Ballpark Frank Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Now that I have fallen in love with my Shimanos, I am thinking about another Citica. I am considering the 100 size for my G.Loomis CR723 and was wondering about the size difference between the 100 and 200. Any picture of the Citica 100 side by side the 200 would be appreciated(or Curados). Thanks Oh yeah, any Quantum fans, keep an eye on the Classifieds. Several of my Quantums will appear. Quote
BrockSamson Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I think with the lightweight Loomis rod, the 100 is your better bet. I have both 100 and 200 paired up with Loomis rods and the balance and overall feel of the 100 is great. Quote
FR0G Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I had two 200s and now I have a 100, but I got to say. The 100 is more comfortable in my hands. You can grip it better, and it is lighter. I would say get the 100. There is quite a bit of size difference. I sold my 200s, so I can't post a comparison pic, sorry. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks for the advice, guys. I stopped by Gander this morning and compared the 2 sizes. I like the 200 better. The 100 being alot smaller was my concern, I like a larger reel than most, due to some physical issues and big hands. Ended up going to my local shop and got another 200D Citica and a Cruxis. That makes five Shimanos, and they are on my main rods. The Possee has won me over to their side. Quote
BrockSamson Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I only have moderate sized hands so that is why I like the 100 better. I could see someone with big hands favoring the 200. Quote
FR0G Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I think my hands are considered big, and I like the 100 better, but I guess its all about personal preference. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 23, 2008 Super User Posted May 23, 2008 Wow, the 200 is soooooooooooooo huge! :-X Quote
daviscw Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Hahahaha from that last angle its pretty hard to tell. Quote
