Daiwa (spinning reel 16 BG 4000

Product Information

The feel of this reel is one of the main advantages of it, particularly that overall the tech on the reel is on the lower-tech side. The Daiwa D4000 Spinning Reel is an embodiment of Daiwa's steadfast commitment to quality and functionality. Engineered with precision, this reel showcases its comprehensive features, becoming an irresistible proposition for any angler. Yes, as long as the size is suitable, as too big a reel for waggler fishing, for example, makes a lightweight rod feel clumsy, whilst too small a reel for feeder fishing will restrict casting distance and reduce the winding power needed to retrieve heavy feeders. This is where spare spools become useful. On a 4000-sized reel, one could be loaded with 3lb line for waggler fishing, whilst a second could be loaded with 6lb for the feeder. The gear is made of cast zinc, but still feels great and should provide good durability through the life of the reel.

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. 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 BG has a very smooth feeling as you turn the reel’s handle. This is likely due to the over-sized digigear system, in conjunction with the Both Daiwa and Penn Battle brands are highly regarded in the fishing industry, particularly when it comes to sea fishing. Here’s why these brands offer some of the best reels for saltwater fishing:Big pit: A reel with a long spool designed for extreme long-range casting by reducing the resistance of the line. A 5kg drag provides the pulling power you need, while infinite anti-reverse allows for complete line control. 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. Typically when people think of a 4000 size reel, they think of a bigger, heavier, “do everything” reel.

Powerful drag systems – Whether you prepare night sea angling or daylight, it involves battling strong, hard-fighting fish species. Daiwa and Penn Battle reels are equipped with robust drag systems that provide the necessary stopping power and control to handle these aggressive fish. The drag systems on these reels are designed to deliver smooth and consistent pressure, allowing anglers to tire out and land their catch effectively. If you're looking for a light reel that still gives reliable, smooth action on larger carp and smaller predators, then the Daiwa Regal is an affordable choice that's designed for performance, and engineered to deliver results without hassle. The cold-forged Tough Digigear drive gear has been completly re-designed to cope also with the hardest strains during heavy and frequent fishing. The smooth rotation will remain smooth for the lifetime under normal fishing conditions. The gearing noise during retreive is virtually eliminated to the lowest level and will support you in concentrating on your fishing. Due to the cast zinc construction, versus brass or aluminum, it should be much less expensive to replace if you ever find yourself needing to. With only slight variations in body size, gear ratio, line capacity, and weight, this series of reels from Daiwa may make it tough to decide which one will work best for you.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 Air Metal Monocoque Body is extremly rigid and tough and provides perfect housing for the gearing. This - in conjunction with the oversized, large drive gear - (up to 85% of the bodie´s surface) significantly contributes to keep the smooth and soft retrieval and gear feeling. Thanks to the oversized drive gear, the power tarsnmission is considerably improved - perfect for lure fishing with soft lures and braided lines on long and short distances. Even heavy loads can easily be reeled in. High gear is always important for fast casting and faster retrievals. The higher is the gear the large fish you can catch. The low gear is only used for the smaller fish. 6:1 ratio is considered as the high gear ratio and lower than it used for the small and medium fish. You can use more than one reel and it depends on user choice and affordability. Anti-Reverse
