The Shimano Citica D is a groundbreaking breakthrough in Shimano's lineup of baitcasters. They tricked it out with new capabilities and now I am going to explain to you what I think of all the goodies on this reel. It is really definitely constructed like a truck. Retailed at $120, this reel must be given some thought.
Here's a list of all the new options that Shimano has put on this design.
- Very low Mass Drilled Spool (D and DPV styles only)
- Large Performance Gearing
- Dartanium Drag
- PV Strength Paddles (200DPV & DSV styles only)
- Drilled Handle Shank
- Dartanium Drag
- Recessed Reel Foot
- Clicking Drag Adjustment
- Reduced Mass VBS Hub
- Additional, Difficult Steel!
- 5 Bearings (4 on 100DSV)
I am quite glad that Shimano involved the Lower Mass drilled spool in this reel. It certainly took a few of the weight off of the spool for nice extended casts. It may not be the Magnumlite, but it can be a step up from the older type.
High Efficiency Gearing is now the rage for Shimano small profile reels and is now in the Citica. Torque is important for handling large fish and that's what HEG is all about. It does add some weight to the reel, but I believe it is absolutely worth it.
PV Electrical power Paddles are a nice addition to the 200 sizes. They are larger than most grips and are terrific when handling massive fish to make positive you're fingers do not slip off track.
The new drilled handle shanks that occur on a very few lower profiles in Shimano's lineup do come with all Citica types. It really is a fantastic, weight reducing characteristic that also adds to the reels seems to be.
Dartanium drags are a Shimano classic for smoothness and applied being only known to such reels as the legendary Calcutta. It's lastly been involved in the Citica. In fact, it's got been known as amongst the smoothest drags in the planet for a fishing
