Hi all, I am in the market for a battery to power a 45lb thrust trolling motor that will be pushing a 12' inflatable. I have done some research on the various types and am still hung up between choosing a flooded/wet or AGM deep cycle. I am leaning towards 100AH+... so either Group 27 or 31 (unless someone can argue I will not use this much). I typically will only be out on the water for 2-6 hours on large pond type settings... and paddling is not the end of the world. As far as the AGM vs wet debate is concerned, I do not mind the battery maintenance but I am worried about the battery acid spillage during usage in an inflatable boat. The dealer I found for a WET battery mentioned something about it being contained? Would this negate the spillage? The best prices I have found so far are: $375 for 105AH Group 31 AGM - Canadian Tire $177 for 105AH Group 31 WET - Local Dealer *Prices are CDN with taxes in In short... some insight towards the AGM vs wet debate as well as sizing 80-110AH (Group 24-31) for my application. Thank you in advance

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses, much appreciated.

Hi all, Relatively new to fishing and have a question for you. I have been having trouble with my line becoming twisted, as it seems it is constantly "jumping" off the reel when I'm casting, leaving it to become a tangled mess. I have been doing some reading online about line and reel combos, but have not been able to come to a general conclusion. I have been thinking about going to a braided line as I read it is less prone to tangles as it has little to zero memory. I mostly fish trout and bass in small to medium sized lakes. Here are the specs of my reel and current line: Spinning Reel: lb(kg) - yrds (m) 6(2.7) - 210(190) 8(3.6) - 170 (155) DIA (mm) - m 0.25 - 190 0.28 - 155 Line: Monofilament - DIA 0.30mm - 10lbs test - Sufix Pro Select I guess my question would be: What type of line should I be using? Dia and test? Do I need a leader? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
