The setup you have right now is popular for throwing spinners for chinook in tide water. But when you get into a river your gunna have to change it up a bit. I'm guessing you have a mono mainline. For winter's anything in the 10-15 pound range will do just fine..... Braids a whole other story. You want to run your spinners stright to your mainline, no wait required. You should stock up and 3's and 4's, hell even some 5's for those muddy water days.
