Scales

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

Great question...

Search eBay for "Chatillon" to turn up the best scales in the
world--accurate, durable, and many are beautiful--brass bodies which
will shine like the sun. And they will hang nicely on the side of
your tackle box or boat.

"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.

I can bring the electronic scales our club uses if you want me to. A 5
Gal bucket sits on it and we put the fish in a plastic bag into the
bucket to weigh them.

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 ...

I got a Rapala ProGuide digital scale with a ten fish weight memory a week
or so ago. It didn't come with a much in the way of instructions, but there
is a card a little biger than a business cardx with everything you need to
know. I hope mine holds up better than yours. I have had bad luck with
scales. I been thinking about getting a mechaincal spring scale just
because it can't totally fail like an electronic.

I've got the same scales to take back to BPS. They read about 11oz high at 8
lbs. I read somewhere that the Berkley are suppose to be accurate within +-
..1 lb. I guess I'll give them a try.
