handle knobs, which are sure to be a hit with the guys chasing big toothy<br />
critters.<br />
It is available in two additional sizes – the LX300 and LX400 – and with a<br />
power handle or a double paddle handle.<br />
It comes in right- and left-handed versions in two different gear ratios:<br />
