Built for big fish and tough environments, the Daiwa BG 5000 Spinning Reel delivers rugged performance at a value fishermen trust. Featuring a precision-machined aluminum body and side plate, this reel is corrosion-resistant and rock solid—ideal for surf, offshore, and inshore action. Powered by DigiGear® oversized gears and a fast 5.7:1 gear ratio, it offers smooth, powerful retrieves at about 47.4 inches per handle turn. The Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) system provides silky smooth, controllable drag up to 22 lb, while the Air Rotor, braided-line ready Dynamic Cut ABS spool, and machined aluminum screw-in handle ensure fluid performance under load. Designed for durability and strength, the BG 5000 excels when the catch gets serious.
