I am in the process of evaluating my population of LMB and BG for culling. The fish scale I currently have is a Rapala which is accurate when weighing objects over 2 lbs. Having tested it on various weights I found as an example, a 1 1/4 lb weight scales in at 1 lb 9 ounces, while 3 lbs of weight is spot on. I would like to accurately assign the RW to smaller fish like the BGs. What do you recommend to accurately weight fish?

Thanks for your help!

Look at baby scales. Most give you options from grams to pounds, and are very accurate. Wet the tray before you lay fish in them.

Can you post the model of your scale? I been looking all my life for a fish scale that tilts in my favor like that. can you imagine all the stories I could have by this point in my life with a scale like that! tia
