Fish weight scales

[banjo]

What do you use?
I have an old battery one that everytime I go to use it... battery's dead. Last year I threw an old metal spring scale in the boat that seemed to tell me every fish was 2 pounds exactly
Has anyone used the lip grip/scale? I like the idea of digital ones... do any shut off automatically when not in use?

You should try new battery's LOL I use the digital one by rapala

I have one of those too, is it one with the on/off rocker switch that is not protected. And you can't leave the battery disconnected until you need it, because there is just enough room in the battery compartment? I have started putting the battery in my tackle box and install it when I need it, I hate it , too time-consuming for me.

That's the one. I usually put an elastic around it to hold it in the off position... but like majic everytime I see it, it's on. I go though 3 or 4 nine volt . And now some of the digital display lines don't show... so a fish can be 6 or 8 pounds and it displays the same;-)

Yep...I have the 10lb Normark...thought it was pooched when I got swamped on Weslemkoon a few years back. But my computer guy fixed it for me. I also have the 50 lb Rapala scale. It goes to sleep when not used for a while and it's a lot easier to change the battery. I will be getting a lipper/scale shortly and will let you know if it's accurate.
