I need a new BC. I have several issues. Is the Curada worth an extra money over the Citica...would I like the Revo STX HS over the other two reels. My local shop happens to have an employee that is going to rig all 3 reels up using the same rod, line ect and meet me at the boat ramp Monday evening. He says then make a choice. Sounds pretty good. He is also my neighbor. That helps.

It's going to be completely up to you and because you get to field test before you buy you are already getting a head start,  They are all good reels but take this opportunity and put them baby's to the test and you will know which one is right for you.

Any of the three would make a good choice. Try them and see which one you like best. And it sounds like you've got a good neighbor!

Sounds like you've got the opportunity that few others of us ever get. Pay close attention to the performance between the Curado and Citica.......even close your eyes when retrieving each. I personally tell no difference. For me, it's just a matter of retrieve speed choice.

wow you've got a heck of a neighbor.

Sounds like you have a hard choice to make.  I am still waiting on my citica so I cant comment on that, but I do however love my STX.  Its built like a tank, and cast and retrieves very smooth.  Having the dual braking option if you were to ever need it is nice also.
