Daiwa Fuego LT vs. Daiwa BG (which reel should you buy?)

This video goes over two very popular and similar spinning reels; the Diawa BG and the Fuego LT. If you are torn between which of these two reels is best for you, which reel is better overall, and which reel will suit your needs on the water; than this video is for you!
This video goes over every thing you need to know about each reel. It goes over the pros and cons of each reel, the overall feel of each, what I like about each one, and what I don’t; the good the bad and the ugly, and much more.

I notice your testing the Fuego released in 2020 and not the newest 2023 edition. I could tell right away from the thickness of the bail arm. I'm not sure which one I should get. The 2020 edition or the 2023 * with thinner and lighter bail arm?

[@WolfAngling]

Me personally I like the thicker bail arm, when I had bought the Fuego the 2023 version was not out yet so I did not have a choice. I am not sure what the new Fuego has to offer and how different it is from the old one, but I definitely like I thicker bail.

I was looking at the Shimano Vanford the other day and I noticed that the Fuego looks almost identical. If it wasn't for that awful chrome, I would've bought it on the spot.

[@JurgenManifesto-gr2rb]

Neither, get yourself a shimano reel.

You’re comparing a 3000 size to a 2500 size

[@WolfAngling]

Yes I am, the reason so is because the 3000 size Fuego is about the same size as the 2500 BG.

[@keginwhyte523]

I have 2 BGs. Ordering a Fuego 3000. I have a gomexus power handle already waiting for it. The BGS already have em. Which makes a big difference

[@WolfAngling]

Yea, I wish they would put that handle on the Fuego.

[@bengarrison5256]

The only difference between the 3000 fuego and the 2500 fuego is the t handle and the spool size. There’s no true. Getting way more bang for buck out of the bigger real. They’re the same

[@paulmoss7940]

BG is great reel for price.

[@jakesnake7112]

I have the bg 4500

[@keginwhyte523]

Order A Gomexus power handle for it

[@Eyesofthasouth]

The fuego 2500 has a high gear ratio which picks up more line per turn of the handle. I like them both, but to me the BG feels more quality and tougher. Good review

[@WolfAngling]

I feel exactly the same way, couldn’t have said it better myself!

[@Mr.Page245]

Nice

[@alexpazmino4762]

Does the fuego use digi gear ?

[@WolfAngling]

Yeah, it uses larger digi gear than the average Daiwa reel, with a lighter and smaller frame.
