Hemmed & Hawed for a couple weeks on ordering these 2 reels, sight unseen & un-tried.

From what I've seen & read online, these 2 reels are top notch Shimano products!

Soooo, now it's sit & wait till I get a call from Cabelas to pick up the Citica 201 & for BPS to ship out the Curado E7 201 (7.1:1).

My Shimano Chronarch CH51 & Curado 101D will have new neighbors on the shelf!

I just wish I was able to buy both these reels from ***.com instead of the 2 mentioned. Shipping & tax would have been free from TW, but I have gift cards from both mentioned that I used. Just really HATE when big retail stores like BPS & Cabelas RIP you hard for shipping fees & include a handling charge. I wouldn't have mind waiting for the reels to show up & not to have to pay any extra charges to get the product to me.

I'm hearing that these reels will be available by early October....I could wait that long.....I got other reels to use.....why am I so "antsy" getting new baitcast reels?????

Im on the waiting list for the citica.  I'm dying seeing all these pics and seeing the reels pop up on ebay.

I am waiting for the 201 Citica and Curado as well.

Sigh,

You guys have got to get out of that got to buy it now because it's new mentality.

I get my citica this thursday!
