How many years should a starting or trolling battery last?
Depending on where your batteries are located, access for the required maintenance of wet cell batteries can be problematic. Here's some additional info regarding AGM's vs Flooded - the cost consideration and whether it's 'worth it' may be a personal choice. This design difference makes the AGM far more efficient. It has a cycle life that is nearly two times as long, a recharge time cut in half, and can absorb twenty times the vibration resistance. Furthermore, this makes AGM batteries spill-proof. There are four, distinct, technical advantages of an absorbed glass-mat battery versus a flooded lead-acid battery: 1. AGM batteries do not show terminal corrosion. Without terminal corrosion the battery needs less lifetime maintenance. 2. The AGM battery neither produces nor expels hydrogen or oxygen gases like the flooded lead-acid battery does. Without these external gasses escaping during charging and discharging, electrolyte and water loss is avoided. 3. When comparing batteries in the same group size, AGM’s permit additional plate surface area. An increased plate surface area directly correlates to higher ratings in cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity (RC). 4. An AGM battery has a lower internal resistance than a flooded lead-acid battery. This allows faster recharge and a slower discharge. In practical use, this difference has a few key applicable advantages. 1. Cold Weather: the increased CCA of AGM’s allows automotive batteries to start easier in cold weather. This means you have a better chance of batteries starting- avoiding being stranded due to a battery that is either dead or won’t turn the engine over in colder temperatures. 2. Marine applications: deep-cycle AGM’s excel for marine applications. AGM’s allow a slower battery drain and faster charge- components important for batteries used for trolling motors and on-board electronics. 3. Extreme Applications: AGM’s are better than flooded for applications with lots of stopping and starting. 4. The incredible vibration resistance of AGM’s makes them the ideal choice for vehicles that operate in bumpier conditions. A-Jay

Are today's plastics, biodegradable?
As mentioned above, most soft plastics do not degrade very quickly - if at all. On any give trip I'll usually have a decent load of plastic baits & trailers in the boat. Doesn't mean I'm pitching whole baits or even parts & pieces in the lake - Ever. And here's at least one good reason why . . . A-Jay

Field of 10 anglers is set for the Championship Round. Who ya Got ? I'm going with MDJ. A-Jay

SK Rage Craw Question
Nope. I leave NO baits that come in shell / clam packs in the original shape retaining packing. With ZERO Ill effects I might add. Besides taking up too much space, it's somewhat of a PIA getting a new bait in a timely manner on the water. I may use the original bag (of a zip lock) but the clam-ness goes bye-bye. A-Jay

Bass Pro Tour General Tire Stage Three – Lake Fork, TX
With just over an hour left in period 2 of this Knockout Round, the top 8 anglers above the elimination line represent quite an assemblage of persons. Still some fishing to do but the Championship Round is shaping up to be interesting, educational & entertaining. A-Jay

The Road To The Super Bowl 2020
IMO TB12 stands alone. And the Tom Brady love is Real and Well Earned. Thank You hardly seems like enough but it's all we've got. Good Luck to him moving forward and remember, if & when you play the Pats again, as you're getting up off the ground, It's just Football . . . Hate to see him go but definitely would prefer to watch him "age' with another team. As a man 20 years his senior, I can say with quite a bit of confidence, it's coming. A-Jay
