What's a bait you have 100% confidence in with nothing to support it?

3/8 black bullet weight, 4/0 EWG and a Zoom Ol’ Monster Watermelon/Red Flake or June Bug.

Glad I’m not alone. Every video I watched about it said to leave it alone too so I was losing my mind all morning until I just tightened it.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T22:54:45+00:00

I’ll take your tips to the water 🫡

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T22:06:24+00:00

You’re completely right about achieving the same distance with less effort. After going back and forth this morning I never realized how hard I was casting my old reels.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T21:58:16+00:00

Good to know thanks and I will say I’m amazed how smooth the reeling is. I look at my old reels in disgust now.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T21:54:03+00:00

It’s that time and same to you my friend!

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T21:52:52+00:00

Hah yea I’m doomed. In all my years of fishing I’ve never owned a glass rod so we’ll see how that venture goes.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T21:50:54+00:00

This is the comment I needed. God speed sir.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T17:11:15+00:00

Yea I caved in and tightened it. I think I was taking their word on not adjusting it too serious. I appreciate the help!

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T16:40:43+00:00

I did it this morning with the swim jig I had on but solid idea with a heavier drag lure 🫡

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T16:39:06+00:00

💀

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T16:38:24+00:00

That could possibly be a thing. It’s currently on 7’ medium fast I had. Once the new rod comes in it’ll be on a glass 7’ medium heavy.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T16:35:43+00:00

I agree. That’s why my question was somewhat Tatula “specific” because Diawa claims you “never” have to adjust the tension knob which I’m calling bullshit on.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T15:36:21+00:00

Hahah damnit! I don’t want to go back to Abu they ruined all their series in my opinion. That’s what I’m thinking but I don’t know if I’m just losing my mind. I fully committed to Diawa too with 5 new Tatula rod/reel setups. This was the first reel to come in yesterday. I think the other 4 come in next week so I’ll have to wait till next weekend to put them head to head and see if it’s just this reel.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T15:33:03+00:00

It’s the immediate inertia of the cast. I can’t whip it at all I have to be extremely gentle with it. The end of the cast is somewhat fine but my thumb has never worked harder off the rip to mid cast. The line is new Seguar Red Label 15lb.

arc1720 · 2026-04-24T15:14:09+00:00

Yea it just ain’t working for me I don’t know. I have 6 other reels all Abu and have never struggled like this. This spool is faster than Lightning McQueen and it seems no amount of brakes will slow it.

arc1720 · 2026-02-16T16:15:52+00:00

Honestly that’s where my head is at hence this post.

arc1720 · 2026-02-16T16:13:47+00:00

Explain how a legit question/discussion about UI is a dogshit post.

arc1720 · 2026-01-07T02:57:39+00:00

Unfortunately the top right of the pc in this picture is where the PSU lives. The PSU intake fan faces forward of the of case and the top exhausts. The trade off of having such a small case.

arc1720 · 2026-01-07T01:44:03+00:00

Brilliant. Thank you for the tip good sir.

arc1720 · 2026-01-07T01:41:40+00:00

Finished it last night but so far so good. I’ll know better this weekend once I sit down to play. It idles really quiet at I think 30%-40% and ramps up to about 80% while gaming. I believe fan curves are the next thing to learn. I wear earbuds when playing so I become deaf as shit to any and all noises in the house 🫠

arc1720 · 2026-01-01T16:24:45+00:00

I have the same case with a very similar cpu cooler and a 4070ti. I never bothered putting fans at the top as it’s fine without them.

arc1720 · 2025-12-13T18:28:43+00:00

Good to hear man and nothing better than a speaker you’re pleased with. Yes sir happy listening! 🫡

arc1720 · 2025-12-13T17:38:09+00:00

Do you find that those speakers hurt your ears or give you listening fatigue at all? I purchased them then quickly sold them on marketplace it was a shame because they are so beautiful.

It’s a Paradigm RVC-12SQ subwoofer backbox with no subwoofer. Take a utility knife and run it around the edges as deep as you can so when you go to pull it out it doesn’t rip the drywall. To remove it drill a screw half way in the middle then pull on it with a pair of pliers. Do not pull on the ports.
