Sometimes you take a chance that is purely dependent on reviews and "best of" list... they weren't wrong about the BG 3500! The smoothness, balance, and quality assembly make it my new go-to reel. Out of the box, this reel will do an empty spool retrieve just rotating your wrist while holding the reel. The Black and Gold finish is beautiful and sleek. I will buy another! Be blessed.. DG

This fishing reel has not been used yet, it is a Christmas gift. I am sure it is a good product. I have one that I like very much. This is a smooth reel to cast or retrieve.

Diawa BG 3500 Spinning reel is the best spinning reel I have ever owned. My casts have never been long. On my first cast I hooked a 5 lb catfish. I highly recommend this reel.

I read a review by a a reputable expert who takes the reels apart and evaluates manufacturer claims against the actual construction. He says it's built as well as reels costing twice as much and may be one of the best ever for the money. That was enough for me.
