Pocket size set of digitals. For those elusive personal pb's should they ever put in an appearance.

Avon scales or if I'm lazy I'll guess
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

One digital set which is very clear to see (my eyesight not as good as it used to be ) one Little Samson up to 4Lb and another Little Samson up to 7lb ,these two are now just for nostalgia .

Avons at the beginning of the season (to get my guessing eye in again ) Then I dont bother after that because I believe that a fish is after all a fish, it doesnt detract on enhance the experience of catching it just to be able to put number to it for personal reasons .
I know it might sound weird to some of you guys but thats my viewpoint

I carry a set of "Team Cormoran" digitals (The 10kg ones). I'm not sure if the battery still has power in it. I must check.

I've seen your cooking, your guessing can't be very good with ingredients.
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Re: what do you use to weigh your fish?
I made a sling from an old Drennan landing net, as for scales I got some dial ones from Aldi. I usually don't bother weighing them but I like take a picture with a digital camera which proved quite useful as I'm certain I caught a fish last summer that I had caught the previous year.

I don't use any these days it's the pleasure of catching for me,and I find if the scales are in my basket the fish stay away and hide! that's my excuse.

Re: what do you use to weigh your fish?
I also have these and I agree with what you say.Wallys-Cast wrote:Waymaster Flyweight. Accurate, easy to read and nice and light.
Wal.
However my previous set of these was sometimes giving weights well under the actual weight - discovered this when I was convinced a fish weighed more than was registering, and another angler had a nearly new set of these which confirmed it - so bought some new ones.
There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings
