SHIMANO ANNOUNCES SPECIAL PRE-ICAST SHOW RELEASE OF NEW CITICA I SERIES BAITCASTING REELS
IRVINE, Calif. – 2015 Introduction – Available Mid-June 2015 –
Anglers looking for both proven and its new baitcasting reel technology are now offered the new Citica I series reels, including the CI-200HG and left-hand retrieve 201HG with 7.2:1 gear ratios, and the CI-200 and 201 (left-hand) with 6.3:1 gear ratios. With its official introduction planned for the upcoming 2015 ICAST Show on July 14-17, a limited number of reels are now available from tackle dealers nationwide.
First offered in reels including the Antares, Metanium and Curado, the new Citica I reels feature Shimano’s ‘Hagane’ design concept. With the toughness provided by a rigid, impact resistant Hagane body, angler strength is transformed into cranking power to help land big bass, or in the salt for redfish and sea trout. Anglers also are provided with X-Ship technology for smooth retrieves, plus they can achieve long casts with Shimano’s S3D spool for balance and reduced vibration. Shimano’s SVS Infinity braking system provides easy-to-manage centrifugal brake performance for precision casting adjustments.
All four reels weigh in at 7.4-ounces, and will handle from 190 yards of 30-pound test to 80 yards of 65-pound test PowerPro braid.
