Shimano Citica I Reel

Tell Me About It

A reel known for reliability, from a brand that doesn't disappoint when it comes to quality, affordable fishing tackle, the Shimano Citica is a powerful baitcasting reel that's all about performance, and which brings you the power of a multiplier in the easy-to-use form of a fixed spool reel.

With an adjustable free spin facility, a quality drag system that's designed to handle hard-fighting species such as chub and barbel, and an 18lb mainline capacity of 215yards on the 6000 size, and a capacity for 215 yards of 10lb line on the 4000 size, this is a coarse fishing reel that gives you affordable luxury, and accessible performance, perfect for sessions spent tackling hard species on fast rivers.  And, when you get a good, strong bolt from a fish that's determined to take your tackle with it, the adjustable free run facility gives you all the line you need to effortlessly play them back in.

From the CNC-milled handle, through the deep alloy spool, to the lightweight strength of the graphite body and rotor, this is a reel that's built for performance, and engineeered to last.

What Discipline Is It For?

A coarse fishing reel that's packed full of performance.

Why Should I Buy It?

Fitted with Shimano's classic X-Ship technology, this reel gives you up to 77cm retrieval power, in a smooth, effortless operation that will come into its own when you're handling hard-fighting fish, or fishing a river in full spate, while the 5.5kg drag gives you the power to bring those bites to the bank, every time.

Managing to design a reel with a smaller, more compact, lightweight body, yet with a larger, more powerful gear system, Shimano have excelled themselves with the Citica, providing a fixed spool reel that's designed to deliver the playing power experienced coarse anglers want and need.

What's The Best Thing About It?

The ease of a fixed spool, with the power of a multiplier.
