I've been reading and learning since I found this group and I thought I'd
throw this out there -

My son in law (main partner / competitor) and I both got the 50lb Rapala
Sportman Scales at BPS this past Christmas ...
we went to use them this week as we finally started getting some bites ...
BOTH are DEAD. (At home to test I hung a 4lb
bag of sugar and all I got was 0 lb 0 oz) ... I called BPS where I bought
them and they said they had about a dozen come
back to them that day alone ... I just replaced mine with the new 50 lb
Berkley Unit ... and it seems to work (it read 4lb 0oz)
.... plus get this ... it actually comes with instructions. ... I really
expected better from the Rapala ...

I'm looking forward to hearing the results of the MTC ...

"Seeins how" this is all for fun ..... I'll be using a simple hand held
Rapala scales for the "weigh ins" at the MTC next weekend at Edgar Evins.

If
anyone has something more accurate they wish for me to use ...... bring

them
along.

What type scales do you use for weighing your fish? I'm having a problem
coming up with anything fairly accurate.
Thanks
