Having a limit of bass, but no big fish had me on the hunt to upgrade my weight, so I knew I needed to change what I was doing if I was going to entice those bigger fish

If the water is stained or cover is rougher, you can adjust upward

Theres no shortage of copycats on the market, such as Berkleys The General, Strike Kings Ocho, and the YUM Dinger

I also wanted to replace the 4lb, still loaded onto the original plastic spool that came with my '40, which had the line capacities of the spool printed on the front face

The new models are more or less the same as the Winn Lexa's minus the grips, the cosmetic change makes them more sleek so they'll match most rods out there if you care about that

Finding it very strange on retrieve (it's very slow anyhow) and prone to tangles, I tried to see what was wrong with it only to find after an hour of looking for the root cause that the spool needed to be located on the spindle and then turned to lock it in place
