YAY! ;D my new reel came in today. i mounted it on my berkley lightnin rod Ken Cook professional series M action 6'6" rod. cant wait to try this baby out!!!!!

GREAT looking reel, I'm sure you're really going to like fishing with your new rig.

Good luck!

Nice looking set-up Dave. I'm sure you'll like the Citica alot more than the Browning.

Now go out and catch some fish.

ENJOY IT, nothing like getting to fish with equipment you really like 8-)

are you gonna leave it on that rod or are you scopin out a new one??

Enjoy the new rig and hope you talk your Dad into some fishin time this weekend!

LAB i really like my old lightnin rod, but im broke now that i bought that reel. if i ever get the money, i might get a new rod...but i dont think i would cuz i'd be getting a new rod equivallent to the lightning rod anyways.

riskkid, i sure hope so too!

Congratulations bud - beautiful reel!

Congrats on the new reel! There is only one thing wrong with it that I see with the reel in the pic...

The handle is on the "wrong" side for me.  ;D

let us know how it performs for you.  

Congrats and good luck

well guys, i put some 50lb power pro line on it, and thats stuff isnt bad at all. it stays round, and so far i have seen no wear and tear on my rod tip or line guide on the reel. anyway, i finally got a chance to cast it in my yard w/ a plug. it casts so nicely. i can set the breakes so only 2 out of six are on, and i dont even have to thumb the spool and still not get backlash!!! i decided to try and turn one more off, so only one out of six brakes were on, well...i got a minor backlash, but the cast went a looong way. i think i'll stick w/ 2 for a while, and once i get better i may just use 1.
