The rest of my life!

yep, got 2. I like em.

I'd buy one for 20 bucks it the handle wasn't on the wrong side.

ahhhh, ok I see that now. Guess it was too good to be true for a Cit 1. Still a good price for brand new old model!

No but I might try it now....

You can get the Citica here for 75 bucks http://www.westmarine.com/buy/shimano--citica-baitcasting-reels--P013507157 I'd normally go with Lew's but I'd be tempted to get the Citica for this price.

True but I don't think there's any 30lb braid out there with a diameter bigger than any 12lb mono. It's just weird to me on how they come up with these numbers....

Ok, that would be "Reel *Line* Capacity! Sorry for the typo.

Check out the specs on this reel: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_144078246358612&key=83df4a0912f2a79b86a621d745e0b7fd&libId=idvwofu101002axf000DA33siz527&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chicagolandfishing.com%2Fforums%2F35-general-outdoors-discussion%2F96218-reel-line-capacity.html&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.basspro.com%2FAbu-Garcia-Revo-STX-Baitcast-Reel%2Fproduct%2F1207130446085%2F%3Fcm_ven%3Dbazaarvoice%26cm_cat%3DQA_PQRDR%26cm_pla%3D1207130446085%26cm_ite%3Dredirect_link&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chicagolandfishing.com%2Fforums%2F35-general-outdoors-discussion%2F&title=Reel%20Line%20Capacity%20-%20Chicago%20Illinois%20Fishing%20Forum%2C%20Information%20%26%20Reports&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.viglink.com%2Fapi%2Fclick%3Fformat%3Dgo%26amp%3Bjsonp%3Dvglnk_144078246358011%26amp%3Bkey%3D83df4a0912f2a79b86a621d745e0b7fd%26amp%3BlibId... Line Capacity: 12/145 (which they're referring to mono). Braid Capacity: 30/140 What?? Last time I checked, 30lb braid has the diameter of 8 pound mono...but the reel hold *less* of that than mono?? What am I not getting here????
