brand of rods is really up the user, I am using a Penn Mariner 2.
Q:
Daiwa bg 8000 or penn fierce 2 8000
Answer: Daiwa is tougher, nicer smoother than the penn battle. Fierce is a step down from those. 8000 penn weighs about the same. Inferior gears, less usable drag.
Answer: I don't have a Penn.
Q:
My reel did not come with the "O-ring" that is supposed to be secured under the cap opposite on the side of the handle. Is @Daiwa able to send me one?
Answer: Hardware store.
Q:
Best rods for BG 8000?
Answer: Would be best to use12 foot heavy for surf with 50 pound braid or 7 foot ugly stick med heavy for boat
Q:
Can i use this for throling
Answer: Spinning reels are not great for trolling because of line twist.
Q:
Would this reel bring in a 8 to 9ft Sturgeon?
Answer: in my opinion yes if the reel has quality line 80 or 100 lb braided and do not try to force the monster in you would have a good chance of landing the beast the Daiwa BG8000 holds plenty of line and built tough for price you cant go wrong
Answer: Depends the weight and strength of the fish..
Answer: The reel can handle it but can you?
Answer: Without a doubt. Very strong reel!
Answer: Absolutely. I’ve reeled in large grouper with this bad boy.
Answer: I’ve seen videos of guys catching big sharks on an 8000 so I’d say yes, I bought mine to catch sharks and have caught really big sting rays with no problem
Answer: If you could get one on the hook, sure.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Is BG8000 comes with extra spool?
Answer: No. It doesn’t come with an extra spool.
Answer: No it does not.
Answer: The smaller sized BGs I bought, did not.
Q:
Does the 8000 only utilize braided line?
Answer: They can all use braid or monogram, but they are made for braid, that's why they got the rubber backing on the spool
Answer: No, mono will work just fine on the reel
Q:
what is the weight deference between BG 4000 and 8000 ?
Answer: The BG 8000 is twice the weight of a BG 4000. 30oz vs 14.3oz. The BG8000 retrieves 53.3" per handle turn and the BG4000 pulls in 39.3". You can go to Daiwa's BG website and see a chart of all reels to compare.
Q:
which size would ya'll suggest for putting on a 12' ugly stik for surf fishing, mostly going for sharks with heavy braid line. thanks?
Answer: Depend on your test line. If you’re using 65lbs and up. Use the 5000-8000. I use the 8000 on a 12ft ugly
Answer: At least the 5000, I have 400yrd of 65lb jbraid on a 5000 on a 7ft m/h diawa boat rod and I've caught 3 to 4 foot sharks on it with easy.
Answer: the largest size available
Answer: The 6000 series is a great fit for what you are trying to do
Answer: 5000 or 6000. Great reels
Answer: 4000 or 5000
Q:

Q:
What is the country of origin of this product?
Answer: China....lol
Q:
I have a daiwa harrier rod 7 ft medium heavy actiofor inshore saltwater fishing. what would be the best fit reel for my rod? fishing saltwater
Answer: As far as I know, BG8000 is a really good reel. Whether it fits your rod, I don't know.
Answer: I personally use the 4500, but I am typically casting jigs and lures. If you are planning on spiking your rod or leaving in a holder you can go higher since the drag systems become stronger meaning you can fight bigger fishes. It really depends on what your target species is and how you are fishing.
Answer: I would go with the BG 4500
Q:
Does anyone know what the line size and capacity for the 8000 is when using 100 lbs braided line ??
Answer: I have the 6500 with 60 pound braided and 300 yards. Still room to spare.
Q:
I have a 12ft surf rod. is the bg 8000 over kill? i want to put 65-80lb of braid.
Answer: Yes over kill. I have a 12' surf rod and have the BG 4500 and that's plenty with 50# braid.
Answer: if your using 65-80 lb test line then I guess almost nothing is overkill if your going after 200Lb plus fish.
Q:
For lake and creek fishing what size reel?
Answer: 8000 is def overkill for that - more like tarpon etc
Answer: 2500
Q:
Does the 8000 do well with fresh and saltwater fishing and does it fit on the shakespeare stik gx2?
Answer: The 8000 is to big for fresh water fishing unless you’re fishing the Great Lakes. Pond, stream, rivers, BG1500 or 2000 is more then enough.
Answer: Yes to both I have this combo as a matter of fact and it first well.
Q:
Can this 8000 model be use only mono fishing lines? this is my plan use only monofilament. thanks
Answer: Yes, you can use mono instead of braid. The 8000 is a big reel and you can load plenty of mono. These big reels are usually used for long cast surf fishing, so keep in mind there is a good bit of stretch in the line when setting the hook with 100 yds out to the fish. I have 6 Daiwa reels and they have all given unmatched performance and durability. I fish salt water in east central FL.
Answer: Yes, monofilament 20/550, 25/440, 30/370 (Lb. Test / Yards)
Q:
What size is best for tuna and yellowtail fishing?
Answer: BG 8000 is a great 30lb. reel for Tuna or Yellowtail.
Answer: For tuna 50 lbs or less - Get the BG 5000. It holds enough 65 lbs braid line and light enough to cast all day. I caught tuna in the range of 25 to 30 lbs with no problem. For tuna from 50 lbs to 100 lbs - get the BG 6500 or 8000.
Answer: BG 8000 is a great 30lb. reel for Tuna or Yellowtail.
Q:
How do you know which one's have the round handle opposed to the T handle???
Answer: I have a 4000 it has a T handle
Answer: I Think By Size of Reel
Answer: I went by the description and pic.
Q:
Is this original?
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes this is 100% original! Best reel for the money. Stay away from eBay (sometimes cheaper) since I've read those are fake.
Q:
Can i use this reel for striper fishing in the north east area? Can i also put 30-40 lb line on it
Answer: U know dat! I use braid on all my reels shimano stradics 6000 & 8000 and penn 8500 and my daiwa's or u can use fluorocarbon. But braid is da best. Da daiwa J-braid is da best and cheap too. Hope dat answers ur question. Chuck from Moloka'i.
Answer: 30lb. Would be fine, I think if you want to put 40lb. On it, I would consider spectra backing for capacity or go up a size to accommodate the heavier line.
Answer: Personally I think the BG8000 is too big for stripers. Suggest going down to the BG5000 maybe even the BG4500.
Answer: I would top out at 25 lb test. You might want to jump up to the BG 5000
Answer: Yes you can as backing but it isn't necessary.
Answer: Yes you can.
Q:
Do you ship this product to Morocco,if so I want to buy a daiwa bg8000 how much the shipping will cost?

Q:
Which one is the 6500, not able to select from the drop down menu
Answer: BG6500 - / H 6+1 5.3:1 48.7" 29.5 20/370, 25/310,30/260
Answer: Excelent
Q:
Where is it made?
Answer: Diawa makes most of there stuff in china, thats what is said on the box...China. Love this reel, super smooth, super smooth drag, cant say enough about it (I bought the 2500 for bass fishing and it has worked out great.
Answer: China and according to Daiwa's quality policies.
Answer: Not sure, but very high quality, would highly recommend
Q:
Could the 5000 handle a 80 lbs fish?
Answer: Yes as long as it is on a good rod, a good jigging rod with lots of back bone would be a great choice for it.
Q:
How big a fish could the 1500 handle?
Answer: I have caught big fish on reels not meant for that size fish. We all get lucky sometimes. The 1500 has max drag of 4 pounds so it is meant for smaller fish.
Answer: I have one of these and use it on a light action spinning rod for panfish (bluegill, crappies, trout, etc). In my opinion it is best suited for smaller game fish less than 5 lbs as it is used on a light action rod. I have 10 lb Suffix 832 braid on my 1500. Great reel!! Hope that helps
Answer: I've caught a stocked trout 7lbs on 2 lb izorline on my BG 1500. Smooth enough drag to fight the big ones. The 1500 also has a single carbon fiber drag where a lot of reels this size use felt drags.
Q:
Is it true that the 6500 and 8000 size reels have the same size body just the 8000 has a bigger spool ?
Answer: yes!
Q:
Can i use a GX2 7feet medium heavy ugly stick with the 8000. Will the reel seat fit on it..
Answer: Im not sure about the reel seat.Thats a really large reel more suited for maybe a 9 0r 10' rod. If you want to stay with the 7' maybe go with Daiwa BG5000 or 6000. BG series is an excellent reel

Amazon Customer : Daiwa 8000 is a tank!
I have the 8000 and man it is a nice reel. Reels smoothly and the drag is strong. Was able to pull in a 80lb plus blue fin tuna no problem. Paired this up with the daiwa saltist rod extra heavy. If you’re thinking about using this for tuna don't think twice and get it. Its a great 100 real and a little heavy but it gets the job done.
La Fille Lucky : Smooth as silk waterproof and an amazing price
Game changing Reels for the price

Mao Van : Big and heavy like a tank
Big and heavy like a tank. Built for big fish no doubt. I had a big sturgeon on and the reel handled flawlessly. The drag system did its job. Nice reel!
DIDDY : 5 Years Old. Still The Champ!
I purchased my second 8000 BG Saltwater Spinning Reel last month after I’m still running the 2016 original BG 8000 for inshore and surf fishing down at the Gulf. I like this design. It reminds me of my first nice reel about 45 years ago. It was a Daiwa Salty 60, circa 1978 and was similar to these 8000 BG SW. I remember how advanced that old Salt Daiwa was compared to the chunky green plastic Zebco 808 back when I was a young teen....
Back to my review of the Daiwa BG8000 Saltwater Spinner. I’m referring to the big old 8000. It’s heavy. It’s large. Small or large coastal dwellers are no match for the Black Gold, Big Game Daiwa 8000. Time has been running great for this model because it was so nicely designed and engineered over 5 years ago. The 5.3: 1 Gear Ratio is in my opinion a large part of its success. It was rare to find the 6+1 Roller Bearings made from SS. It was unheard for a 33 lb Max Drag on a $100 spinner.
Basically everything Daiwa put into the 8000 BG Saltwater reel was and still is copied by the competition. This black gold will be around for a long time now.

rebekah : Awesome reels
I bought 2 of 8000 and being in AZ it was probably a little overboard but I fish from California where I use it on a 12 surf rod and target sharks and rays which so far it has handled effortlessly to Texas with 8ft boat rods for Gar and anything else that will go after big bait . I have no worries what might pick them up they can handle it . and in Az I like to drop lines with huge live bait at the dams and see how big a cat I can get . LOVE THESE REELS . At the price point not sure there is anything better .

Jay : Excellent reel, used it for the first time yesterday
Excellent reel, used it for the first time yesterday, went fishing for triggerfish in Puerto Penasco, I fitted the reel with Berkeley trilene 40 lb test line. This is an awesome reel, very sturdy, where others reels have locked up while trying to reel in just one triggerfish (cochito)at a time, this reel allowed me at times to reel up 3 triggerfish at a time with no hesitation. And that is no easy task . I would definitely recommend this reel & give it
5 stars & 2 thumbs up
2nd fishing trip with my new reel . This reel is awesome . I reeled up 4 triggerfish & 2 Rock bass on a 6 hook rig at one time today. I included a picture of some of the fish I caught today.

i paired it up with a 10.5 foot uglystik custom graphite medium heavy action 80lb braided line and i have used 8oz weight and cast far and holds well over 300 yards i just landed 36 inch striped bass from bank with relative ease
andrew : Little heavy to hold on it, for fishing from boat GREAT, STRONG
Little to heavy, but works great
Sim Chhay : N/A
Good,smooth reel. I like it.
Danny Chow : Great line capacity and smooth reeling
I have purchased the 4000 for multipurpose inshore. The reel is smooth along with the drag. There is little to no delay when beginning to crank. Line sits well and even. The 4000 holds 300 yards of 30lb braid and weighs at 14oz for reel which is pretty light. I just purchased a 8000 for sharking
salah : nice
perfect
Tony Blanton : Great deal for under $200
I like the ruggedness of the reel body. I have fought several heavy fish so far without any problems. The reel has great line capacity and smooth drag
Robbie M : It’s a Daiwa so a great product
This reel can cost around $140 in stores and scored a great deal here, a 5000 size is $130 at stores so buy it here
Daniel : Durable and decently priced
Heavy, durable and strong reel for big fish for a decent price, why wouldnt you buy it.
jose rolando gamarro : Best
Great reel this is my 4th daiwa reel I order I am going to pair whit ugly stik 12 foot is going to be the best, also I have daiwa bg 5000 whit ugly stik is a perfect combination
edwin hook : This spinning reel works!
I like this spinning reel and I was able to catch Bonito on a full-day charter and it works very well!
John Cappelli : This reel is built like a tank
This reel is built like a tank! I got the 8000 series and I put 400 yards of reaction tackle 80lb braid on it and it casts very well. It is a bit heavy in hand indeed but the quality and size you get with this reel is completely unmatched at this class of reel. No Penn or shimano will come close to the spool size or drag pressure this has in the 100 dollar price range. Some 500 dollar reels don't perform this well. I'm a sold Daiwa customer with this purchase.
Amazon Customer : Great reel
Ive had this for a year and it hasn't failed yet. Ive taken this in saltwater and everything. I like it because it holds a good amount of line. Watch running too much mono, you will use a lot of yardage. I ran 250 yards of 80 lb braid and tied an FG not to roughly 50 yards of 80 lb mono mono and everything fit it comfortably on reel.
MusicMan : Great reel for the money.
Reels like butter and feels solid in the hands, just an overall well built reel, mine is paired with a 12ft Meat Hunter heavy action rod for catfishing ;-)
Zak McCue : Love the BG 8000
I love the smoothness of this reel and the high quality drag, nothing compared to any of my other reels and the line lay is perfect, yes it's a bit heavy but I like heavy reels so it's perfect.
WALTER GREEN : Cost
Have not been able to use but once but rod really works well
Alijah : Very nice!!!
Daiwa BG is a great reel. The the up and down of the spool when reeling it in is smooth.
Amazon Customer : Daiwa BG 8000 reel is built for salt water fishing
Have used for surf fishing for over a month now. The reel was well built, quiet and sealed for salt water fishing. Dropped it in the sand salt water twice already, a little bit of WD40 can restore the reel in brand new condition. Well worth the money.
Cruzanrican : A very good Reel.
This real is solid and operates smoothly. Yes it has some weight but if your anticipating a big fish then this reel will put your mind at ease. Nice strong drag and easy to adjust. A most have not only for surf fishing but also off shore.
DIDDY : 5 Years Old. Still The Champ!
I purchased my second 8000 BG Saltwater Spinning Reel last month after I’m still running the 2016 original BG 8000 for inshore and surf fishing down at the Gulf. I like this design. It reminds me of my first nice reel about 45 years ago. It was a Daiwa Salty 60, circa 1978 and was similar to these 8000 BG SW. I remember how advanced that old Salt Daiwa was compared to the chunky green plastic Zebco 808 back when I was a young teen....
Back to my review of the Daiwa BG8000 Saltwater Spinner. I’m referring to the big old 8000. It’s heavy. It’s large. Small or large coastal dwellers are no match for the Black Gold, Big Game Daiwa 8000. Time has been running great for this model because it was so nicely designed and engineered over 5 years ago. The 5.3: 1 Gear Ratio is in my opinion a large part of its success. It was rare to find the 6+1 Roller Bearings made from SS. It was unheard for a 33 lb Max Drag on a $100 spinner.
Basically everything Daiwa put into the 8000 BG Saltwater reel was and still is copied by the competition. This black gold will be around for a long time now.

Jonathan : Great reel.
I use it every weekend, very happy with my purchase.
rebekah : Awesome reels
I bought 2 of 8000 and being in AZ it was probably a little overboard but I fish from California where I use it on a 12 surf rod and target sharks and rays which so far it has handled effortlessly to Texas with 8ft boat rods for Gar and anything else that will go after big bait . I have no worries what might pick them up they can handle it . and in Az I like to drop lines with huge live bait at the dams and see how big a cat I can get . LOVE THESE REELS . At the price point not sure there is anything better .
