Fishing Scales

What scales satisfy your fish weighing needs?

I have been using this spring scale from the 1980's. I think it is time to pick up an up to date one.   :-/

I use the X-Tools electronic scale.  Very nice

I'm with RW.  I love the Boga grip.  Although this little number looks really really nice.

robert, is that thing even a scale? looks like its just a lip grip.

i use a cheesy rapala 15lb digital scale. its accurate to some amount. my dad and i preformed "lab tests" on it by weighing freeweights of various sizes and the results were strange....every time for each different weight it came up 4oz. shy. is that weird? i thought it was.

Yup. It weighs just like a Boga.

I would just say this on gripping scales: don't get a Rapala! Why? Because, If you are a CPR fisherman, their rotating jaw grips tear up the fish too much. IMO. I only use this one now (it was a gift!) for lakers or pike.

I tried a variety of digitals and never found one that would give the same reading twice on a fish.  I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a Boga.  I would do it again.
