KEEPER:
This handy hook keeper is located
on the right inner wall, level with
the reel seat. I’ve fished for hours
with the keeper deployed and no
issues, but it’s a good idea to stow
it when not in use.

INDICATOR:
It’s handy in case the gears need
a little grease.
Located on the face of the ten-
sion knob, it makes identifying
the size and type of line on the
spool easy.
Performance Advice
It’s a good idea to give the Winn
grips an occasional cleaning, but
there is a right way and wrong way
to do it.
Winn recommends applying a
small amount of water or rubbing
alcohol to a soft, clean towel and
gently massaging each grip. It’s
important not to saturate the towel
or to scrub the grips with a brush
and soapy water, which could
destroy the tacky feel.
APPLICATIONS
• The only gear ratio available
is 7.5:1, which is just fine for
most fishing applications.
Use the Pro-Ti for pitching
and flipping, bombing long
casts and just about every-
thing in between. If you pre-
fer a slower gear ratio for
deep cranking or other tac-
tics, then you might want to
take a look at some of Lew’s
other options.
