brian, there is really nothing that will change the specs for your lx. personally, i would fish the reel at the 15# strike limit. just take the time to measure the drag setting at full. if you are in a situation where you need more drag, push the lever to full and to hell with the right main side plate bearing. after one big fish, i'm sure that bearing will be toast. they're $5 from avet. keep a couple as back up.

here's the deal. the smaller avets are what they are. you can't squeeze anything more out of them. they will always play second fiddle to accurate. and for the price, that's ok. i just won't be buying any avets. just wait till you see what i DO have on order!
