I will say, this is the ONLY youtube channel I've found that reviews in a un biased way and goes into such deep details and crucial information but somehow still keeps it simple enough for fishermen to understand. Not sure how you do it Tackle Advisors but great video! It certainly helped me out in picking a surf fishing spinning reel.

this is the longest you tube video i have finished watching. that pretty much sums up what i think about your videos. love em

LMAO thanks luke!!! Now get a life and go fishin lmao!!!

Please promise us you will always keep the reviews this honest. Absolutely brilliant video as usual. Thank you.

Quality content right here! never thought someone would do such comprehensive review.

Watched this video a few times. Got a raise this month and now a Bg2000 on it's way. Thank you for the thorough reviews. Truly a blessing to those of us not able to take time or spend the cash to make the comparisons ourselves.

Excellent in depth comparison. I'm fishing 2 Daiwa BGs in different sizes for about a year now. When new I did a tear down, lube and rebuild following your maintenance tutorial for the BG. Not because they needed it but because I liked to. They have been brilliant. They feel and perform so good up to a point that I wonder where I need my much more expensive Shimano's for. Love'm!

I appreciate the unbiased reviews my good sir. Nothing says honest review like having a matching T-shirt and hat of the product you're reviewing.

I took a Penn Battle 2, 4000 into the Boundary Waters on a 70 miles trip. 50 by canoe, and 20 on foot. The battle stayed outside for all five days. Several days of rain, and one of which was a storm that caused a ton of blow down (aka trees fell over). To this day all Ive done is add the oil it came with and it makes zero noise or clunks. When the bearings start to go, Ill be upgrading them to fully sealed as well as dry lube on the metal surfaces. Would like to try the BG, but its hard to turn my back on what the battle has went through and laughed at.

You have the BEST reviews! Thank you. Elias knows how to stress a reel. You two working together lends credibility to the reviews. I am now a believer.

Ive ran a bg4000 for a couple of years and i added a bg6500 to the fleet today. I have zero complaints about the Diawa. Great reels

I really am happy to be a part of the subscription . I respect your time your dedication and the way you articulate yourself bud . Please keep up the good work

Best review I’ve ever read; and Ihave read many in my 70 years. Professional.

Just subscribed to your channel. Hands down some of the best reel reviews on the internet. Really starting to understand how these companies work when it comes to marketing and pricing on some of these reels. Will definitely help me on purchasing decisions.

I've watched this video multiple time- always learn something new for my reel purchasing decisions. Thank you

Great review. I have had a battle 2 6000 for 3 years now and have caught multiple mahi/tuna on it. The drag and reel still work great with minor maintenance. We will always find small flaws with any reel, but I will keep buying penn reels in the near future.

Good info, been fishing the tsunami shield 3000 & 4000. Been true too Shimano for years. I’m mainly saltwater fishing, in the mid Atlantic regions. Tsunami has been and still is being put to the test. I’m impressed. Time will tell the truth.

Hey mate. Appreciate a no nonsense, bulls*it free review. Good to see a technical review as opposed to an opinion piece based on use but never even looking at internals. You've got another subscriber.

Great review! like all of your vids. waiting for another allready!

Very helpful video. Thanks for this multi reel comparison review from your own perspective, It is much appreciated. The Socorro was a reel I was looking at a few months back, Now, after seeing this video I am happy I didn"t get it. I have the same view on the hex handles as you ( I see it as a bad design).

Hey brother! just wanted to say thanks for all your helpful videos. keep it up.

most thorough review i've ever seen! keep it up! (PS I just subbed)

Great video, very informative and entertaining. Also at 13:15 you lost that bet buddy, that was the first thing that crossed my mind when you placed them side by side lol

Hehe I’ve just subscribed on your channel as a support. “Thank you for this” very informative

Thanks for all the work you put into these videos. I went with the BG and I guess I will be changing out a bearing in a year or so....

Another great video, keep em coming!!! Really interested to see what the differences and upgrades are between these and some of the $200 range spinning reels. I am waiting still to buy either a Tatula LT or Stradic Ci4+2500/Stradic FK1000, my old Revo STX20 (not old, 2016) is going on a 6'Light TFO for creek and bream fishing.

Had a blast testing The Diawa BG saltwater reels 3000 this past fall Salmon fishing. I was looking for a reel that friends and kids could use to beat the heck out of fishing Chinook / Coho Salmon. Skein and bobber fishing Salmon in fresh water streams of Michigan. Worked great, Great drag, Takes a beating... Not a loose screw one reel 500 salmon later.. We also had fun testing the Diawa Tatula 3000 &4000 , Shimano stradic 3000 & 4000 , The 2500 Stella, Diawa Revros 2500 and The Pflueger. The only reel we did not like was the Pflueger. Just watched one of your reviews for the first time... I liked your review alot !!! Finally someone who takes the reels apart and explains the interworkings of the reel with a materials list.. Thanks for the good reviews .... If you ever need a reel to review let me know i have a bunch.... I purchaed 15 different reels looking to see how they would hold up to all fishing. Steelhead,Salmon,Gills Trout,Pike ,walleye. We have a world class fishery here in Michigan. I fish alot... My father will fish 200 plus days per year. He recently broke the Stella he purchased in the early 90's .... the reel had a estamated 30,000 fish under its belt. I am kinda hoping they still make that kind of quality reel since i just purchased my first Stella this seaon 2018. My dad sent in his Stella reel for a cleaning. The man who cleaned the Stella my father owned said in 30 years he had never seen a reel look so used ?? lolololol Ended up charging a cleaning fee lol...

Great video.. Thanks from Northern Ireland.. I have used a penn battle 3 for salmon.. Got a Daiwa BG....Daiwa BG for me

Good comparisons. The information helped me. Thank you!

This review is GOLD thank you

For being new to fishing, this helped me a lot!

This really made me consider the reels I buy love this vid

Thanks for the info and really appreciate the time you put in to make this video. BTW, don’t know if it was intentional or not but if you want all the Amazon links to be clickable you’ll need to add the full URL to the links like you did with the Pen battle II 4000 link. Awesome video.

You are the only person that understands that line lay will cause a knot. I've told people it does for a long time and nobody believed me, so glad I've found someone else who notices it. Quantum has the worse line lay.

Amazing video.... Keep the good work 👍🏼🎣

I run a Nasci 1000 on my ultralight rig for freshwater light-line finesse work. It services easily and runs like silk despite a good number of fights when I hooked into fish far bigger than my intended species. My issue is that I’m looking to replace my 3000 size spinning reel for bulkier freshwater finesse fishing. Between this video and my baseline experience with the Nasci, I have a couple great options on the table. Thanks for making such a thorough video; very appreciated from a guy who services his own reels.

Thanks for the video and all the information you provided. I own the Diawa BG 4000 I love it. I was thinking of buying the shield but with that crappy main gear and the side cap that spins defiantly not worth the money.

Great work! Appreciate everything- can tell this was a big undertaking. Respectfully ask you consider a future look at some Baitfeeder equipped offerings? I know alot of guys look down on em, but those of us that also dabble with Cats have to have em

Sooo, I lost my much used and loved older Daiwa BG20 Ugly stick combo yesterday, I still have its twin on a Crowley Rod. After much debate I chose the BG4000 as its replacement over the battle II. The BG20 landed some pretty big saltwater fish including a 35LB Mahi on 12lb test mono backed with braid. I hope the BG4000 proves as reliable. The clincher was the comment regarding the battle II wind knots. If not for that I would have gone with the PENN.

Thank you very much for the in-depth review! Excellent and to the point. Granted it'll never cover everything everybody gonna wanna know but you did a great job and contributed tremendously to fishing community, as well as manufacturing process (for those who cares to listen and I know smart ones are listening). My main reels are Daiwa BGs, and recently got a few Fuego LTs, amongst baitcasters, conventionals. I have yet used Fuego LT much and will try to remember to update once I've got a few miles out of those. I fish from surf and banks, typically red/black drums, speckled trouts with occasional bluefish, and typical trashes. Once in a while I do kayak as well, thus the reason for Fuego. Keep up the good work and thank you again fro LA!

How has your Fuego stacked up against the BG? If the performance is similar I will definitely go Fuego LT, based on the sole fact that it is lighter. Biggest complaint I've heard is that the Fuego LT can flex when handling larger fish.

@willh.2155

5 жыл бұрын

@@STiMPUTELLO Recently I used more of the Fuego LT than BG, because it's lighter. And I finally broke down and fixed the line lay issue of the Fuego, by adding one extra plastic shim. Both of my Fuego's got this problem out of the box. Sad really. If you google, you'll see that this is a very common issue. About 2 weeks ago, me and my son went fishing, we got several 20+" reds on both BG and Fuego. Performance wise, no difference. Weight wise, I prefer Fuego.

Thanks for the great review!

Awesome review as usual.... 👍👌

Hi great video my favorite reel is an old Michell reel i have it 30 years plus i take it apart every year and clean out the old grease and pack it with new grease it had 2 spools with it when it was new but i lost one about 20 years a go i have pulled in a few pike 20 Lb and over it has never let me down

That's awesome! My #1 reel is a 1980's vintage Mitchell 300A. For a spare spool they pop up on eBay regularly

This was a fantastic reel. I have used both the BGs and Battle 2s. when it comes to the handle being one piece or it breaks down such as the battle 2, I prefer the battle 2 style. when it comes to storage under the gunwales on a flats boat you usually run into storage space issues. being able to loosen the handle and fold that handle in it allows it to fit better and also don't run into the issue of handles being kicked. which has been a problem. but to each their own. but awesome review!! Tight lines!!

I love these videos. I rebuild reels watching them

Just got a saltwater BG 5000 and could not be more pleased for the price. If nobody told me,would swear it cost 150$ or up. Excellent deal for the price. Very solid and well made. Puts the spinfisher V I bought a few years back to shame.

When your doing these reviews I feel like the reels are teams in a sport all trying to win the super bowl, which would be your favorite reel in this case. It gets me so into it I just can’t look away from the screen.

thankyou for what you do,I think you know how much you are appreciated.Killer channel and content.

Awesome info, thanks. Great video.

Fabulous job Scoob! I don't watch a lot of reel reviews but it cracks me up when you have some joker "review" the reel by reading the specs. Or when the same guy says "Brand X is lighter in the 2500 size than Brand Y but it holds less line." Ummmm yeah, perhaps because it a smaller reel? Reminds me of "But this one goes to 11." Can't wait for albie season the put the BG back into service. After your vid, I may have to give the Tsunami another shot. I was sure it was going to win the top turd prize

I love the penn battle and the bg. They are both black and gold they look super similar. They are like twins, that hate each other and always fight over who is better. I hope you get what I’m saying lol. 😂

The battle vs bg comparison was fascinating. Kudos to you for pointing out the bearing noise at the end of the review. Those bearings are virtually dry in the new reels and they will fail [ask me how I know]. Penn definitely outdid Daiwa on preventing failure on the pinion bearing. I also like the fact that the carbon drag washers are keyed to the spool. That main gear on the shield is pitiful. It would last no time on snapper and amberjacks. Whenever you hold a spool up to the camera to show the line lay it looks like there is way to heavy a braid on the spools. Those spool line clips are just aggravating. Most of the time the flouro leader you are using won't begin to go under that clip. Really was a fun hour watch all in all. Good job!

I own 3 out of these 6 egg beaters (BG4000, Shield 5000 and a 4000 Nasci). After more than a hard fishing year on the water, I must give it to the shield as it is still holding strong. aside of the overall quality of the shield (body Finish, not so strong handle and the looks of a $25 reel) it still looks and feels the same out of the box. compared to the BG which got very loose and wiggly after one season. One recommendation to the Shield is to convert it to a manual bail. Also, this is a tough reel to match/balance to a good rod, after many trials, I paired it with a Lamiglas Insane 9ft surf rod. you get yourself a great $200 surf setup. looking forward to seeing the Tsunami SaltX and what it would bring to the table against fully sealed reels in the market.

For fresh water, I have been fishing Diawa Lexa reels and really like them.

that was roller coaster thx alot! now i hav good knowledge bout em before buyin

Older video, but still relevant. I just bought Daiwa BG 4500 and 2500. Have only fished the 2500 so far. I have 8 lb mono on it and it casts far and reels smooth. Both BGs have excellent line lay with mono, 15 lb on the 4500. I also just bought a Fuego 4000 LT. I am outfitting to start light surf fishing in NC, haven’t gone yet. I have 20 lb braid on one spool and 15 lb mono on the other. Both have excellent line lay. Hope they fish well.

I had my Okuma Cedros drop in the surf today and it got full of sand in under two minutes in order to get into the gear box at all lit required a total take down odds are I'll be replacing it with a Penn as you can just remove the crank and take the side cover off food for thought. It didn't go back together very well.

I wish i had seen this sooner. My socorro sw 6000 is used as a bait chunking reel on the jetties. Now, 3 weeks ago it got dragged into the ship channel off the jetties. I jumped in (instincts kicked in, id never recommend doing this) and retrievd it. It was banged up and was completely submerged in saltwater for a few minutes. I figured that the cheap reel was done for. All i did was rinse it off, and one month later, it fishes and feels exactly the same it did when i bought it. For a jetty beater, i couldn't ask for more from a $130 reel.

Very informative breakdown on the reels. By far the longest review i’ve watched but yet its worthy. Keep up the good job. By the way guys stay away from Socorro for your own good. There are better reels out there. Cheers

I did buy from the Amazon Warehouse a Tempo Apex Plus spinning reel for 23 bucks , it reads Magnesium Body but I doubt it lol but it’s a remarkable Fishing Reel and I’ve used in my 40 years of throwing junk in the water a few Top Tier Reels and had the pleasure of using a Staal on the Pier in Chesapeake a few years ago from an Elderly Gentleman who said hey “you gotta try this Reel” lol.
