Daiwa BG 6500 Saltwater Spinning Reel – Black & Gold Series
The Daiwa BG 6500 (UPC: 043178927755) is a legendary workhorse in the saltwater angling world, renowned for its "indestructible" reputation and incredible value. The BG (Black & Gold) series is built around a HardBodyz aluminum housing and side cover, providing a rigid foundation that prevents gear displacement even under the extreme pressure of heavy offshore pelagics. This 6500 size is the ideal "heavy-hitter" for surf fishing, nearshore reef work, or offshore jigging for large Amberjack, Tarpon, and Shark.
At the heart of the reel is Daiwa’s oversized Digigear™ System, which features larger gear teeth and more surface contact than the competition, resulting in smoother rotation and significantly more torque. The BG 6500 is equipped with a Carbon ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) system that is waterproof and remains silk-smooth from the first run to the end of the fight, capable of a staggering 33 lbs of max drag. To ensure long-term durability in harsh salt environments, the reel utilizes an Air Rotor design that is 15% lighter than standard rotors and a screw-in handle that eliminates play between the gears and the handle arm. For the angler who demands high-end performance without the "boutique" price tag, the BG 6500 remains the industry benchmark in 2026.
Includes: Daiwa BG 6500 Spinning Reel, Manual, and Spool Adjustment Washers.
