I need to have the tackle look like all the rest of you wannabees! lol And I'm sure one day I will catch another fish-remember I caught one at Gibson last October!

I have the scales but I don't know if they are any good -- I've never caught anything over 1.5lb since I got the scale last year. I guess the "2lb" reading actually works -- well, at least it did when I pulled on the hook.

I have the Rapala scales, but there seems to be a problem. They always show that the fish weighs much less than what I told everybody it was. Factory defect probably.

Dang, that is terrible! Maybe there is a factory rep on the board here that can help!

I have a set of Berkley scales I have had for years work great. Have weighted more baby goats with them than fish.

Toon I am SURE I have caught some 2 or 3 pounders- But they have all fallen back into water before I could find my scales!!!
