Sea Fishing Tackle Evaluation: The Abu Garcia Alphamar 12 Reel

If I don’t happen to be fishing, I’m likely to be shopping for some fishing equipment. Since sea fishing is a favourite pastime, I love finding new and intriguing items related to sea fishing. Whenever I shop for any sea fishing tackle, I’ll go to various stores, yet also tend to look to the internet for the many bargains that can be found there. While some people fear shopping on the internet, it is fairly secure to do so. Just the other day I bought a great Abu Garcia reel from an Internet retailer: the Alphamar 12. Ahead are more details on the type of equipment this reel is and the level of quality and enjoyment it holds for me.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Top Characteristics of the Abu Garcia Alphamar 12 Reel

The Alphamar range is a relative newcomer to the Abu Garcia product range. Tested in Australia under excessive conditions, these reels were developed by the UK and European marketplace. One year later, the Alphamar reels were unveiled, to the delight of myself, and I’m sure others. The Alphamar 12 reel I own has numerous features, and works smoothly. My reel costs roughly £82 and includes a carbon matrix drag, 4.3:1 retrieve ratio, and high-precision corrosion resistant (HPCR) stainless steel ball bearings. The Alphamar 12 reel comes complete with resilient brass gears to ensure smooth and effortless performance.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Bonus Features of the Alphamar 12 Reel

An anti-distortion spool and synchronised level wind are found with this machine. I especially welcome dual anti reverse, as well as the bearing system, which is a roller bearing and three ball bearings. The weight of this reel is 502g, and the line capacity is 420m of 0.33 line. As I like to fish offshore much of the time, my reel has to be one that is durable, resilient, and able to hold up under rough weather conditions. This Alphamar 12 is that kind of reel, plus it offers an ideal mix of performance and strength if you wish to blue water fish. Plus, as the one-piece alloy frame offers top-notch corrosion resistance, the large range of the drag system (settings as high as 27 pounds) gives extra versatility to this reel. My Alphamar 12 fishing reel has never failed to perform.

Sea Fishing Tackle: Details Concerning Abu Garcia

It was in 1921 that Carl Borgstrom founded Abu Garcia in Svangsta, Sweden. Abu Garcia, which was once a taxi meter, pocket watch, and telephone timer manufacturer, blossomed due to its visionary leader and his great engineering talent. In the years following World War II, when demand for its core products declined, the company refocused its energy on developing, designing, and manufacturing precision fishing reels. The Abu Garcia company has the distinction of being a “Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court” – meaning that they hold to only the highest standards when it comes to craftsmanship and quality.

For the most precision manufactured, heavy-duty sea fishing tackle, the Abu Garcia Alphamar 12 fishing reel is the one that most discerning anglers choose.
