Ring King Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I need to pick up a new scale to keep in the kayak on my outings. I've seen where the Salter Brecknell is the only digital hand scale that can be certified by the IGFA. While I'm not anticipating breaking the California state record or world record anytime soon I still want a good dependable scale. Who here has used the Salter-Brecknell Hand Held Digital Scale? I'm looking at the 55lb model that measures in .05lb increments. Would you all consider this scale "The one to have"? It seems to retail anywhere from $70-$90 depending on where you order from.

slider250 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Best and most accurate hand held digital scale on the market... I got one given to me by calif. DFG long ago and it's the only scale DFG uses when shocking, tagging and releasing. Get it if you want the best!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanhick Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thats the only scale we can get certified and use for our state fishing awards program. Tough to spend a 100 bucks on a scale though. Does it float just in case it ends up overboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZ Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Have had a Salter-Brecknell Hand Held for years..... One of the best, use it during the ice season too for Pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Love the scale. Absolutely awesome But... Luke V turned me onto the Mustad scale which is very accurate and super easy to cary around. It has given me the exact same weight as the Salter every time. For a third of the price, you can't go wrong -Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
