thanks, is there a spring scale that you know of that is lightly calibrated for smaller fish??
I dont care all that much to weigh every **** fish I catch, but would like to check out the weight of a nice 18in rainbow or chunky bass once in a while.
i dont usually weigh fish unless they look big to me, trout until they get to 3 or 4 pounds i just measure length. the 15 pound scale in the link is similar to the older brass one i have, there are ones with finer graduations and one with 4 oz marks can be read to 2 oz if it falls between the lines, close enough for what i need from a fish scale.
