Or the Lews Tournament Speed Spool at 129.. I am just trying to check all options.. but I am a big time lews fan!

Yup and the Lew's Tournament MG Speed Spool is also a really good choice I own 2 and I have to say it is one of the best reels I've ever used. I got the reel last year during Gander Mountain's labor day sale for $100.

How are the mag brakes? iv heard people complain bout reels having mag brakes and them being bad

Never heard of anything bad about the magnetic brakes, and most of my reels are magnetic brakes and I have never had an issue.

He citicag6 is 99.97 at dicks. Anything with a .97 or. 93 is 50% off. FYI veritas rods are 89.97 at dicks too....making them 45$.

You guys in PA and Iowa are lucky. MI Dick's don't carry Citicas and the Veritas are still full price. =/

Could very well be a regional thing. I work there thats how I always know a few days before, but it generally goes within much larger regions, ie; northeast, southeast, midwest etc.

I just went there intending on getting a citica due to that price is just too good to pass up. everywhere within a 90 mile driving distance is sold out. reel grips were 1.48 for a set after the 50% off and LC sammys and pointer 100s in chart sexy shad and american shad were 13.97 + 50% off for total of less than 7$  . i finally got there before they were sold out. lots and lots of stuff on sale right now along with buy 1 bag of plastics get 1 50% off.

He citicag6 is 99.97 at dicks. Anything with a .97 or. 93 is 50% off. FYI veritas rods are 89.97 at dicks too....making them 45$.

I am going to dicks tomorrow and I dont think they are having these sales... if not would you guys mind buying me stuff up there.... hmm i wonder how much shipping would be..
