About this deal

Well, it’s certainly hard to re-invent the wheel when it comes to scales but Avid have thrown a lot of effort into making these ones both useful and long lasting. OVERVIEW:Unlike the other scales on test, these feature a proper set of arms (‘True Grip’ Wychwood calls them) to help achieve a better reading. The ‘Dual Screen’ model allows you to see the weight reading regardless of what way round you’re holding the scales. A ‘Memory’ function and in-built night display are neat extras. This all depends on the size of the fish you're catching. For fish under 20lb, it is fairly easy for the majority of anglers to just lift the fish up via the eye/loop on the scales and get an accurate reading. However, after that weight, the lifting can become strenuous, especially if you can only use one or two fingers to lift the scales, which can lead to shaking, causing the weight to fluctuate. You can either buy scales that have weigh handles attached or use a tripod/weigh bar to help take the strain and allow you to read the weight accurately, especially important if you catch a large fish when fishing alone. Dial scale: A scale that uses a needle or dial to show the weight, an internal spring mechanism stretches when weight is applied which turns the needle, the bigger the weight the further the needle moves.

With a maximum weighing capacity of 60lb, these are sufficient for your local lake, but not so much if you fish over in Europe regularly. OVERVIEW:Electric car: Tesla. Vacuum cleaner: Dyson. Fishing scales: Reuben. They are your go-to brand for reliability and heritage. In fact, these were the very model of scales that weighed Dean Fletcher’s 2016 British record—and were 100% bang on when they were tested at Weights and Measures. OVERVIEW:Similar in design to the Avid Digital Scales, with the fold-out arms and top hook, but not quite as compact and these don’t come supplied with a neoprene case. The power-saving feature that automatically turns off after 60 seconds of inactivity and battery life indicator are neat features. The Avid Digital Scales from Avid have been designed to make to job of accurately recording fish weight an easier task. The Avid Carp Digital Scales have been designed to make weighing big fish an easier task. These heavy-duty fishing scales feature a super-strong stainless steel frame encased in a reinforced over-moulded body, and every effort has been made for this product not only to withstand the stresses of fishing but give accurate readings with ease!

It is also important to buy a set of scales that are capable of weighing the fish you are looking to catch. If you're an avid roach angler, then a set of scales that weigh up to 10lb would be a great choice. They provide the finesse for accurate weighing of smaller fish and if you bottom them out with a roach, you wouldn't care anyway. If you like to fish for large fish like carp or catfish, a set of scales that can weigh in excess of 100lb are required, just make sure the scales you choose are suitable for the fish you're targeting. Glossary It then really comes down to what your budget is and how brand loyal you are, as most of the scales carry the same features. The cheaper models don’t have the ‘Memory’ feature, so if that’s something that is important to you, then the Reubens, Kordas, and Wychwoods with their 100% accuracy reading could be a good choice. However, do remember that those first two models are the most expensive on test. This is a question that comes up a lot, especially with those anglers that have a lot of faith in dial scales. When first released on the market, they weren't great. However, they are now as accurate, if not more accurate, than a dial scale, and are far more reputable than they once were. So, rest assured, as long as you buy a quality set, they will read true.

Weigh bar: A strong metal bar, that can be slid through the eye on a set of scales to help lift up big fish much more easily, by giving anglers something to hold onto more comfortably. The Digital Scales from Avid have been designed to make to job of accurately recording fish weight an easier task. Feature a super strong stainless steel frame in cased in a reinforced over moulded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish. The built-in fold out arms are also made from super strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over moulded sleeves. We really like the look of the built-in fold-out stainless steel arms that benefit from ergonomic reinforced sleeves, allowing you to get a firm and secure grip when lifting up the scales. The built-in fold-out arms are also made from super-strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over molded sleeves.Each of the scales was hung and zeroed on a Nash Weighing Tripod, and then tested three times to see if there was any variation in the results achieved. There’s no human element in this test—just pure scientific fact. Here’s how each of the scales got on… Scales come in all shapes and sizes, with some having the ability to weigh over 100lb and others being more delicate for a more accurate reading with smaller fish. There are two main types of scales you can opt for, either digital or dial scales. The dial scales have been around for decades and are widely used by anglers all over the world, however, the digital revolution has hit scales and many anglers are turning to 'digi scales' for a more accurate, easy to read option.
