Daiwa - BG4000 BG Saltwater Spinning Reel
Behold the new standard in spinning reels, DAIWA's brilliantly-designed Tatula MQ LT. The new Tatula MQ LT embodies a rich features set, which starts with its one-piece MONOCOQUE ZAION V body. This design framework yields more space for larger gears, thus promoting increased torque and power from the get-go.

Daiwa Tatula MQ LT Spinning Reel
MONOCOQUE (MQ) MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require a body cover, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.

Daiwa's New Saltist MQ Spinning Reels are Packed with Dynamite
The new Saltist series is a great entry level rod series for guys fishing in SoCal, offering the right lengths and line classes to go for the vast majority of species and fishing styles. These will be hard to beat when paired with a good budget reel like the Daiwa Saltist, Penn Fathom or Okuma Cavalla for the conventional models. I’d recommend the Daiwa BG MQ and Okuma Cedros series for the spinning given all of the extra features.

Real-world difference between Daiwa BG and Saltist? : r
The Daiwa Saltist MQ is a favorite for saltwater anglers because of its durable and dependable power. The latest redesign features Daiwa's newest cutting-edge technology providing the angler with more power and even more durability. Featuring a Monocoque (MQ) one-piece body, a compact frame that eliminates added screws allowing for a more weather-resistant housing while saving weight. With this frame, a larger diameter drive gear can be installed.
