Two New Low-Profile Baitcast Reels Give Anglers Something To Cheer About

Ontario, CA:  To maximize success on trophy bass, stripers, musky, salmon and a host of inshore species, it takes strength, line capacity and a powerful drag system. Anglers will receive all the necessary components in all-new Komodo and Citrix 350 low-profile baitcast reels, with available handle configurations and gear ratios to custom tailor the reels to suit all presentations.  

Size is the defining factor of both reels. Line capacity of both the Komodo and Citrix 350 includes 230-yards of 14-pound monofilament. For comparison, current entries in the market hold just 190-yards of 14-pound. Maximizing the opportunity provided by substantial line capacity is a Carbonite and stainless steel drag system that outputs 25-pounds of maximum drag.  Again, current entries in the market output just 15- and 22-pounds.

With the stage set by industry-leading line capacity and drag output, the internal structures of the Komodo and Citrix 350’s are equally impressive. The Komodo’s main gear, pinion gear and drive shaft are constructed from stainless steel for incredible strength.  The main gear and pinion gear in the Citrix is Dura Brass for exceptional smoothness while retaining the stainless steel spool shaft.  On both Citrix and Komodo, frame, spool and frame and handle-side side plate are all aluminum for superior strength and long-term alignment of internal parts.  

The Komodo is a 10-bearing plus roller bearing system, while the Citrix is a 7-bearing plus roller bearing system.  Both reels feature an internally adjustable centrifugal cast control system and dual anti-reverse systems for rock solid hooksets. 

Both Komodo and Citrix 350’s are available in right- and left-hand retrieve. Komodo features a 6.4:1 gear ratio, while Citrix is available in either a high-speed 6:4:1 or incredibly powerful 5.4:1.  Because angler applications for such versatile reels will vary dramatically, both Komodo and Citrix 350 models are available with either a double paddle handle or single power handle.

Breaking down barriers to ownership, the Komodo and Citrix carry an MSRP of $219.99 and $169.99 respectively.
