Cheap fishing scale

[moguy1973]

If anyone is looking for a cheap fishing scale I found out about using these over on another fishing site.  They are luggage scales and they work great if you have a Fish Grips or similar to hook onto the hook to weight the fish.  They aren't waterproof by any imagination but they are cheap enough to get a few in case one gets wet and stops working.  They run off one AAA battery too so it's easy to keep them running.  I opted for these because the flat coin batteries I needed for my other Berkley scale were going to cost about as much as one of these scales did.  They are really accurate for what they are too.  They weighed 1lb and 2lb exercise weights within a few hundredths each time I tested them.  They even lock in the weight on the screen after it achieves the weight.  Well worth the $5.45.
