Low-speed reels lend themselves towards heavy jigging for big kingfish, surf casting or tasks where pulling power comes as a priority to line retrieval. Lower speed is a good compromise and can be used for most tasks while still being comfortable and easy to use.
The easier my gear is to use the more enjoyable I find my fishing to be. So when making a decision on your next reel choice, after choosing what size you are likely to use have a look at the gear ratio next. Doing so will help make your fishing more enjoyable and efficient. Happy fishing!
I'm learning others are making new parts for my old, used reels. My wife's 2500C (salmon rig) needs the drag renewed and her 1300C might need the drag done, too. Luckily, they are not the only game in town.
Parts for the ultralights were hardest to find, but there's a guy in Missouri who sells bearings and drag washers on Ebay so I'm buying everything from him. I've never repaired reels before but I've always been a guy who likes DIY, so I will just tear into it once all my parts are in for any given reel. He has YT videos I can follow, too. Well-lit and coherent, too!!!
California native, still live here. Age 65. Mostly I fish for trout and occasionally salmon, but I'm just a beginner with salmon. Not a bass fisherman (I don't like skinning fish so I fish for species where skin removal is not required) and salmonids are the healthiest fish to eat, as long as they're not farmed. I'm a float-tube guy, too. I have a mount for my sonar (Striker4) and another mount I use on rental boats. I do a LOT of catch and release fishing and most of my lures have single, barbless hooks. Lot of work, removing and replacing all the barbed, treble hooks.
First trip this year will be the Northern California Trout Anglers Challenge (NTAC) trout derby at San Pablo Reservoir. Probably just bank fish with the old standby, nightcrawler on a #8 topped with a marshmallow to keep the bait off the bottom. I could win a BOAT!!!
If you go to a bearing/industrial supply company you can get just about any bearing you want, everything is pretty universal, with many products using the same bearings that can be bought from more than one company usually. For instance some of the ceramic bearings from a microchip processing tool just happen to fit my reels. Drag washers and parts have been kitted out for decades, used to be a company in Florida that had drag washers for just about any saltwater reel ever made.
There are a lot of oils and greases on the market for reels. Yamaha marine grease is a really good grease. You can also use super lube, Penn reel grease and Abu silicote grease. Use grease only on gears. For oil I personally I don't like motor oils, but some oil is better than no oil. I would recommend, TSI 321, Abu Oil or rocket fuel. Each has there own purpose. TSI 321 is about universal as you can get. Also remember to use Cal's or Daiwa grease for drag stacks. Do not use other greases for drag stacks, as the grease I mentioned is made for that purpose. This is just my personal opinion.
Be aware that some brands create internal parts in some reels that react with petroleum lubricants which can cause the part to break down and fail. In the shop all we are allowed to use is silicone grease and synthetic oil. There are no brands that I know of that recommend any petroleum based lubricants. So in the shop we use the same synthetic lubricants on all brands of reels.
I have enjoyed this reel more than other reels in this price range and even bought a second one because of how much I liked the first one. Here are my favorite parts about the Daiwa Fuego LT Reels I have:
I have heard of others expressing concern about that issue too. Seems as if the common theme is that they were using 20+ lb braid and had the drag pretty tight. I have my Diawa Fuego reels spooled with 10 lb drag for fishing the flats, and I have not had any issues with the flex even when battling 30+ inch snook and redfish.
I bought the Fuego LT3000 mid September and have not used it that much fishing on the coast TX I have been rinsing it with water after fishing and now am having problems jamming up. Talked to service ctr Corpus he said if I rinsed it with water it would ruin the bearings. Talked to Daiwa he said rinsing is ok but apparently there are bearings that are not magnaseal so can be damaged. I do not recommend this reel.
So this is my understanding, and it comes from Ben and I putting a bunch of reels side by side in his shop yesterday morning (I found the graphic above on the Daiwa Australia website) - the new 5000 LT size of Daiwa spinning reel seems to be about the same as their previous 3000 size, the 3000 LT size is like the previous 2500 Daiwa size, and interestingly this new 4000 LT size seems to sit right in the middle of their previous 3000 and 2500 sizes. Still with me?! These new LT reels do give us bigger spools with larger line capacities which I guess are going to be really useful for anglers overseas who chase hard-running fish on light gear, but as much as I love our own species of fish over here that we might chase with lure gear, reel-emptiers they are not! Buy some cheap say 15lb mono for your reel backing.
When I went online to nail down the exact specs and price range, I was very surprised that, even in this day of price increases, the reel was priced at only $110. In my defense, I have good reasons for overestimating what I thought this reel should cost. The Daiwa BG is a saltwater spinning reel that punches well above its price.
When the topic of the best saltwater spinning reels for $100 comes up, the BG is always in the conversation. It has a track record for being one of the best spinning reels for the money because it has a lot of premium features found on more expensive Daiwa reels. Those premium features have fancy names that sound good, like DIGIGEAR, Air Rotor, and Automatic Tournament Drag. Those features might sound promising, but do they actually do anything? Here are my findings after five years of fishing the Daiwa BG 2500.
The BG would benefit from a larger handle knob on the reel. My Daiwa BG is now equipped with a power handle and a 39MM EVA knob from Tackle World. This transforms the reel to another level when fighting a big fish, but significantly increases the total cost of the reel for the consumer. It would cost very little for the manufacturer to equip the reel with a larger knob to start.
