Daiwa BG8000 spinning reel with 5.61:1 gear ratio, machined aluminum housing and carbon drag for saltwater.
The Daiwa BG 8000 is a large saltwater-oriented spinning reel with a machined aluminum body and a braid-ready spool. Its 5.3:1 gearing and 6+1 bearing layout suit heavy line and bigger fish from shore, pier or boat. Anglers stepping up to big spinning gear will find a roomy spool and a high drag ceiling.
