This complete series ranges from ultralight freshwater actions to heavy big game saltwater models. Review: Very smooth - Great reels...it's Diawa, can't go wrong. Review: Good price, well made and swings above its weight class. - I suppose ordinarily, customarily, it would be prudent to wait to review a product until after you've really had a chance to use (and abuse) it. However, I got this reel in the mail today and got to using it nearly immediately. Now granted, I'm really not a huge gear head (the last reel/rod combo I bought was in 2005) but this is the nicest reel I've ever used. It has such a smooth, easy cast and a really nice drag with it that I'm just over the moon. No regrets whatsoever about this purchase. I would imagine that there's honestly better equipment out there - deals to be had, more bearings, less weight etc, but this reel fell just under $100. Not by much, but ce'est la vie, it feels like a steal at that price, it really does. I went freshwater fishing today in a large river and I caught nothing on it, as a caveat, but it didn't hardly seem to matter because all the other important dynamics were there as previously mentioned. One final note: while it's a bit vain and a little silly, this reel also just looks really nice. Once you open the box, you kind of get enough of a different perspective than the desertcart pics to kind of understand, it just looks nice. Solid reel, don't think you can go wrong with it! ## Features - Black Anodized Machined Aluminum Housing ("Hard Bodyz" Body & Side Cover) - Over-sized Digigear (Digigear System) - Solid Screw-In Handle - Air Rotor - Line Capacity (Lb.

I used this yesterday surf fishing I was surprised how smooth this reel is in part because of the main gear where the handle is screwed in is much larger than reels in this class and smooth as silk, Bass pro shops and others sell the Diawa product at a much higher price it's about how much profit they need to make.Remember Amazon has the best return policy in the industry which I have used in the past. **Q: Where can I get parts** A: I would try Daiwa's customer support . **Q: How is this reel for trout fishing in lakes and rivers?** A: Thank you for your question, The BG2500 is a model that was designed for saltwater inshore applications and may be a bit heavy for trout fishing. For trout we would recommend the BG1500 or BG2000 as the optimal sizes in this series. **Q: Is there a difference between bg and bg saltwater? or are they the same?** A: Thank you for your question. This model is the BG2500, sometimes referred to as the BG2500 saltwater, but it is the same reel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very smooth *by B***N on October 4, 2026* Great reels...it's Diawa, can't go wrong. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price, well made and swings above its weight class. *by A***N on July 19, 2018* I suppose ordinarily, customarily, it would be prudent to wait to review a product until after you've really had a chance to use (and abuse) it.

Solid reel, don't think you can go wrong with it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm glad I made the purchase *by C***H on November 4, 2018* I have only used it once for about a 10 hour day of fishing. I was wade fishing near Arroyo City, Tx. for specks, reds and flounder. 1/2 way through the day I slipped in a hole and completely dunked the reel in salt water. I kept using it and it never missed a beat. It reminded "smooth like buttah!" I got home after the trip and dunked it in fresh water for about 10 minutes, dried it then lubed the line roller, greased the top and bottom of the spool and lubed the handle (all in all about 7 minutes of maintenance) and it's still oh so smooth. I also caught about 10 or so fish... Nothing major, but my line was tight, my drag sang a couple of times and the reel is excellent! EDIT: 05-04-19 Ive taken it out and have put about 50-60 more hours on this reel. Ive caught quite a few more slot reds and trout. I've dunked 2 more times by acccident when wade fishing. I clean it with fresh water and oil it regularly and it runs smooth. I really like this reel. I have faith in it and my Fin-Nor Lt25. Both great reels. ## Frequently Bought Together - Daiwa BG2500 BG Saltwater Spinning Reel, 2500, 5.6: 1 Gear Ratio, 6+1 Bearings, 33.20" Retrieve Rate, 13.20 lb Max Drag,Black/gold - KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have! - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/36715823-bg2500](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/36715823-bg2500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
