one more question about scales

[livewell]

Thanks For All The Replies On The Scales. I Looked On Ebay And They Had Several Digital Scales For Home Office And Warehouse For Shipping Small To Medium Packages. They Had One With A 35lb Max One With 50lb Max And One With 75lb Max, All From Buy It Now At 6$ To 20$ And They Say They Are Accurate To 2ounces. Would This Be Something Worth Trying For Fish.

The weigh max i see there should be a gd scale. They are accurate to 0.2 ounce and have good features. Just remember that with the price you will also have a $15 to $20 shipping price. We use this type if not brand scales at our tournys and they work very well.

Here is another thing you want to consider! You need to check and make sure that they are battery operated and 110-volt. I have a scale that is both and on one tournament the batteries were dead, I already had a power converter with me so I just plugged my converter into my truck and then plugged the scales into the power converter.

From experience the style that you want for tournaments is like this one I found on E-bay.
Item number: 130113258624 it has probably sold by now, it only had 53 min when I found it.

I hope this info helps you in your decision but if it is for a club you need to get good quality, it will pay off in the long run!

Ok I know this is OLD school BUT After YEARS of tournament fishing and seeing countless digital scale malfunction regardless of the cost or brand. I HAVE NEVER seen the old pull down grain scales let us down.There are some really accurate ones out that will stand up to lots of abuse.Also a pole stand is easy to make.
Hope this helps.
