Citica 200E (NIB old stock price)

[Big-Bass]

I was at a local tackle shop that has a few Citica E reels left as new old stock items.  They are on sale but what is considered a good price to pick these reels up for?  Are they worth the purchase?

[lakeannaangler]

Probably around $100 or a little more

Eighty bucks.  At 119.99 new and taking a third off, that's close.

These sell used on eBay in good condition for $60-80.  Does this place have any left handed Citicas and do they ship?  

[Basswhippa]

Those reels are in demand and quite a few people believe they are the best value ever under $150 MSRP.

Awesome reel.  What are they asking for them?  I'd pay $100 for a new one.

I'd say right now they are worth around 80 or 90 bucks new. I bought a very lightly used lefty a while back for 60 bucks and like it not as good as my chronarch es but for the price it is a very solid reel...

Well that is a rare find. New they were $119. Tackle Tour did a review of the reel if you are wanting more info on them. If they are on sale I am guessing $100 or so? I would buy as many as you want for that price. I have one that I still use for reaction baits and love it. I paid $75 for mine in lightly used condition.

The Citica E is a fantastic reel.  Do you want them for resale or to use?  You might get $90 if you try to sell them, probably not much more.

[Big-Bass]

I am gonna use them...bought two already on sale and may buy two more tomorrow if they are available.  Selling would only be an option if only if I felt needed in the future.

Drop a bearing in the driveshaft and you have a reel that is comparable to the Chronarch E.   The spool is heavier.  Won't cast light lures as far as the Chronarch spool.  Will cast heavier lures further.   I have 6 of those.  Sweet reels.

I bought my two the other day and bought two more today.  The store now has no more.  But now I have buyers remorse since I bought four altogether.  I listed two in the swap forum since I don't think I need four but whatever...if someone is looking for one or two of these reels, I have them NIB and still have some for me.
