Have not had a chance to use it yet. Went to Florida to fish. But couldn't go out due to weather. Going next to try it out in Tampa Bay water's. The reel is of very high quality. So I do not see any issues in the future with it.

Great reel for snapper, med size grouper, and YFT. Well built and good quality parts. A few wishes, the LPT labeled on it, a way to attach hooks, a way to attach line. Not huge deals, but wishes.

Looking for a great reel that is every bit as good as other reels that cost twice as much? Consider getting the Daiwa BG. You can find it in small sizes suitable for ultra light fishing, or get in the 8000 size and catch a tarpon. Smooth reel, smooth drag and comfortable grip. These reels are durable, smooth and should last a lifetime if you take care of them. I was always a Shimano guy but these Daiwa BG reels really surprised me.

Very good quality, I can see why Daiwa. Has been making this model for so many years.

I live on the coast of Georgia and fish for everything from speckled seatrout to 250 lb blacktip sharks. This reel handled our East Coast Snapper season very well easily bringing up large red snapper off the bottom some 90 feet down and a couple of cobia. I loaded the reel with 80lb braid and attached to a heavy duty Daiwa rod. I bought this reel to replace a Daiwa of similar size for casting to sharks and tarpon. I'm confident I'll be able to use this reel for years to come. Handle will switch from left to right.
