I have that exact charger, it does fine with a deep cycle battery. I use it all the time when charging the battery for my pontoon.
+1 on buying a new battery with a warranty.
Nope, a few weeks ago. I was out on Simcoe lastnight until 2am throwing topwater for smallies
Did good on Lake O though, bottomed out the 25lb scale my buddy had. We are guessing around 27lbs or so. Big chinnie.
When I used to fish Erie with the oldman all we'd ever do is drown minnows in 17-25ft of water. Never ever a skunk and always a few monsters (4+ lbs)
We'd fish Crystal Beach, Albino, wherever...
I just picked up a Shimano Saros 1000F for my oldman because he liked using mine so much. 750 body size with the 1000 sized spool.
Absolutely love it. Use it for everything from specs to walleyes.
