Good Combo

SacRiver
1 year ago

This is a pretty nice combo. I put 50lb Jbraid on it. Used it crab snaring and the rod holds up pretty good. I have the Penn Battle 3 5000 and I prefer the Bg over it. The little difference in weight is not noticeable.

Best combo

Nathan

An all around great combo. From reds, flounder, and trout. Best combo for the money.

Casting dream

I ordered this for surf fishing mostly and some boat fishing. Got the Diawa BG4500 spooled up with 50 lb braid, (I think it held about 280 yards) It cast smooth and even with the 9 ft rod you can sling it on out there. Reeling it in is equally smooth and it pulls like a winch. The 9 ft 2 piece broken down fits perfectly across the back seat headrest of my 150 crew cab so it read more can stay in the truck pretty much 24/7. Unfortunately only got to test it out on some spanish and blues so far but I'm headed back soon.

Great reel, cheap rod with this 6500 combo

went snapper fishing and literally snapped the rod on my first keeper (16" Red Snapper). The reel is awesome but the action on the rod and the build quality is poor.

Great value

This combo spooled with 10 lb. test line was the tool of choice for my fall surf fishing trip.
Landed drum up to 30 inches and had a blast with this light and comfortable combo.

Awesome product

I usually travel to Mazatlan Mexico and this combo it’s amazing for every type of fishing ... I originally bought this one for my son but I use this combo at rivers lakes mangroves at the beach I have a 12 ft rod but my son he uses this one and he loves it it’s amazing and makes the job Done ... the reel by itself is amazing my son doesn’t have any trouble reeling the fish and read more I have the same reel bg 8000 for the surf fishing and it’s amazing BG hands down it’s one of the few reels budget/performance ever made this guy can compete with the big reels that cost 3 times more than this one

Good budget combo

If you’re in between budget and performance this is your combo. The BG is simply a reliable tank that’ll withstand jetty use. Although I would not recommend reeling it under water in the surf it’s still a fantastic boat combo or jetty combo

Good product
