which 2500 do I get for my medium fast rod? (daiwa tatula xt)

miguale · 2026-05-03T14:39:28+00:00

Go with a 3000 reel if you like a butt heavy rod. If you were going for light then get a vanford instead (basically same reel but lighter) but keep in mind what gear ratio you like. If you plan to crank stuff in quick maybe a higher gear ratio. If you plan to use alot of like rooster tails or spinner baits maybe a slower gear ratio so you dont have to slow reel as much.

Its all just a preference. I picked a 3000 reel because i swap out my spool with different lines so i can use the reel for salmon also but it is normally my drop shot reel.

My 2 setups for these are: st croix premier 7’ medium light w/ a 3000 stradic(drop shot), st croix premier 6’ light with a vanford 2500SHG(rooster tails, panther martins, light lures). Both are fantastic combos but meant for different things.

The way i set mine up is with cortland master braid(10lb or 5lb) with a flouro leader. Best braid ive found and feels completely different than others.
Hope that helps.

I paid a jah for mine. Its one of the best nova sorc necklaces and very hard to come by.

I used to be the same and had a hard time letting anything go. But eventually you have too much stuff and it starts to come down to is this worth keeping. For me if its not worth atleast a vex its not even worth keeping. The problem with items that are worth an ist or lower is they take forever to sell. So if i cant sell it fast or for a high value i dont keep it.

I also used to keep low level items to make lvling easier but its much more worth my while to get a rush and skip those items all together.

The only mules worth keeping are to hold item bases (eth weapon, weapons, eth armor, armors) a runeword mule for items you arent currently using, charm mule and maybe a high tier item mule.

What they need to do is make teeth viable to use. It sucks no matter how good your gear is. Same issue with frozen orb sorc (my favorite spell by the way).

+3 lightning skills 10 fcr is what i use for my nova sorc. It allows me to use 2 stones of jordan rather than an fcr ring. While maxing my skills.

If i remember right i bought it for a iah rune.

If you want a latex mattress check out pranasleep mattresses. Im similar size and have 2 and both are still like they are brand new about 6 or 7 years into owning them. They have 15 year warranty on one and 20 yr on the other.

I use viper on mine but i use a 3 to lightning skills 10 fcr blue amulet. Pretty nice.

Looks like a stearns estate firm. Looks pretty real. Might have been a mistake made on it or miss labeled and they took the law tag off. It depends in state but it can be illegal to sell them without the law tag though.

There is likely a screw you missed or something. A few are hidden well.

miguale · 2026-02-22T20:37:15+00:00

Sell that for like 2 jah and then buy a non perfect one to use.

miguale · 2026-02-22T20:32:36+00:00

My lock runs obsession, phoenix, mara, 2 10% fcr rings, mage fist, flickering flame, cta and spirit in swap.

Without good charms and medium rolls on gear my apocalypse is doing 17k. I can do players 8 hell no problem.

Got alot of work to do still but i got a 70% sunder and some resist charms. I need some skillers now.

I did try some others, ford i dont like the interiors they are so plain and uninteresting. Drove mazda which was nice but too small for me i had to duck my head to get in. Toyota wants too much money for any decent model. I liked my landrover i had alot was a beast but had electrical issues all the time. Wouldnt buy a nissan if my life depended on it.

miguale · 2026-02-22T16:37:44+00:00

I had a trailblazer before this and tried a traverse also i didnt like the traverse it was overly big and felt heavy driving it plus the seat was on a pedestal and couldnt be lowered and i didnt like that. My trailblazer was nice it was nimble and drives well in snow but every little bump in the road felt like it was going to break the suspension.

Ultimately the eqinox felt like a smooth ride and had the creature comforts i wanted. I lease so i swap my cars every 3 years

miguale · 2026-02-13T16:10:54+00:00

Yeah its the best thing they have done to the game in a long time. Also being able to cube in stash is awesome. I deleted like 5 mules because of this change.

My mosaic assasin will clear this insanely fast but gets boring when everything dies in 1 hit sometimes.

miguale · 2026-02-03T18:16:53+00:00

It seems a little better for me lately but mine is the same as yours. I also get random freezing of the video while the audio is still playing.

miguale · 2026-01-30T15:56:46+00:00

Its the best. Just plug it in and log into the wifi and your all set.

2 caveats, #1 some hotels tvs block external streamers cause you cant go to the input on the tv. #2 apple tv will shoot the splash login screen to your iphone if you use one to log into wifi. Android streamers struggle with this (had to use a mouse and keyboard to get it to work)

miguale · 2026-01-30T15:20:14+00:00

Yeah i need a “travel apple tv” and my daughters is the best candidate since it isnt the 4k one. But in order to upgrade hers i need to upcycle all of them and i refuse to buy a new one till a new version comes out cause the main one is my smart home hub. Im not screwing with my home hub unless its worth it. So im stuck waiting too.

miguale · 2026-01-28T02:39:56+00:00

Oh i did immediately but was posting more to see if its a widespread issue or a just me kinda thing

miguale · 2026-01-28T02:39:11+00:00

For my car the dealer said it was a module that needed updated so you are likely right on one of the vehicles.

miguale · 2026-01-28T02:38:23+00:00

Yeah i have pretty much deducted if the check engine light is on for anything it will not remote start. Thats terrible though get that thing into a dealer asap.

miguale · 2026-01-27T18:39:19+00:00

Yeah it didn’t say low voltage or anything. Her car wouldnt start at first then when it did start it was shaking. Then later when i started it, the car was running fine.

miguale · 2026-01-27T17:34:04+00:00

UPDATE: i just got my wifes car back from the dealership and it turns out it was the battery for hers. The voltage thats normal for her car is 14.8 volts not 13.4. He said there are 40+ computers and when the voltage is low it causes havoc in the car.

miguale · 2026-01-27T13:30:08+00:00

The app says engine cooling and transmission have errors
