This is correct.....be warned though.....The reason it's on sale is due to a slight modification under the reel..they smoothed out the bottom on the new models due to huge increase in discomfort. ....aside from that it's been on sale for 4 more now......so it will be a hard catch. If you find it get it! |

| I use a Citica 200e7, Chronarch 200e7, and Ambassador 5600c4. All of them are great reels and cast very well. Reeling is extremely smooth on all of them aswell. The ambassador holds a bit more line than the shimanos. |

I tried it back in 82, did it for a year and went back to egg beaters. Stradic CI4+ on a H&H Kevlar.. Sweetest combo |
