Gotta go with the Citica here, have a hard time believing someone would have to send 4 back.  If that indeed was the case, why would you keep asking them to send you another vs. getting your money back and going with a different brand sooner?  Having a hard time buying that story here. 

I fish only Shimano and have only had one break down ever, and Shimano was more than happy to fix and never had any problems since. 

My friend keeps telling me that the Citica sucks and he has sent 4 back to Shimano, he is also sayin that I should Go with Abu Garcia instead of Shimano cause Abu's lower end stuff is way better.

id love for your friend to have that talk on this forum. please, schedule a time for this debate. we could sell tickets, buy you some good gear...........

I will do that, invite him to my house and let him on the forum with my username and let him tell u his story, ill pm u a date

you wont find a better reel for under $150

That's pretty hard to beat.  I'd buy it if I had the need for another reel right now.

Id buy it but i dont have the money right now
