Rob's suggestion was the first thought that I had. Using the tare feature would be an easy way to optimize the use of the scale. I was thinking that the Frabill EZ Checker, attached to the scale and tared out, might be a good way use a scale and measure the length of the fish.

I have a Normark 10 lb. that is very accurate. Had it for years and is still running strong. I would think the one Rob mentioned would be a good choice.

I used to fly fish for records here in Texas and found the Normark and Berkley scales to be several ounces off the actual weight of the fish. Just because a scale is digital doesn't mean that it will be accurate. The only ones that I trusted were the ones in grocery stores, feed stores or tackle stores that sold minnows by the pound.

Welcome Jeff...... It's small enough for float tube fishing too... Approx 5" Long X 2.5" Wide X 1" Thick... Very light

<p>Hey thanks Rob! When I'm out at Perris in my 'tube (which has been a lot lately), I get a lot of fish where I'm just basically guessing their weights. I would like to get a scale that is not too expensive and is small and accurate. Jim's got that gold spring scale on the boat, which he says is accurate, might get one of those, but your Normark sounds good, Where did you get yours? </p>
<p>When are we going fishing? </p>

<p>Hey Jeff...</p>
<p>I have a Digital Scale made by Normark... Runs on a a single 9 volt battery... weighs fish up to 5 lbs..</p>
<p>Very accurate and the great thing is it has a TARE feature which enables you to weigh the fish in a net... bag or even a bucket... I prefer this method because I hate to see any fisherman sticking a hook scale into a fishes mouth or gills. Takes a while to get used to it because unlike a regular scale the spring doesn't actually move... seems weird at first but…</p>

<p>I have a cheap Berkley digital scale. I think it was $19.95 on sale at Cabela's. It weighs in .lb. and .oz. I didn't realize it just weighed in the full ounce. This is fine for most people but some like a scale that shows hundredths. i. e. 2.68 rather than 2.7</p>
