Comments: i bought the citica about 2 weeks ago and i already caught a 9 pound bass and a 11 pound bass it brings them in just fine. I havent had a problem with it yet and i just think it is a great reel

From: Clay: US

Comments: I own a citica e and love it so i bought another citica g. My new G wouldn't cast without backlashing and when i opened the sideplate the ring that is supposed to cause friction for the magnetic brake was loose which caused the brake not to work and it made alot of noise. I got it fixed and i may have just got a bad reel because it is very smooth and works good now but i should not have had to fix it in the first place i expect more from shimano.

Comments: I bought two of these a few weeks back, and love them both. May be ordering the 5.5.1 for cranking.

From: Marshall, Kingston, TN

Comments: my first shimano and by far the best reel i have used so far, this reel convinced me to buy a curado , coravalus , try a shimano ! you wont regret it just try and get  the E series if you can the G is crap

From: Ricky: Orange, CA

Comments: So far the reel feels good just havent got a decent rod for it yet. Got my eyes on the clarus crankbait rod though.  This reel is smooth and have a lot of free spool

From: Ricky: CA

Comments: the reel seemed smooth but I went ahead and got the curado I couldn't save thirty dollars when I saw the promotion and it would b the same price so I stuck with what I got. I would get one if it wasn't for the promotion there is just one or two less bearings which if u get it set right you can't tell as bad with out the fewer bearings.

Comments: i have a shiz load of tackle and reels and shimanos,i dunno why but i always liked the feel and performance of the citicas.they dont break the bank and they are built to last.a great buy for a beginner or weekend angler.

From: Steveo: USA

Comments: This is my first shimano baitcast reel and wow I was amaze at how good it threw my weightless lures. I have always been a Abu Garcia guy. I might buy more Shimano.

From: Nhia: Little Canada, MN

Comments: Just got this for my first casting reel, and man, I'm very impressed! It's so smooth and I can cast light lures far. This thing does not feel cheap at all. I've always heard and read about Shimano's build quality and performance, and now I know why. I can't wait to either pick up a few more of these or even try the new Chronarchs. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.

From: Sebbe: LA, CA

Comments: right out of the box it felt good but in a way cheap... the the button was sorta hard to press. its is an overall good real and worth the money but i think you should go to the curado... much better reel

From: Micah: Bartow, FL

Comments: I have fished with Shimano reels ever since the old faithfull Curado B green series.  My favorite series were the D series of citicas and curados.  I have found a new favorite.  I love the Citica 200G.  I like it better than the E series.  I know many Shimano faithfull are upset with the new changes but this Citica is a great reel.  It is light and casts great.  It doesn't feel cheap at all and I promise you when you by Shimano it will last forever. 

From: Jeremy: Duncan, OK

Comments: Just got my citica in the mail and right out of the box it cast a 3/8th ounce bait like it was nothing. So smooth and sleek I love it and I can't think of another reel as good for the price. Shimano rules!

From: John: Durham, NC

Comments: Just got mine in the mail and I'm not sure if I want to keep it or not.  It feels a little on the cheap side compared to older Shimanos, I think the side plates are plastic.  But I wont know how good of a reel it is until spring because my season is over in Chicago.

From: Tony: Chicago, IL

Comments: I got this reel at the fishermans warehouse in sacramento and it cast like a dream.  There are only two plastic peices on this reel the drag set thing and the brakes inside.  once you get it tuned in you can cast a 1/4 ounce lure.  I have it paired up with the new clarus and the reel seat perfectly fits the citica.
