Is the side plate (or other parts) of the Shimano Citica made of plastic?  Their web page says "aluminum frame", but nothing about the side plates.  It feels like plastic to me.

    The Citica is a very dependable reel!   Just make sure that you don't accidently spray carb & choke cleaner on the sideplate.  the graphite compostite melts if it gets sprayed by this stuff.
