Ballpark Frank Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I now have to admit that I should have listened to some of you guys, and got a Shimano BC sooner. I love this Citica. I mounted in on my BCR803 Mossy and spooled it with Big Game 15#. This afternoon on my way home I took it out for a little bank fishing and had a sure fire ***. I was not planning on really serious fishing, just familiarizing myself with the reel. I tied on a Zoom Super Fluke and set the brakes and cast knob my normal way. In my first four casts, I caught and landed three decent Largemouths(around 2 to 3 #s). If that ain't a good sign for new gear, I don't know what is. Quote
skillet Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Haven't heard anything but good from anyone that bought one ... As Ever, skillet Quote
Numpty Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I was using mine today...casting a 3/8 oz Jig into a stiff head wind..... It didn't backlash once...attributed to the reel not my ability If I could find another LH around here I would pick it up in a minute Quote
21farms Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 add me to the club. i have 17 baitcasting reels i've bought new just in the last 10 months and my citica 100DSV is tied for my favorite, even over other reels i have costing much more. Quote

I loved my Citica so much that I sold the REVO S after fishing with it once and bought two more Citicas. They rock. 8-) Quote
BrockSamson Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I got the 100DSV and 200DPV both paired to Loomis rods. The 100DSV is simply incredible. Quote
