Abu Garcia Superior Spinning Reel 20SH 5kg 83cm 6.2:1 5

Abu Garcia Superior 20SH – High-Speed Precision for Light Techniques

The Superior 20SH is a compact spinning reel engineered by Abu Garcia's Japanese team to deliver smooth performance and lightweight strength at an accessible price point. With a 6.2:1 high gear ratio and 83 cm retrieve per turn, this shallow-spool model excels in finesse applications where quick line recovery matters.

Lightning-Fast Retrieve for Active Fishing

The 6.2:1 gear ratio and 83 cm line recovery per crank make the Superior 20SH ideal for techniques demanding rapid lure control—twitching, jigging, and fast retrieves. The shallow spool design pairs perfectly with braided line, reducing weight and improving casting distance for ultra-light and light setups.

Built Tough, Runs Smooth

Five bearings (4 stainless steel HPCR ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing) ensure fluid rotation, while the Salt Shield™ bearing in the pinion gear adds corrosion protection. The DuraMetal™ body construction delivers rigidity without bulk, and the Water Shield carbon matrix hybrid drag system provides consistent pressure up to 5 kg. The aluminium machine-cut handle with soft-touch knob offers secure grip during long sessions.
