Andy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone here have any experience with this reel? I am considering getting a new jerkbait reel for musky and pike. I am looking for a 6.3:1 ratio. I have a Shimano Curado 300 for small to med bucktails and spinnerbaits and two of the 5.4: 1 Toros for plastics and cranks. All great reels. But I wouldn't mind if I saved a few bucks on this reel. I was intrigued with the Okuma Komodo, but the Citrix seems to be built on the same frame with less bearings. I can get it for almost the same money as a Abu 6601 C4, which I haven't ruled out either because of parts availability of ease of repair. Any input appreciated.

chris.brock Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm definitely not as up to date on the new stuff as other guys here, for me it's a Curado or Calcutta, so for what it's worth, in my opinion, a baitcaster isn't the piece of tackle to try to save a few bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mills Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Youtube's got a couple vids about these reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yeah, I've watched the videos and read the limited reviews. But nothing beats talking to someone that's used one. I think I'm gonna hold off and either go for a Shimano, or maybe the Okuma Komodo. I'm in no rush. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishing4Tails Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'm always a shimano fan but ... Diawa lexa 300 or 400 are priced well for high end reel .. Maybe check them out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
