Which digital scale?

[chillydigits]

I would like to add a scale to my gear, I see the older discontinued Berkley digital scales get rave reviews. The new Berkley digitals get poor reviews. So which scale do you use? And or which scale would you recommend? Thanks Fred

Im lucky and purchased one of the 100# Berkley tec scales before they were discontinued. I have used the Quarrow scales and like them too. I also have a 50# berkley scale that has never failed me and weighs right on with my 100# scales.

I too have a berkley 50#. I got it last year it works great. Or so I think it does.

I know a few guys who use these and swear by them. They are very accurate from what I here. Hell for 15 Bucks you can't loose. It has a calibration mode also so if it gets off you can recalibrate. I'm not endorsing this product because I've never used one but I going to order me one and give it a shot. Do not loose the instructions because calibration mode is a little detailed. it uses a larger round watch type battery which I prefer using AA or AAA because I keep a bag full in my tackle bag.

I picked up a 110lb digital hang scale from American Weigh. Tarable, weighs in a few units, and has hold and max pull settings. Can be re-calibrated easily and is accurate to within 20 grams, guaranteed. Not a bad scale for 45 bucks.

is it the same one chuck posted joe? or do you know of a different one?

i have the eagle claw 88lb scale but i dont like the pencil scale designs. weighs very accurate though

[bigcatjoe]

Mines a little bit different, but weighs the same range. Very similar, maybe a newer/older model?

thanks
i think i am gonna try one out. looks way easier to hold and read than mine

I also have the new Mustad 50lb. I just won it on sept.3. it is just like the berkley. I havent seen any problem so far. and it takes AA instead of 9V,

I have out of town in Arkansas for work this week. Thanks for the suggestions, I went ahead and ordered a scale from American weights today.

Let Us Know How It Turns Out For You.

I finally got to try out the PT110 scale I picked up from American Weight Scale. Unfortunately it wasn't on a Flathead, it did a fine job weighting the 6 and the 8 lb channel cats I caught at Knox last night. The red back light on the LCD display made for easy reading in the dark.

These little digital scales are available on Ebay. Very accurate and economical
and run on AAA batteries. Rated up to 100 lbs so no problem knowing weight on trophy fish.


I have a couple and the one I use has been modified, I cut off the little hook
on the bottom and added 2 S hooks to make it stronger and easier to hook
weigh sling. At this price ($6.85) there is no reason for people to "guess"
the weight of their flathead

[mexicanthreat]

I now also have a mustad 50# which i did use on a flathead, great display, easy to operate. and a cheap price

I think at some point a 50 pound scale could disappoint flathead fishermen.



Then again you could be a Minnesota flathead guy and say
48 X 37 and guess at weights
