I WANT TO BUY A FISH SCALE. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

[instapump416]

I would like to purchase a fish scale.

Can you guys recommend a good quality scale?

I'll be heading over to basspro tomorrow to see what they have to offer. But from what I've read on their website, most scales they offer have bad reviews.

I'll second the bogagrip. That's what I'm going to purchase anyway.

For carps? dont use a bogagrip on carp or other large fish. Use this http://www.carpkit.com/products/Korda-Limited-Edition-Dial-Scales.html in combination with a weigh sling or net.

Personaly tho, I use this.... much cheaper than the reuban heaton, maybe not as accurate but hey, good enough for me.

Thanks for the input guys.

I went to basspro today and I passed on what they currently have stocked.

I think I'll save up for a bogagrip, I can always use a bogagrip + net to weigh heavier fish.

Plus it'll be used for mainly bass.

Yeah that's what I was planning too Pump. Bogagrip and net for larger fish


Ok, so for some reason I had not looked up the bogagrip to see the price. 30lb for $130! Damn!

bogas were designed to take a SW pounding not fw, ive had mine for years and not even a sign of rust.
that includes swimming in seawater, dragging it in dry sand, getting soaked in surf breaks, using it as a billyclub, using it as a drawscale to test reel drags. etc.

all gears and springs inside still butter smooth.
and i never had any fish fall off after it gripped.
the price is steep, but you pay for what you get.
and you can get it certified with IGFA.
