Scales

[cyborx]

thats the weighing ones not the fishy ones

on my last foray onto the bank i found that my scales had self destructed, one of the levers had come adrift.

now even though i have replaced it exactly as it should be i can no longer trust them and my back up digital set also seems to have given up the ghost, so i am in the market for a new analogue set at least.

having looked around i have seen them from £15 (thompsons) to £85 (Korda Kustom), even Reubens are ranging from £40 to over £100 for god sake!!

all i want to do is weigh a fish NOT gold bullion, can anyone suggest a reasonably priced set that are reliable pleeeeze

not looking for bargain bucket level but dont fancy breaking the bank either, do they even need to be subject to carp tax, and has anyone got scales that are generic ones that have done the job?

Ive heard good things about the Korum Digitals

Korum Digital Scales

More matchman tax than carp tax

I use Grande slam scales, had them a few years now.

Around £20, but ebay might find them cheaper:

Dont bother weighing them, its only very ocassionally i weigh fish as you know, i dont usually carry scales, who cares about it, just enjoy.

i will only weigh a fish that looks like it will be a new pb bud, just nice to know.:wink:

they actually look good Hutch, Problem is i have a thing about not taking batteries out and when it can go as long as 12 months inbetween uses then that can do some damage, hence my need for analogue
