Thanks for all the feedback. I'm leaning towards the citica but the green curados are considered such a reliable reel. It sounds like I'll be happy with either.

My wrist hurts after throwing frogs or another high-speed search bait for a long time. I...

I love this one in the watermelon/red flake.

I've had a lot of success drop shotting from shore this spring. I pitch it with a 1/8 oz weight and a joe's jig trailers' Shakit worm.
