My entire arsenal is made up exclusively of this reel series ... I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to put this together .... KZbin please pay this man!!!

[@OGKill]

I refuse to go higher than a 5K in this series which the 5000 is definitely on the heavy side in weight itself. Honestly, if memory serves me right the 4500/5000 are very similar in weight if not the same. That being said, I myself have a 3K, 3500H, two 4Ks, and a 5K, didn’t pay over $100 on any some were new and they don’t just catch fish, if you use em right they handle em. 💪

[@edwhite1016]

Just had another look at this Nick, I watched it back when I was buying my Daiwas, my 3500 has been abused, underwater, in the rain on top of my car, and it needs a little lovin'. Great video, I know what I'm doing this morning.

[@ryanl3716]

This is one of, if not the best, how to video on KZbin. Great job from start to finish. My reel got hit with a rogue wave which made my reel feel like a sandy mess. This helped me get it back to running smoothly.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Glad it helped

[@bbllaakkeeee]

You’re a gentleman and a scholar. My BG got swamp washed today and it has more sand in it than a Sahara dust storm. This really helped. Thank you very very much!

[@johndudlicek9750]

Dude. That was so helpful. I fell down holding my rod, and the main shaft on my spinning reel got bent. I bought a new shaft for six dollars. I had no idea how to change that out, but followed this video. My reel is as good as new! Thank you

[@jorgecampa57]

This is the best detailed video of fishing reel service anyone could ever ask for . Thank you for sharing your professional expertise on servicing a daiwa black and gold . Anyone should feel comfortable servicing their reels, after watching your great video.

[@jonatherton]

Have two of these reels and recently one started to jam. Found this video, stripped it down, and put it back together. First time I've done this and I don't have anything close to an engineer's mind. Quite straight forward, apart from minute 39 when you quietly couple the cam gear with the main shaft! Didn't see that first time around so had to go back in a second time! Otherwise a very useful film! Thanks.

Bought the 2000 size on your recommendation nearly 2 years ago, now did a full service following this guide. Considering it has taken countless dunks in freshwater from kayaking and trout fishing in rapids and on pecarious grounds,it works as brand new still after maintenance. Thanks again, you are the man!

You sir are a blessing to the KZbin and the fishing community. Took me an hour to service and grease up my BG 3500 my buddy dunk in the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks again!!!

[@rohzpopper4922]

Even if any reel freeze, just shoot with lots of WD 40, things will be fine

[@RvanLaar66]

Great video! Thanks Tackle Advisors. But... I've just opened up my new 2500 for some preventive maintenance and found out that there are small differences between models. There can be a washer at the screw holding the case-bumper (at 16:20) sitting between the bumper and the case. It's not shown here nor in the shematics but both my 1500 and 2500 have it. The top cap covering the A-R clutch at 17:20 can sit on two tiny brass washers not shown in this video. There is also an arrow on the top cap that needs to point upwards > towards the foot of the reel. So beware and keep a REALLY close eye on all the parts in your particular model.

[@scottaguirre7564]

This is the first video I actually used to service my Diawa BG 4000, the reel turned out butter smooth, I’m always watching your tear down videos of the shimano and penn, even tho I don’t own a certain series of Shimano//Penn, I still find those videos entertaining!

[@TheBushwooky]

It's so awesome to have these detailed teardown's when in the market for reels. I strip mine down each year for cleaning and it's nice to see how they are designed internally. Have you considered doing a video at some point of all the different tools, lubes, oils, and cleaners you prefer for your reel maintenance?

[@AlanHowellphotovideo]

Just wanted to personally thank you for this video as I had a bearing retaining clip pop out and I couldn't figure how to get it back in. The cut q-tip method was the trick! I held a small pen light in my teeth to illuminate the bearing lip and that helped as well. As a side note, (and you probably already know this now), but the extra plastic washer under the spool is to adjust the line load angle to help prevent backlashes...according to Daiwa. This explains why some reels have it and some don't as some people have used it to set the spool a bit lower on the shaft. Thank you!

[@Flafinds]

Calm,clear voice.With straight forward approach.I did not pause once ! Great job !

[@buffdoc46]

Can't thank you enough. Your video has helped me restore all my Daiwa reels. The bearing disassemble was tough at first. I find certain greases are an issue with colder weather.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

I let a friend of mine borrow my BG6500 to do some surf fishing in NC. Got it back and it felt fine but over the next 6 weeks it got a little choppy. I opened it up and it was FULL of salt. Every nook and cranny was full of salt. The gearbox had salt chunks all over it, under the drag knob, under the rotor, the handle. The only places there was no salt was the actual drag washers and the AR clutch and sleeve. It was 10,000 times worse inside that it felt when spinning it. My buddy must have dropped it in the surf, went for a swim with it, something crazy. I broke it down entirely. Ultrasonic and a bowl of vinegar were helpful but a scrub pad and steel wool were best. It's got a decent gear grind now but it's fishable. Glad I didn't let him borrow my Saltiga.

[@jeffsmith825]

Serviced a BG 6500 today of a surf fisherman. Had a raspy noise, relatively new reel maybe 10 trips nothing crazy treating it. Said he'd tried to service it himself and it came out raspy. Turns out your cotton swab turned upside down to reset the non handle side bearing is important. He'd taken something hard trying to reset that bearing completely to out the retaining clip on. The entire cover of the bearing was chattered and dented. Took the covers off the bearing and it spun beautifully. Put the covers back on and it was raspy. I ended up packing the two main gear bearings which eliminated 75% of the raspy sound but it's a good lesson to share I thought. I love these reels and HATE that design. That non handle side bearing and retaining clip is a pain and I don't really understand why they designed it that way.

[@erockscott1184]

Thank you!!!...the bail on mine wasn't springing and you showed me how it worked and how to reassemble it!!!...got it!!! Now the bail snaps again like it should.

Nick I have a question. Does the handle switch from the left hand to the right hand for right hand retrieve? Just wondering thinking about getting one myself, but i am not sure if it can switch sides sense i retrieve right hand not left

[@nickrabauliman9164]

@@Anthony-nx7di to be honest when I first picked up the BG4500 I tried to switch it from left to right hand retrieve with no success, I'm not sure if I am not doing it correctly but it's not like other reels like the Shimano Nasci 5000 for example. I was able to switch it from left to right with ease. It would be best to check with your local retailer in case. Otherwise, my answer still remains, no it can't.

Thanks again for sharing this it is going to help me a lot with my saltist MQ as Daiwa servicing is not great in Europe. Cheers🎉

It's funny I have 5 reels for 25 years never greeced or oiled them. The only thing that stopped working is the line guide.i wish some told me how to maintain it a long time ago Thank you tackle advisor for giving me the guts to open all my old reels up

[@quinnhunsinger1603]

Can't find the comment but I asked you about a slight noise at the bottom of the spool cycle and you said it could be a bent spool shaft. You were correct I replaced the spool shaft and low and behold it was butter yet again. 6500 size and it's so easy to work on given the larger parts. Not than any reels are rocket science contrary to some KZbin reviewers who don't even open them up. Still not sure how someone can "test a reel" let's say without knowing how it works.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Hey man! I remember it. Glad it was an easy fix and everything worked out!

[@quinnhunsinger1603]

@@TackleAdvisors I used it as an anchor rod and reel off a pier for a trolley/pin rig and I'm pretty sure I bent it trying to get the 8oz anchor weight to budge.

[@Jedhaase]

Awesome video! In most videos I see, the only thing people do is just oil the roller bearing and lube the shaft. That will slightly help and make it a little smoother, but you really have to break it down and clean and grease everything. Especially the gears and bearings inside.

Thank fark... I've been looking for this info for too long! Thanks mate!

[@marcx310]

best like for your great job. With too much grease the reel will be not smooth and light as brand new, but when retrieving a fish there is no difference. It sounds weird but the best time you grease it up is the first time you unbox the reel, before getting this to the sea.

[@wrightackle1]

Really enjoyed the tutorial! My fishing buddy bought the same reel on my recommendation. After a couple of months it started binding which usually means the shaft was bent. I had one helluva time getting that shaft out. The bend was right where the shaft enters the slide. I just got lucky. Put the flat end of the shaft in a vise and prayed. It slipped right into the slide with no bind and the reel has been working ever since. I was surprised the shaft was so wimpy where everything else in the bg was overbuilt.Sure wish your tutorial was around when I took the reel apart.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Thanks Pat! Glad you liked it Man...that's an oddball place for it to bend. Especially with all the different angles of support.....But I saw the exact same thing on the penn z i tore down when i did the star s7000 review. Tried getting it out and blew out the pinion....tried torching it.....had to replace parts before I even did the review...lol Well unless youtube goes out of business...it'll be up the next time ya tear it down :) Lemme take a guess...was it a 5k size and fish the cape cod canal??

[@wrightackle1]

It was a 4000. We use it here in the gulf of mexico primarily to catch bonito [false albacore], although we do use it for mangroves when we are chumming.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Damn....I was close...lol...only 1800 miles off :) I'd be willing to bet the damage came from taking a hit. maybe in gunnel holders or storage. You guys have all the fun...Albies around here come through for about amonth and they're usually moving full steam ahead if surf casting for them. And if in a boat...generally 200 new yorkers are casting over your t top...lol

Very fine job! I love my old silver series 7000C in the surf. I’ll bet this BG is even better.

[@Belvedere3834spd]

I have several old silver series reels that I've used for DECADES, and I will say without question that even though they aren't as smooth or sophisticated as these modern reels, they will easily outlast them with proper maintenance. I've gotten rid of some of my modern reels because they've turned out to be junk. Just my experience and opinion.

[@christopherjenkins2373]

@@Belvedere3834spd I think your experience and opinion are spot on! I was talking to a friend a minute ago about fishing with our 1950s vintage large Luxor No. 3 reels. To me there have been only a very few reels built since those Luxors that even have a chance at competing with them. Just this afternoon I got a mint Mitchell 498 Super. PPUM saltwater reel you simply can’t believe. I also just finished together a beautiful Mitchell 396 from parts and put on a NOS gray spool and Mitchell high speed handle. That reel can cast better than almost any modern reel. I know I’m extremely biased but I see no need to purchase modern reels even with their extraordinary features when I know they have no chance of standing the rest of time. My negative feelings and bad experiences with modern reels started with a Quantum Cabo Saltwater Reel that I bought for a lot of money that didn’t last 5 years. This was in spite of the fact that I meticulously take care of my reels. Never again!

[@Anotherdude0]

Thanks for making this video. I'll be watching it closely tonight while I try to fix mine. Went surf fishing 3 times and now it really has issues turning. Using the Abu Garcia maintenance kit, hopefully it can help with all the salt water and corrosion.

[@andymeijer1117]

Thanks for this! After using my bg's for over a year (sweet water mostly) I managed to service them, removed most of the grease and used interflon super only on all the moving parts. The result is amazing and they spin even better then when I got them. They may not be sealed with grease as before but don't need that. Furthermore interflon is water repellant as well as far as I understood. Big thanks again as I would have never opened them up😉

Thanks brotha! HELL YEAH....I had a touch of the flu when filming it...so hopefully that has an impact on views...lol As a surf caster for decades....it's only recently we have a bunch of sealed options out there. It used to be just VS, saltiga z and the mitchell banana....NOw penn torque, Zeebass, saragosa, spheros, shield etc offer waterproofing. This method of protecting reels has been done for many years...in fact we used to fully pack the entire cavity of some reels. Hey ...did i respond to your question about the ferrofluid? The stuff i use is VSG 203a.....it's what Ferrotec recommended for my purpose. It's friggin expensive..70-100$ for 3ml. They gave me a 3ml sample. Contact Shipwreck who is a member on stripers online.com he should be able to send you some (in order to PM him you need to be a member. It's show season and he's the head daiwa rep so he's a bit bogged down. But worth the effort tracking him down.

I love lube and I go pretty hard on the lube with my BG's because I had one get FULL of salt. At the same time, I feel like so much of this grease is just gonna end up in the case, not really doing much but being it's awesome sticky self. Maybe that's the idea but as soon as those gears mesh that's a lot of grease that's squeezing out into the case. I use a product called tefgel for where the two sides of the case interact and it does well.

Hi Tackle Advisor, I purchased a Spinfisher VI 4500 on your advice a couple of years back and it has served me great. Can you do a video on how to do a full service on the same reel?

[@MrTinozx10r]

I miss your video's. I hope your doing well.

[@CoM-cf2yq]

One more tip.... since the BG doesn’t have the nice case gasket that the Penn Slammer does. You can seal the case if you run a small bead of RTV on the cover before it’s installed. You can also seal the black cap that screws on opposite the handle. Nice video just thought i would share the info.

[@TackleAdvisors]

I get that and it would work. But grease would work just as well. water getting in between the frame and sideplate and non handle cap are more often than not. Not the issue. And any gaps can be filled just as effectively with grease. And deep water dunks will get in from the ar clutch and main shaft areas anyway. Which is why it's not really worth it. For the Cabo that has an ar clutch seal and nothing else...maybe. but not the bg. Good idea though....FYI...i tried this with rtv 2 with the Gosa FA 10 years ago :)

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Just an FYI if anyone did what I did with that silly little clip that holds down the non gear side bearing. If that clip shoots off into the abyss never to be found again, and you don't want to pay to have a 50 cent piece shipped to you, you can make one that at least for me is easier to work with. I just took a piece of #5 single strand wire and made a circle slightly smaller than the piece the bearing sits over. I just use two micro screwdrivers to spread it out slightly so it fits over and into the gap. Bearing doesn't slide over the wire at all so it does the same job. To get it out just find the end of one side, push down, and the opposite side will move up. From there you're good to go. I did run the sharp ends of the circle on a piece of sand paper just so they're not sharp, but that's probably unnecessary. If you already have the tool to make loops in wire it's a 30 second process.

Question! Would it be feasable to warm the grease to near liquid and dump the nearly assembled reel into the hot liquid grease, allowing it to fill all the cavities and coat all surfaces? Alternatively, an evaporating solvent, grease it, warm it up, allow the volatiles to evaporate leaving the grease? Just because my old fingers are not so nimble, nor am I liable to see and remember all things? Dental pics are nifty. Ultrasonic cleaners allow liquids to permeate EVERYthing. Very nice little reel!

[@dangoldstein152]

the grease would separate at the required temps to get it into a liquid form and even if you did, you couldn't guaranty it would permeate into all of the necessary places. If you struggle to do the job yourself, then see if you can find a local tackle shop to assist you.

Removed the bail mechanism spring on a BG5000. Big no-no. I can't seem to place it back in 🤮 Different spring and plastic component that the reel on this video. Help me! Please.

I'm not nearly done with the Daiwa BG. Coming soon....Full simultaneous teardown and review comparing the BG to the TSUNAMI Shield, Shimano Nasci, and the Shimano Soccoro SW I have a literal ton of work cut out for me for the next few weeks 27 reels ranging from subscriber contributions to the cause...to JDM orders. From the 2016 Shimano Aldebaran bfs and Shimano Exsence and stella FI.....every brand spankin new Daiwa LT reel ranging from the Exceler LT to the Ballistic LT even gonna kick it old school with the first low profile baitcasters daiwa and shimano ever made. You can also expect some more Okuma, Abu, 13 fishing for a partial list see my most recent post here www.patreon.com/TackleAdvisors

[@RayAguilar]

Excited for the nasci. Ive seen tear-downs of it before but I’m looking forward to hearing your take on the symetre successor

[@RayAguilar]

Tackle Advisors very nice video on the bg btw

[@viper2788]

Looking forward to it!

[@mogtrader8]

Will this set that you have in the amazon list come with the needed tools for this? Wera 2035/2050 PH 00 - 01/7 Kraftform Micro Slotted/Phillips Precision Screwdriver Set been meaning to invest in a good set. i have various reels, penn, shimano, daiwa. love your channel, i wish i found it sooner.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Glad you enjoy it!! That set will cover quite a bit. Keep in mind...tons of reels now use torx bits.....ugghhh..And lot of different sizes. Additionally a size 0 with a larger handle may be helpful if you run into lock tighted screws or ones that have been corroded. As would a larger handled size 1. I use the pozidrivs for that amzn.to/2ExuHc2 Plus on shimano spool shafts you have to use a .9 mm hex (that little screw is under the spool and holds the spool support in place. Torx down to size six are common on shimano and daiwa

Would you happen to have any videos on the maintenance for Fuego series?

[@Cakeem]

What a great tutorial and your fg knot video was excellent thanks mate

[@Commentoli-Manushyan]

Pls do a video what inside the drag knob!!

[@an334]

Thanks! BG is my favorite one!

[@ferndelisle]

Looking forward to all these upcoming reel videos! Also looks like the Fuego rod on your affiliate list is down to $54 right now which is a great deal.

[@TackleAdvisors]

That's a really nice rod for the coin for sure!!!! Surprised how nice the cork is for the price too..There's some filler but not like what you get in more expensive st croix rods. You're reel is coming! Trying to figure what i want to compare it to

[@jamesbayfishing9583]

Also found a shop that caries the aqua shield here in orlando gonna pick some up in the next week to try it for my self.

[@TackleAdvisors]

I did a little googling....as I remembered seeing a picture of an avet opened up and it had some weird teal colored stringy looking grease....turns out...in a thread on Alan tani's site. Avet now uses aqua shield throughout all their reels. (I haven't been in a newer avet in awhile) even on their gearing.....so.....I may have to put my beloved corrosion x on the bench for a bit and play around more with this crap than just blocking water and packing bearings.

[@jamesbayfishing9583]

Yah I hear ya after your video i found the same thread. Must be pretty good on gears for them to use it. Thanks for introducing it to me excited to try it.

[@TackleAdvisors]

Now listen..;).I remember your teardown on the daiwa inshore reel...this stuff isn't what I would want to get on your dining room table :) By the way. How did you like that reel? Another "subscriber" Dom was asking me about it. And i don't have a need for small inshore baitcasters...so coldn't really give him any feedback other than blue tatula.....How'd it holdup this season.

[@jamesbayfishing9583]

Tackle Advisors haha that's where I film my video because it has the best lighting. A have a desk where I do all my servicing and rigging it's actually a pretty sweet setup. I don't use that reel that much anymore because I got a chronarch e7 and a zillion coastal which are both superior imo. When I used the heck out of it for a year straight the ar bearing rusted out and had to replace other than that held up really well. Sorry for the long response.

[@gleiberrabelo4496]

Very useful , very good explanation

[@rayredwine4808]

loved this man you helped me a bunch do you have one like this on a revo sx love to see it

[@troynjpoolplayer6604]

thanks for this video. after servicing BG 4000 AR clutch not working after the 1st trip. appreciate any help

[@gleiberrabelo4496]

I from Brazil , I like your videos very much and I ask you if the model bg 3500 is the same components and the service is in the same way ?

[@bigbuba16]

number 1 pet peeve is using any kind of screw driver when my hands are full of grease, i dont care what snap on says about their fancy grip, doesnt docrap when all lubes up. cheers to you haha

[@TackleAdvisors]

Damn straight! I like smooth grip screw drivers. I kliens and greenlees and other decent screw drivers....But for reels I really like the weras...I've tried a bunch....these grip shimano screws very well wihtout chowdering up the heads....and the shape fits my hand and I still can get a decent grip when all snotted up with grease. The screw driver heads on all the screwdrivers are still in mint condition after a full year.....oddly enough i like pozidrive better than philips in most instances for phillips head fishing reel screws.

[@bigbuba16]

i bought a set of weras micro set because i saw them in a video of yours, never looked back!

[@fishingGator01]

I do at least 1000 reels a year in my shop. CorrosionX grease and oil is the best BUT the grease is too thick as it comes to use in a spinning reel. I know this reel will be much harder to turn and use. With your next reel cut the grease with CorrosionX oil to thin it out.

[@NasalObstruction]

you don`t listen very well..he clearly stated that the reel will be considerable harder to turn, Packing a bearing with grease will always give you that result. The whole point of what he did was to help salt proof those bearings.

[@zachblair8773]

was there no lubricants or grease on anything prior to this video?
