A Citica is the lowest priced Shimano reel that is worth the money, and if you like the price point add 10 bucks and get a Lews Speed Spool, not the laser MG but the normal Speed Spool, they were 89 dollars but now they are 99, anyway it is an aluminum framed reel that performs really well for a budget priced baitcasting reel.

Is the caenan a good casting rod?

Casting: The Caenan is quite a competent caster and I found I was able to sling both heavy and lightweight lures consistently using both 10-12lb. lines. The Caenan doesn’t have “Super Free” and yet it casted almost as far as the Citica E in our distance tests.

Style-wise the Caenan is a departure from previous Shimano reels and features a two-tone pattern where the center frame is painted a deep red color and the sideplates are light silver.
