Love this reel and the service from The Saltwater Edge is second to none.
I love the Daiwa BG line. They are workhorses at a great price! I have a few of them in different sizes and they are smooth and reliable.
Strong and reliable reel, smooth running. Good price.
Freezing internally after 1 season. The internal standalone rotor that cannot be disassembled or opened is frozen. Maybe this one is a lemon.
