Abu Garcia Abumatic Synchro Encapsulated Reel 170 4.5kg 63cm 3.9:1

Abu Garcia Abumatic Synchro 170 — Classic spincast reliability for effortless casting

The Abu Garcia Abumatic Synchro 170 combines time-tested spincast simplicity with modern performance features. Its aluminium construction, smooth Carbon Matrix™ drag, and dual rotating pick-up pins deliver dependable operation for perch, trout, pike, and zander.

Aluminium body and ultra-smooth drag

The Abumatic Synchro 170 features a durable aluminium body and front cone that keep weight low while providing lasting rigidity. The Carbon Matrix™ SYNCRO drag system offers precise, ultra-smooth control up to 4.5 kg, giving you confidence when fighting fish. Pre-spooled with 12 lb Berkley® Trilene® XL, the reel is ready to fish straight from the box.

Easy one-touch casting and no-twist line system

Press the thumb button and cast—it's that simple. The oscillating far-cast spool distributes line evenly, while the no-twist line system prevents tangles and keeps your line in top condition. Dual rotating swing-arm pick-up pins ensure reliable line engagement on every retrieve, and the 4-bearing Duragear™ drive with instant anti-reverse delivers smooth, solid cranking at a 3.9:1 gear ratio (63 cm per turn).

• Abu Garcia Abumatic Synchro Encapsulated Reel 170 — the classic enclosed spincast design fished standing on the rod, protected against saltwater corrosion
