.........Oooooorrrrr.....

Maybe glass rig owners are having a tough time accepting that SOME Al rigs might have caught up with many of their beloved gold plated and diamond encrusted glass rigs. And, as glass has always been considered the best and finest option, the gold standard, that it's inevitable that the glass vs tin is the appropriate comparison. Also, any comparison of a high end Al to glass brings out some glass owners to stomp and skoff off at the insult regarding the comparison.

It's funny, I don't see very many glass threads where tin owners interject themselves and are commenting on their rigs.

However, both here and on BBC, it seems to be Ithe other way around.... in my opinion anyway. Start a thread about a high end Al boat and it's almost inevitable that a few glass owners will jump in and denigrate the boat in question and/or Al boats in general....all in a thread started regarding an Al rig......

Don't get me wrong, I think the finest bass boat currently manufactured is a Basscat. Glass boats, many of them anyway, are most probably the best option for most missions....more comfortable, driest, etc, but, it's certainly not the 100% lock that it was in the past.

The original post asked for input between glass and aluminum. You seem a little upset.

Looks like I ruffled a few feathers

I have owned glass and tin. They both have there plus and minuses. Glass boats are obviously the higher end boat. But you sure pay for that. And that’s ok. I can get places in a tin boat that no glass boat can go because the glass boat is bigger and heavy. Which makes it a plus in high wind or on big water. But geeze as long as your catching fish. And you can catch fish out of both. So it boils down to price point and features and fishing how you want to fish. The best option is to have both. Most of the pros do have both. And most Pros that are fishing out a tin on tour are shallow water guys. And they can out fish 97 % of the people writing opinions on here.

Not sure why people have to be so snarky when this come up. I sure some one will kick me in the nuts for this post. Lol. That’s ok I will just mark that person as an a-hole and move on.

Lots of great stuff on both fiber and tin boats these days. Happy fishing.

You didn't "ruffle" anything.....you just posted anoooooother ignorant diss of aluminum boats and i, for one, am tiiiiiiired of em.

Do yourself a favor, go ride in all the high end Al boats available today, Express/Avid/Vexus/Gator Trax, and yes, Lund, etc. Then post a detailed critique comparing em to your glass boat. Then at least your comments might have validity and CONTRIBUTE to the conversation vs, well, nothing.....

Owned an Xpress years ago, also rode in and fished out of too many to list. Pretty much been around boats my whole life and I ain't no spring chicken. Never said I didn't like tin boats. Love em and they have their place. But I still stand by my comment that too many tin rig owners think they ride and handle just as well as a glass boat.
