The Daiwa BG60 was intended for use in both saltwater and freshwater. Both the inside and outside of this reel is designed to be a power performer, with a guarantee that you won’t be let down.
This reel has great interior mechanics. The Teflon and stainless steel washers inside the drag prevent metal on metal rubbing, so that tightening and loosening the drag is completely trouble-free. The main shaft of the Daiwa BG60 is made of very sturdy stainless steel and has exceptionally precise gearing to make working this reel simple. There are three ball bearings that are coated with a special coating that prevents water and debris from deteriorating the bearing; allowing your reel to function properly up to 12 times longer.
The external aspects of the Daiwa Black Gold Spinning Reel Series are just as remarkable as the insides. The ultra strong, rigid metal frame supports the drive train to insure it stays perfectly inline, even when under the stress of a large game fish. The silent left/right receiver comes equipped with a oversized foldable wooden handle that is extremely easy to grip. There is an anti-corrosive hard anodized finish to withstand all the elements.
