I like the revo better.JMHO

The only reel I've seen with a lower profile than the Citica/Curado E is the Core 50.

the E-series citicas and curados are certainly low but i think the others were talking about how wide they are.

That is what I was referring to, thank you snoopy, I should have been more clear.

I have fished with the Revos S and the Citica E and the Citica is hands down the better reel in my opinion.  Much smoother, more consistent casting and just an overall much better reel.

Later,

I have a Revo S and a Citica E - I FAR prefer the Citica. In fact I am currently working on replacing the Revo on the rod its on because I feel like its reel is too heavy I have a ton of trouble pitching jigs *mind you I'm also very new at this technique too*.

If you like plastic then the Shimano is for you. If you want aluminum then the Revo. If you want a better reel then the Advantage Super Tuned.

Oh, by the way Abu was making reels long before the first Bantam 100's were made. In fact you can still get most of the parts for reels made in the '50's. Try finding a pinion gear for the 100's, 200's or 300 Bantams.

Curados and Citicas have aluminum frames and graphite side plates.  The Curado 300 has an aluminum side plate on the handle side.

Not a Shimano hater, and own several Citica 100, along with a couple of Chronarch B's and even have a 1980 Bantam 100 (retired of course). Not to mention Stradic's and Greenies, but are they better then my Daiwa's or Abu nope.
