i was just at fisherman's warehouse here in sacramento and saw they had the new citica E's in stock. from some of the initial photos i had seen, i thought it would be pearlescent white in color but it's actually much closer to silver to my eye. regardless, it felt awesome. i'm still waiting for mine to arrive from BPS (i was "forced" to order mine from them since someone gave me a BPS giftcard).

well they aren't here yet  >

I get mine on thursday (and a Powell 702CEF). I'll post some pictures. There is actual pictures of this reel on the classifieds section of this forum (I believe Burley is selling his).

yeah i know.  I would just rather buy a reel from a store in my hometown.  That way if I have any problems and can go to them for answers.

Too bad the 201Es aren't available yet.
