They’re both really nice. But the Saltist MQ beats them out. In cold cold weather I’d go BGMQ cause the saltist handle gets ice cold

I would rather have more line to play with than worry about drag ,It may be important for the novice anglers but an experienced angler will know how to play a fish .

That's fine in open water, but if your pitching live bait to snook in mangroves or redfish around oyster bars, that drag comes into play. Novice or not. I've been fishing for over 30 years, but I guess I'm a novice. I still haven't learned how to "play" a 40" snook out of a tangle of mangrove roots.

They are two different form sizes. The 2500 mq is the size of if there was 1000 or 500 size bg. How can you even compare the two on any thing. It should be a bg 2500 vs a 3500 or 4k mq

I trust my old BG5000 and the second generation BG4500 twin stopper.. They're so robust. It survived Thailand monster 100 + kg stingray.( There are more bigger ones...) So, it's good for me ! It's not expensive. BG are legendary !

I enjoy them both and each is incredibly smooth compared to my Penn Battles… I, II and III. But having those extra seals and added torque are a luxurious advantage on the MQ. And I was so impressed, I followed up my purchase with the Certate LT 4000 for my Black Pelican custom rod. Targeting tarpon this week here in Melbourne, FL.

@ianlindsay9967
2 жыл бұрын
Why do reviewers always insist higher gear ratio is better? Lower ratio equals more power, and often means a more comfortable retrieve speed. It’s easy enough to turn the handle faster but a pain to turn extra slow! For sneaking lures through kelp I find about 4.8:1 to be perfect whereas with a 6.2:1 reel it’s near impossible to get into a comfortable rhythm.

It was difficult to bring in the line with either 4 or 5 oz Spro with a glass mino teaser. It’s seems like there maybe an issue with the reel. I also purchased a BQ 3500

I have a BG 4000 purchased a months ago, been out fishing twice and broken the bail trip mechanism simply trying to reel in after a cast. I spent a lot of time assessing whether I should try this reel and am not pleased. Is the MQ improved where it gets used constantly or does it have the same cast junk metal used as the BG? Oh by the way, all freshwater fishing only so far.

If you want fitness definitely don't go with penn and also the bg is kinda a heavy chunky real too for medium to heavy work. For finesse look at the daiwa fuego or a shimano stradic, can't beat shimano for smoothness, these bgs and penns are more of daily beaters the mq is half and half, daily use with more lightweight

To be honest they are not that much of a difference in terms of perfomance between the 2. The only main different is the "Black Gold" 2016 does not require any "special tool" to open up the reel like the "Big Game monocoque" does. Moreover, for the MQ it is not only gonna cost more for the reel itself but also cost more to buy the "special tool" as well. something to consider for anglers who want to do their own maintenance. I mean i wished they have different material for the main gear like brass or stainless steel rather the same material as 2016 BG. that would be a huge different.

Most right handed people would have the handle on the left, so most dextrous index finger can hold the line when casting. Things are different with conventional reels. Try both sides and works for you.

I just bought a 4000 which has the same drag, and I am considering using it for striper in New England, but I don't know what max size fish it can handle. I already have a penn slammer 6500 HS and a 4500 Daiwa bg, but the Penn is on the bigger side for the cape cod canal and in my opinion not needed. I can do the job with less but I don't know if the 4000 bg mq is too little.

Or, should I buy the Daiwa Tutula Elite spinning reel? Both reels are priced the same. I happen to like how the BG MQ looks.
