Pocket size set of digitals. For those elusive personal pb's should they ever put in an appearance. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

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 .

Re: what do you use to weigh your fish?
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.

Re: what do you use to weigh your fish?
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
