Hey Deitz,

I know your a Shimano guy so I hope you can help on this. I have the new Citica and love it. The other day after I caught a fish with my new reel, I threw right back out and then noticed when I reeled the jig back in that the reel was clicking. The clicking seems to stop after a few casts but as soon as I catch another fish the reel starts clicking on the retrieve. Is this the problem that Shimano was having with that reel. I know I have read something about that reel somewhere and Shimano was offering to fix the problem.

Should I take it back to Cabelas or call Shimamo and send it in for repair? I am dreading the down time not having the reel. What do you think?

that just doesnt sound right.. and I know theyhave not had any problems with reels in this area.. it was only way down south near saltwater. And it had to do with the worm gear assembly.

If it were me, and I just bought it at cabelas... They have one of the best customer programs out there.. I would see if they would exchange the reel.

Either that or call shimano...

I took it back to Cabelas and they gave me a new reel, how cool is that. I bought the reel back in Febuary (but the reel had about two weeks of use on it) so I was not sure if they would want to exchanged the reel. They took it no questions asked. They even exchanged the line I had on the reel. I was very impressed. I wish more retailers were like this. Thanks for the advice Deitz.

I bought a Citica this year and I really like the reel. So far I can't say I've given it a very good workout though. It does cast just as well as my Curado SF. I don't think the retrieve is quite as smooth as the curado though. I have last years curado SF not the new one. Just some of my thoughts from comparing the two reels.
