Brett's_daddy Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Has anyone heard about these (other than from REEL TEST on Youtube)? They are a Shimano SLX only instead of the centrifugal pin style braking system they have a dial adjust on the side with the SVS Infinity brakes. I searched and you can find them on eBay for $120 shipped from Osaka, Japan. I mean for $20 more than the original SLX do you think the SVS braking system is that much of an upgrade over the centrifugal style? Quote
johnD. Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I think it has a bearing supported main shaft as well. 4+1 instead of 3+1. Seems like a deal imo. Quote

I don't care for the weird circle on the side around the brake dial but it is a good looking reel otherwise. They probably should have dropped the SLX markings and blue accents and called it Citica as a replacement for the Ctica 200i. I was expecting the Citica replacement to be based off the SLX. I wonder if this means a new Citica will be Curado K based or if they will remove the Citica entirely. One would think they would replace the citica with a x-ship reel , if they were gonna continue to offer a citica. Quote

newyorktoiowa57 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I feel like this would render the 70 obsolete. Quote
