Okuma Alaris 20 Line Capacity & Reel Setup Guide
If you are setting up the Okuma Alaris 20 for everyday trout and panfish fishing with light mono, its 4 lb / 140 yards mono rating is a useful starting point. The rigid metal handle supports controlled retrieves, while the oiled-felt drag releases line under load. Choose your exact line in the preloaded calculator below to estimate a full spool or optional backing beneath a shorter working length.
Quick Answer: Best Line for the Okuma Alaris 20
Best overall range: 4-8 lb braid
Simple alternative: 2-6 lb mono/fluoro
4-8 lb braid is a ReelCalc starting suggestion for this setup. For a straight main line, consider 2-6 lb mono/fluoro. Match the strength to your rod, presentation and cover; backing is optional.
Who Is the Okuma Alaris 20 For?
This size is a starting point for everyday trout and panfish fishing with light mono. Choose the working line for the rod and presentation first, then allow a useful reserve for the fishing you expect. This page follows ALS-20 (Original ALS generation; 2022 US catalog); a similarly named model or another generation can have a different spool.
Use the Pre-Loaded Alaris 20 ReelCalc Calculator
ALS-20 is already selected. Capacity Only estimates a full spool; Backing + Main Line estimates backing beneath the working length you choose. Both are estimates.
Best Line Setup for the Okuma Alaris 20
Start with a line strength suited to your rod, lure or bait, and the cover you fish. You can fill the spool with main line or use optional backing under a shorter working section. Keep steady tension while spooling and watch the fill level.
| Fishing Use | Suggested Line Setup |
|---|---|
| Everyday Trout And Panfish Fishing With Light Mono | 4 lb braid with a 2 lb leader |
| Simple straight-line setup | 2-6 lb mono/fluoro |
Okuma Alaris 20 Line Capacity
These are the published capacity reference points for ALS-20. When a verified diameter rating exists for the selected material, the calculator uses it as the reference for your chosen line diameter. Two lines with the same pound-test label can have different diameters, so they may fill the spool differently.

|---|---|---|
| Monofilament | 2 lb | 280 yards |
| Monofilament | 4 lb | 140 yards |
| Monofilament | 6 lb | 110 yards |

| Braid | 15 lb | 140 yards |
| Monofilament | 0.15 mm | 250 m |
| Monofilament | 0.2 mm | 140 m |
| Monofilament | 0.25 mm | 90 m |

Okuma Alaris 20 FAQs
What Size Braid Is Best for the Okuma Alaris 20?
4-8 lb braid is the practical ReelCalc range for this reel. Use the lighter end when fishing small lures for trout and panfish in open water. The upper end can provide more margin around light cover, but keep the line matched to the rod and lure so the setup still handles light presentations well.
How Much Line Does the Okuma Alaris 20 Hold?
One published reference for this model is 4 lb / 140 yards mono. The full table above shows the other listed capacities. Select your exact line to estimate the fill, then watch the spool clearance instead of forcing on the last few yards.
