Daiwa BG MQ Spinning Reels blends the durability of the BG with the latest fishing technology from Daiwa. The BG MQ features the same body technology found it Daiwa's top of the line inshore and offshore spinning reels. The monocoque aluminum design is extremely efficient allowing for a taller and thicker gear set than other reels in the category. This is a huge advantage for power and durability. The BG MQ is also sealed with gaskets and o-rings to keep water, salt and grit on the outside of the reel. Daiwa put such a powerful drag system that even the 2500 size puts out 22 lbs of drag. That is crazy! The larger sizes go up to a whopping 44.1 lbs of fish stopping power! Tuna and other pelagics better watch out! If you enjoy fishing the current BG or even the Saltist, you're going to love the Daiwa BG MQ Spinning Reels!
