Ok, I am newish to baitcasters, ive gotten it down pretty good, so I am gonna buy a new reel around 100-120$ range!

I am looking at 4 options here. I also want to string braid on it!

Ill be matching this to a 7' m fast action shiamano clarus casting rod!

I would go with the citica! I was just in the market for one in the same price range and found the citica is the best for the money. I can't wait for mine to get here!  ;D

I would definitaly get the Citica!

Double check your rod specs and match them up with the reel of your choice's specs to make sure they balance.

If I had a choice, I would go with the Shimano.

But I am a Shimano guy.

Just check out the rod's and reel's specs to make sure they match; sleep on your decision; and when you wake up you will have your answer.

if you are still confused, write the name of each reel on a piece of paper and throw them down the stairs. The one that goes the farthest is the winner.  ;D

All my spinning rod/reels are shimano, but I picked up the abu 2day and it felt great, just didnt cast with it. The gander mnt one is a nice feeling reel to. I wish they all had line on them with a rod and I could just cast them.

I love the citica reels, great reel at $120. Just got my second E yesterday.

If you have a Dick's Sporting Goods nearby, you might check them out. I got a 2008 model Quantum Energy PTi baitcaster NIB for $89 on clearance a couple weeks ago. They had quite a few other good clearance reels when I was there...

I have cabelas 30 min

dicks 10 min

gander 10 min

bass pro 15 min

I have a lot of options for fishing gear lol, I am not familiar with quantum reels although my friend loves his accurist for flippin other than that he uses phlueger (sp?)

Throw in an extra $20 and get a Pflueger President. I think Pfleuger offers a great value to performance reels. Check eBay you can get NIB reels for good prices you just have to shop and always check the sellers ratings.

Out of the four you mentioned I have the Citica and the Revo S and would recommend the Citica.

Citica

8-)

I'd go with the Citica also.  Great reels!!!!

Use the analytical eeny, meeny, miny, mo method.  

I would choose the Citica but I'm a slightly biased Shimano guy.

Of the ones listed I would say either the citica or revo....the kvd reel is pretty much a Quantum Code and it's ok but not for 100.

Outside of the suggestions I would take a look at the president and the BPS Pro Qualifier

In order: #2 or #1.  #3 and #4 are not an option.

Next week bps will have the johnny morris elite on sale from 179.00 down to 129.99 I held it 2day and it felt good, has magnetic and centrifugal brake. I might just get that!

I have heard nothing but good things about the Citica, and am actually thinking about picking one up myself. I bought my first revo 3 years ago, and now have 5. 1 Revo S, 3 Revo SX, 1 Revo Stx. They are solid built reels, and great drag on 'em. It's up to you. See if they will let you put it on a rod and check out the balance, and the feel. Maybe that will help you decide.

citica. I have 2 getting another in a week or so.

Without doubt - citica 200e ~ $105 TYD online

Can you throw brain on a citica?

Without a doubt I would go with a Revo S!

I ment braid on my last post, and My options have have opened up, with a lil extra cash commin my way!!

Did you mean meant on your last post? 8-)  Just bustin' on ya.  Your options may have opened up, but between the revo and the citica, they are 2 great choices.  With extra money for other goodies!

Ahh yes the old internet spelling LOL, I know mine is terrible on the net. Probally because I rush to type stuff fast, I noticed the lovely spell check on the side I  will use it from now on LOL!!! Anyways with my options possibly opening maybe a curado, chronarch, jonny morris gold/elite abu stx diawa zillion so many options not enough experience!
