I had terrible problems with the Fluorclear breaking on hooksets. I finally swore it off. I have been using Berkley Vanish 10, 12, and 14 pound test and have no issues with break off and seems to have no stretch and great sensitivity for the money. I prefer Gamma but if you are trying not to pay as much as the Gamma costs, then I would highly recommend the Vanish for a less expensive line.

For under $100 I would buy a St.Croix Mojo Medium fast rod "MBC70MF / Plastics A great rod for fishing soft plastics including Senko®-style baits. Ideal for tubes, grubs, small worms, light jigs, small spinnerbaits and buzzbaits." It is lacking in power a little bit for power fishing but you will be able to throw a variety of lures and use different techniques from small baits to large. They cost $89.00 and are available at most all major retailers. I have one of their 6'8" MHXF spinning rods and I use it for nearly all my spinning applications. I have caught fish with everything from a small 1/4" crankbait to a 1/2 oz jig skipped under docks. I know you are looking for a casting rod for your citica and I have only used the spinning rod, but the MBC70MF would be the closest comparable rod they have in casting. I would highly recommend their line of Mojo Bass rods.
