Bigstew, did you listen to the Big Show 910 The Fan this afternoon?

[Salmonator]

way off on the sturgeon fishing but right on about the telecasters. And I assume that you meant to type "over-weighted" for the RT comparison? images/icons/grin.gif

[Grant Scheele]

I think that RT will say:

Over-rated/ 6 inches

Under-rated/ 4 inches

Ha ha Sal - you just meant too much lead for backbouncing, right? images/icons/tongue.gif ..

And Stew Stew Stew! Classic rock, Beatles, Lennon, and Clapton all overated?!? Blastphemy! You've had 10,000 too many Corona Extras that have destroyed the cells in the arts dept. of your brain man. Ooops - no bashing; please excuse. (what a cracker though! jk images/icons/grin.gif ) ...

Let's see ... fishing and other general things either over or under rated, and by direct comparison. OK, but remember that saying something or someone is overated does not mean they are not good. ...

- Buoy 10/north side (Ilwaco to the Church hole)

- Tillamook Bay! (agreed Stew)/zipper lip spots

- Crowded springer fishin/late nate steelie C&R fishin almost by ourselves!

- Yoga/massage!

- Dawgs/Beavers (Ducks about right)

- Jet Planer divers/Magnum Hot N Tots

- Sandshrimp (very good though)/crawfish tails

- Marabou jigs (very good though)/rubber jigs (worms, etc.)

- Fender guitar amps/Marshall guitar amps (Sun amps for bass)

- Yamaha keyboards/Hammond B-3 organ

- Mercury outboards/Yamaha outboards

- Alumiweld boats/Willie boats

- Nascar/Transam

- Funny cars/Pro Stock

- Mercedes/BMW

- Britney Spears/Christina Aguilara

- Rap/anything else!

- Shania Twain (good though)/Faith Hill

- Barbara Streisand (good though)/Celine Dion (rating just voices - not music or personalities)

- Angie/Julie images/icons/shocked.gif

- Stew's ratings/my ratings ... jk

Could go on and on with this stuff. Fun.

Edit:

Glad you have a good ear too Rick. Stew could be a little tone challenged, don't ya think? I mean "Elvis/Little Richard"?!? Ha ha ha. Come on Shane! I bet you think Burl Ives had a better voice than Perry Commo. Or Mick Jaeger a better voice than Eric Burden? Not! Or Bob Dylan a better voice than Tom Petty? images/icons/shocked.gif I don't think so. And now I figure you might like Britney's cutesy little voice better than Christina's really good belt it out voice? images/icons/rolleyes.gif ...

images/icons/wink.gif Nah ... Just messin with ya bud - it's all in the beholder of the ears. I'm just glad I don't have yours. images/icons/grin.gif

Ya'll, how can you call Annies overrated when it's the only game in town? Trailer your boat, then have a ringside seat within 5 minutes. Try that at sammy's images/icons/grin.gif

[THE REEL HEY_YALL]

You can't do it at the Sammy's in B'ham, but the one down in Mobile,AL or the one in Florida you can..... let's just say that I've seen it done before images/icons/wink.gif as I was "driving" by.

It is the only game it town; I'll give it that much. Problem being, you'll have to clean your game before you eat it. images/icons/grin.gif

Good ones Sure-set and 4salt! Underated at "hiding the salami" ROFLMAO! The question becomes - what was the criteria of that rating in the first place? images/icons/smile.gif

RT,
"Fender guitar amps/Marshall guitar amps (Sun amps for bass)"

Please. They are all way over rated. My Mesa Boogie Nomad absolutely blows all of them away. I know cause I also own a Marshall and a Fender. Mesa's bass amps kick some serious *** to.

'Nooky buddy, I own both reels and for the money the Curado's have the smoothest drag out there. They aren't made in the larger sizes like yours but in the 200 size I feel the Curado is a better value.
Tanner-SRV way over-rated?????? not going to even qualify that with a response images/icons/grin.gif
Osprey-Newer Ambassadeurs,you are right but I've worked on the older ones and the older Shimanos and the difference can be summed up in one word....plastic!

Anyway I am going to keep this on fishing.

All of you have great comparisons and thought you may get a chuckle from this. Talked with an 80+ year old aunt recently...she shared this with me after telling her my recent story of ocean fishing. "You have it all. Bent rods and landing many fish". She truly sees my world clearly and is one of my favorite aunties. Admiting aging is upon me, my vote goes to Beattles (Help) and Hoola Hoops (I think its falling), and may the fish goddess bless me tomorrow. images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/grin.gif
