Curado

That's not rude at all. Right now is the best time to buy a new one off ebay. A lot of ebay sellers bought up every reel they could find when they were discounted. The are now for sale on ebay. Finding one at a retail store will be difficult. There are some out there but not many. If you do find something in a store it will likely be a lefty.

Ebay is not just for used stuff. I have bought Lew's BB1N new in the box on there. They are costly but if you want it bad enough you'll pay for it.

I was looking for a few at Walmart, but they were out. HOWEVER, they had a few bantam citica 200s left marked down, WAY DOWN. What's the story with the citica 200s? I have a curado 200 BSF that is my baby. would a citica be comparable to the curado?

Hey Nate. I have a Citica that is about 10 yrs old. It's been a pretty solid reel for me over the yrs. I've not really fished it hard but it's done well the times I've used it.

Let's hook up and fish a time or 2 this year. Hope you and your family are well.

smljaw,

The new citicas are the same as the old curados, if I read the press release correctly.

The old citicas were one step below a curado, for $89 at WalMart. I have several. Some are over 11 years old, and have had no service what so ever. I am very satisfied with the old style citicas. I think I'll check out our wal mart and see if they are marked down here as well.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

The new citica's replace the old curados but at the same time they are better than the old curados
The new version(citica) has the low mass drilled spool,super free pinion gear, HEG gearing
However the best deal going may be the cruxis which replaces the citica its basiclly the same reel as the citica(super free,heg,low mass spool etc...) with one less bearing for 99.99 probably what wally world will carry

I'll look into it for sure but I think the Citica came out with a new model this year. So Wal-mart is probably clearancing out the old model to bring in the new. It is definately a good reel though.
