The Compleat Angler Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have a set of Reuben Heaton dials, 60lb x 1oz, I bought them nearly 30 years ago, and they never missed a beat, I treated them to a service a couple of years ago, and they are like brand new again now. When I sent them for the service, I bought a set of RH 7000 digitals (132lb) they are superb, and I recently bought the smaller RH 9000 digitals (55lb) for when going light or stalking, also superb. As much as I love the dials, I now find myself mainly using the digitals. Where scales are concerned, I personally would only buy RH or Salter but, I hear good things about the Fox digitals, especially the latest version.

Old school Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Not sure I trust my scales anymore, my Reuben Heaton we’re spot on 25 years but have been lying in a bag for long long time! So what would you guys recommend? What about digital ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1985 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 The first thing I would recommend is zero them and then attach a weight of some description to see if they are still viable/reading correctly, you could send them off to r h and have them serviced.....not sure on cost. I have whychwood digital t bar scales.....worth a look if you want to go down the digital route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
