It is intended for light lure fishing for perch, trout, zander and pike with smaller artificial lures. The CLAM model's description specifically includes softbaits and hardbaits, so the supported use is active lure fishing rather than a dedicated heavy-lure setup.
Both models sit above the rod and retrieve with the right-hand handle. Their closed-face design uses one-touch casting, so choose a setup for this mounting position rather than treating them as open-face reels fitted below the rod.
No difference is documented in their shared specifications: size 170, 354 g, 3.9:1 gearing, 63 cm retrieve, four bearings and 4.5 kg maximum drag. ABUM170S-C carries the full model name ABUMATIC 170 SYNCRO CLAM and is explicitly listed with 12lb Berkley® Trilene® XL already spooled. Select by the model code and supported included equipment, not an assumed performance change.
Both hold 145 m of 0.30 mm monofilament and use a Carbon Matrix(TM) SYNCRO star drag rated to 4.5 kg. This gives a stated capacity for that line diameter and a drag limit to compare against your intended setup, not a capacity guarantee for other diameters.
Yes, both models are described as saltwater protected and have an aluminium body and front cone. Their stated fishing use is light lure fishing for freshwater species, so the protection does not establish a specialist sea-fishing application.

The Abu Garcia ABUMATIC 170 SYNCRO is a closed-face spincast reel for light lure fishing for perch, trout, zander and pike. One-touch casting simplifies the cast, while the enclosed spool sits behind an aluminium front cone. Both models are fished with the reel above the rod and the handle on the right, an important distinction from an open-face reel mounted below the rod. The supplier describes use with smaller artificial lures, including softbaits and hardbaits for the CLAM model.
Both size-170 models weigh 354 g and have a 3.9:1 gear ratio with 63 cm of line retrieved per handle turn. These figures help compare retrieve speed and the weight added to the rod. Monofilament capacity is 145 m of 0.30 mm line. The Carbon Matrix(TM) SYNCRO carbon drag system uses a star drag and has a maximum drag of 4.5 kg.
The Duragear(TM) drive has four bearings, specified as three ball bearings plus one instant anti-reverse roller bearing. Instant anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement. Dual rotating swing-arm pick-up pins collect the line on the retrieve. The oscillating Far-cast spool and No-twist line system are designed to support casting distance and reduce line twist.
The body and front cone are aluminium, and both models have a black finish with red details. Saltwater protection is stated for both reels, while their described light lure-fishing use centres on freshwater species. ABUM170S also has a polymeric spool and a stated braid capacity of 145 m at 0.30 mm. No spare spool is included with ABUM170S.
ABUM170S ABUMATIC 170 SYNCRO and ABUM170S-C ABUMATIC 170 SYNCRO CLAM share the listed size, weight, gear ratio, retrieve, drag, bearing count, monofilament capacity and right-hand layout. The supplied specifications do not establish a performance difference between them. The CLAM model is explicitly supplied with 12lb Berkley® Trilene® XL line already spooled, so its included line is a supported selection point. Choose by the complete model identity rather than expecting a different retrieve or drag specification.
