Spotlight on the Middle Child, the Shimano Citica G



Introduction: When it comes to sheer mindshare there is perhaps no mainstream reel series that is better known than the Shimano Curado. This instantly recognizable green reel series has undergone changes over the years and yet it continues to be among the most popular in the segment. While the Curado no doubt still garners the lion’s share of attention there is another reel that is looking to step out of the Curado’s shadow, meet the middle child, the Citica G. The Citica G is sandwiched between the Curado and Caenan reels and was redone at the same time as the Curado G and bears the same exact profile and competes at the highly contested 129 dollar price point. We take a closer look at this aggressively priced reel to see whether or not it has what it takes to survive in the spotlight.

I have used this reel and I consider the review to be fair, balanced, and accurate.

That was a good review, glad to see it get a good grade. But with curados going for $130, im not sure why someone would choose the citica over the curado when the price difference is only $20-30.
