    This is a pretty specific question for anyone that has bought Blue Tops since they went to Mexico. Have read mixed reviews on quality since the move. Wondering how long they are lasting. My last 2 boats have been rigged with bluetops. My 1990 they lasted 12 years for me, and atleast 3 more for the guy I sold it to. Then he sold it and they were still ok. My current boat I put them in about 2011. They still are fine, but I’m preparing for “that day”. I keep a small Blue Top for pond fishing.
    Just replaced it after 15 years. They are about $290 in Fleet Farm add this week. Was looking at lithiums in one of my Florida fishing magazines. They had them for under $700 each. I’m 65 in May. A good set of blue tops may out last me. Unless the quality has taken a dump. My brother has tried the AGMs, they seen to last a few years, for not much savings.
