5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, May 20, 2009

The Citica E is a superb reel in terms of quaity, value and ergonomics. Casting and retrieving is surprisingly smooth for having only 4 ball bearings. The clicking drag star is a really nice feature and is easy to adjust on the fly. The 1/8 turn key access to the spool and brake system is quick and effecient. The 6.3 to 1 gear ratio is perfect for a general-purpose reel. And at 7.8 oz, you can fish this reel all day and not worry about fatigue. Overall, Shimano did a great job with this reel when you consider all the features it offers, the quality components and the pure "fishability" of the product.
