Abu Garcia STX - doesn't get water in it and the magnetic brakes are awesome.

Shimao all the way

I have tried the top in reels from Diawa, Abu, Shimano. I currently use two Chronarchs, one Core and one 50Mg. The Core and Mg are my favorites in the bays and the Chronarchs for the surf and jetties. I use the 12lb Sufix Elite mono on all of them. I catch the bottom to often to use braid...........................

have used curados for many years.

I just got a shimano citica and its the best reel i have ever had or used. what is your opinion on shimano reels.

curado and chronach.

[reeltime]

I have used Shimanos for years and own 35 chronarch 100 superfrees, 9 Calis,2 core mgs, and 10 chronarch 100 and a few of the very old bamtam's.if you like the citica i would suggest a core or suck it up and get a calis.you won't throw anything else.

rick can throw a country mile with that calis.......its above my pay grade

I have 2 Core's, 2 Curado's, 2 Citica's

Citica's will send it and bring 'em back!!

[Charlie's Custom Rods]

I don't think the Citica is their 'Very Best" reel but it is a great value. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

I fish with the older Citica 100's. It replcaced the bearings with ARB bearings and super tuned the reel and it extended the cast an extra 15'.

As far as casting the only difference I can tell between my Citica and my mg is weight.

[TTU Wader]

I love all my shimanos, 50mg is by far my favorite. I've never had to go to another brand because of how well they hold up in salt. Daiwa would definately be my second choice.
