Top Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I stopped by the Savannah BPS tonight and I have the HONOR of being the first person there to purchase the NEW 200E7 from there SO here is my first impression.... WOW... WOW... and more WOW... it casts like a dream... fits in my palm amazingly... I just cast out on the cul-de-sac but tomorrow if the weather holds out I plan on properly trying it out... the comparison between the old 200 and the new 200 is STARK... I like this reel more than my MG... it feels just as nice and costs almost 100 bucks less... I hope this help some of y'all make your mind up.. this is a huge winner IMHO and on my new Falcon rods... fogitaboutit.. I haven't been this stoked about a new "toy" in a VERY long time... AL Quote
Super User Micro Posted September 5, 2008 Super User Posted September 5, 2008 Great photos. Looks like a nice reel. If it beats the 200D, it must be a very good reel, indeed. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted September 5, 2008 Super User Posted September 5, 2008 NICE!! I like'em! Glad Shimano finally got it right.....again. Quote
Big Tom Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Thats a nice collection you got there. Just goes to show what kind of impact the Revos actually had. These are awesome looking reels. Quote
Top Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 I am a terrible tackle junkie... that is just what I pulled out for comparison... I actually have 2 100Ds, 3 200Ds, 1 MG50, 2 Citicas, and now one of the Es. I plan on getting two more of the 200Es also Quote

I am in line for the new Citica 200E and am very excited. Quote
Top Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 actually I have some neighbors that are wanting me to take them out and teach them how to use a baitcaster... so the Citicas and the 200s will be used for instruction purposes... the 100s and the MG are still going to be active in my arsenal... they are still awesome reels... the 200s are fine reels. I just like the compactness of the 100 size and the new Es Quote
Jare Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Very nice pictures. It's more smooth than the MG or they are similar? And could you tell me your opinion about the durability comparing it with the mg, please? Quote
Top Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 I would venture to say the smoothness is inline with the MG... as far as durability... I just got it yesterday... but the "feel" is about the same as a 100 or MG is... if that makes any sense... AL Quote
