The Syncro Clam comes packaged in a transparent clamshell case for convenient storage and display, while the standard Syncro arrives in traditional Abu Garcia packaging. The reels themselves are identical in specifications and performance.
Yes. All components are saltwater-protected, making it suitable for coastal freshwater transitions and light saltwater fishing. However, thorough rinsing after use in salt environments is recommended to extend reel life.
The 4.5 kg maximum drag confidently handles trout to 2 kg, perch to 1.5 kg, and pike to 3 kg when using appropriate rod and technique. Paired with 0.30 mm line, it provides a safety margin for unexpected larger specimens.
The stated capacity of 145 m per 0.30 mm is optimal for the reel's design. Using heavier line (0.35 mm or above) reduces total capacity and can compromise spool balance. For heavier presentations, consider Abu Garcia's larger Abumatic models.
Yes. Each Abumatic 170 Syncro comes pre-spooled with 12 lb Berkley Trilene XL monofilament. Simply attach the reel to your rod, tie a lure, and you're ready to fish.
The Carbon Matrix Syncro system uses advanced carbon composite materials to deliver exceptionally smooth, consistent drag without the stick-slip common in older designs. This ensures steady line release under pressure, protecting light tippets and lure attachments from sudden shock.

The Abu Garcia Abumatic Syncro combines classic dependability with modern performance. Purpose-built for light spin fishing with softbaits and small hardbaits, this reel excels when targeting perch, trout, zander, and pike across European freshwater systems.
The reel features a durable aluminum body and front cone paired with a Carbon Matrix Syncro drag system that delivers ultra-smooth, progressive drag performance. Four sealed ball bearings with instant anti-reverse (IAR) technology provide immediate response, while the oscillating Far-cast spool minimizes line twist during casting. The dual rotating swing-arm pick-up pins ensure consistent, quiet line engagement.
With a 3.9:1 gear ratio, the Syncro retrieves 63 cm per turn—a medium pace ideal for methodical presentations. The reel accommodates 145 m of 0.30 mm monofilament, making it suited to light presentations without excessive bulk. Maximum drag of 4.5 kg handles small pike and larger trout confidently. All internal components are saltwater-protected, and each reel ships pre-spooled with 12 lb Berkley Trilene XL, ready to fish immediately.
Weighing just 354 g, the Syncro is compact and portable. The right-hand retrieve design suits most European anglers, though its smooth action appeals equally to both experienced light-tackle specialists and those learning open-face reel technique.
