New scales

[The Compleat Angler]

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.

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?

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
