Daiwa 2026 BG SW 8000 Spinning Reel (BGSW8000-H)

Meet the Daiwa 2026 BG SW 8000 Spinning Reel, featuring an aluminum body, a machined aluminum handle, and Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD). With a 5.7:1 gear ratio, 44.8 inches of line retrieved per crank, and up to 33.1 lb of drag, it puts key performance features into a 24 oz reel.

Smooth drag from the hook-up

Daiwa's ATD system uses improved drag grease and structural refinements to reduce initial drag start-up inertia, helping the drag engage smoothly when a fish takes line.
