ragincajunbasss Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 hi guys i am going to buy 3 curado 100's or citica 100's to bass fish with this season and i want to know if the curado is worth 100 bucks more than the citica or if they are about the same and also will these small reels hold up Quote
Super User .RM. Posted December 31, 2007 Super User Posted December 31, 2007 They both are fine reels, depending on your budget you will not go wrong with either.... Tight Lines!!! Quote
Chad. Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I'd say since your buying three just but 2 citicas and 1 curado Quote
cootertom Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Purchased three Curado 100's from Simmons Sporting Goods on Ebay for $149 each plus shipping of $12 total. Then there is a $50 rebate for each reel. Fished with them first time today and they are smooth. Quote
Anglin Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I've fished with both reels and i would definitely go with the curado 100 over the citica. The curados feel much smoother and in my opinion sturdier than the citicas. Quote
M_Fields. Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I have both and if you have the money get the Curado and if you are tight on the funds go with the Citica's. M_Fields Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 1, 2008 Super User Posted January 1, 2008 With the $50 rebate, go with the Curados. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 1, 2008 Super User Posted January 1, 2008 Welcome aboard! Both are fine reels at each pricing point. This is the best deal I have seen: http://www.deloscustomtackleshack.com/reels/shimanocurado.html Good luck! 8-) Quote
Super User flechero Posted January 1, 2008 Super User Posted January 1, 2008 If you are buying the 100 size, I'd get the Citica. That was the recommendation of a Shimano employee when I asked the same question you did. He said if he was buying the 100's he would go with the Citica since there is VERY little difference, certainly not, in his opinion, worth the price difference. Quote
RWHusker. Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I fish with both. The curados are in my hand most of the time. If budget is an issue you wont be unhappy with a citica. If not buy the curado. Rod Quote
shimanogloomis man Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 At delocustomtackleshack u could get the citicas for 70.00 each after shimano rebate. For that price u cant beat the citica ;D Quote
Cajun1977 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 i think you can get the rebate everywhere not just delos Quote
Cory20 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Delos is throwing in an extra 20$ and then there is the shimano rebate. I wish they made a lefty citica 100. Would have gobbled them up from delos... Quote
JigNBig Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Citicas were made to fill in for the old curado after they redid them and bumped them up to $199. I think if you take care of them, the Citicas will save you some money for rods to put them on. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 2, 2008 Super User Posted January 2, 2008 Delo's WAS offering an extra $20 off. That offer ended at 11:59PM 12/31. I spent 3 hours last night debating on whether or not to order two Curados. I opted not to... :'( Quote
JigNBig Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Well Burley, if too is out the question...at least get one!!! Best deal of the year and you passed up on one or too. I guess the baitmonkey was with me last night. Quote
