What customers say about "Key Specs"

Daiwa BG 3000 (0001-4132) Spinning Reels

This reel has the same bearings as the ultra premium reels , and feels ultra smooth.
his is an outstanding reel, it has a rubber gasket around the spool to make it easy to spool braid without any hassle or need for a monofilament backing.
This is an awesome, high quality reel. 3000 size is perfect for bass, inshore fishing, and even salmon
Fantastic reel, oversized spool and super smooth! Really love the machined aluminum.
Loaded it with 30 lb test Suffix 832 Advanced braid and just used it for 4 weeks in Florida. Very impressed with this reel.

Shimano NASCI (NAS4000XGFB) Compact Spinning Reel

The reel is very smooth with a feel of tightness found in reels that cost twice as much.
I have it spooled with 17 lb test nano fil on a Med / Hvy spinning rod rated for 1/4 - 1 oz lures. Casts amazingly well and I had zero line issue.
So far these reels seem to be a great bang for the buck. Smooth and a nice drag.
Super smooth drag that handles big reds and snook flawlessly. Paired it with a Gander Mountain Tournmanet mediam-heavy rod.
Smooth action, excellent drag.

What customers say about "Drag"

Daiwa BG 3000 (0001-4132) Spinning Reels

The same, identical to the number Japanese bearings that the Saltiga and Shimano Stella reels use. Same top tier Daiwa lubricant is also used.
It's built like a tank and it is easy to adjust the drag.
Smooth. Great drag. Casts well. Braid ready. Looks great. Hard to beat at this price point.
Very smooth,very adjustable drag. Mostly used for light saltwater kayaking with 15lb braid.
The drag is buttery smooth and it can hammer down when needed to.

Shimano NASCI (NAS4000XGFB) Compact Spinning Reel

What I liked most is the smooth action, super strong and smooth drag! This reel is light and compact but able to handle larger fish in saltwater.
As always, Shimano reels are great! Very smooth and balanced.
Light, responsive. I really like the way the drag is easy to set.
There is a serious problem with the geometry of this this reel.

What customers say about "Features"

Daiwa BG 3000 (0001-4132) Spinning Reels

They have many high end features found on reels five times their price, such as NMB bearings, anodized coating, and a silky smooth drag system.
They are sealed very well too and hold up in the salt.
The BG 3000 is a small reel, the action is very good and smooth and with practice you can make it reel without even using the handle.
I like it. Smooth, durable and has a good seal all around. Paired with 15lb suffix camo braid.
Sizing is larger with line capacity when compared to Shimano Stradic or Symetre. Slower gear ratios. Better feel than Penn Battle 2.

Shimano NASCI (NAS4000XGFB) Compact Spinning Reel

The reel was used every day in saltwater for a week and it cleaned up very well ,so I guess the protective coating advertised works.
Tip of reel crank handle is texturized, thick, flat, T-shaped with rounded top. This allows for a very strong grip when placed in the palm between ring finger & middle finger.
Great value for money, strong enough drag to fish inshore and offshore. Smooth operation, and great a fast line retrieve.
All I use is Shimano spinning reels and this one is just as good as my stradic for less. I would recommend to anyone, very smooth drag and action.
Anti-reverse feature is permanent with no switch to manually reverse retrieve.
