In addition to the mechanical line counter, the Alphamar 20 Syncro LC has a syncro function that allows you to easily reduce braking force by 50 percent by reversing the handle 1/3 turn. Very useful when sending down baits on the downrigger and you do not want to disengage, or when you need to quickly reduce the brake in fighting situations.
2 stainless steel ball bearings provide smooth operation
Carbon Matrix drag system delivers smooth and strong braking performance
Syncro™ function enables quick adjustment of braking force without adjusting the drag setting
Duragear™ brass gear for long life
Mechanical line counter
Graphite frame and sideplates
Extended handle with paddle grip for greater power
Machined aluminum spool for durability, without added weight - lightweight and strong

Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Pike, Zander, Salmon
Suitable line
Refers to which line is primarily suited to the product. The most common types of lines are braided lines and monofilament lines.
Braided, Mono
Gear ratio
What is gear ratio? The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many laps around the reel’s spool the line goes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A fast gear ratio (high speed) is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 spool rotations per crank. Such a reel can be great when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure. In modern spin fishing, there are also reels with super-fast gear ratios, over 7.5 spool rotations per crank, used with certain lures that benefit from being fished very quickly.
Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
4.7:1
Line retrieved per crank
Refers to how many centimeters of line are wound onto the spool per crank. The higher the gear ratio on the reel, the faster you retrieve the line.
74 cm
Reel handle side
This indicates which side of the reel the handle is on.
Right
Reel size
This indicates the size class of the reel. The size is specified differently depending on the type of reel, and you can read more about how they’re classified under Frequently Asked Questions in each reel’s category.
300
Line capacity (diameter - length)
Refers to how many meters of line of a certain diameter (mm) the spool can hold.
0.410 mm x 445 m
Line included
Whether the reel comes with pre-spooled line or not. If the line is included, just unpack your gear and start fishing!
Not Pre-Spooled
Spool material
Refers to the material the spool itself is made of.
Alloy
Max drag capacity
The maximum number of kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. When casting heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength.
7.0 kg
Rod type
Refers to which type of rod this product pairs with. The most common rod types are spinning rods and casting rods. Casting rods pair with trolling reels, saltwater reels, low-profile reels, and baitcasting reels. Spinning rods pair with spinning reels.
Trolling
Type of fishing
Refers to which type of fishing the product is intended for.
Example: A spinning reel is intended for the spin fishing method.
Trolling
Type of ball bearing
Refers to the type of bearings the reel is equipped with. For example, stainless steel bearings.
Stainless steel
Number of ball bearings
Refers to how many ball bearings, needle bearings, and bushings are mounted in the reel.
