Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Product sources Accurate Fish Scales

I wonder if anyone has had this problem? I have a Normark Digital Scale to weigh fish that is calibrated perfectly at 5 lbs, but weighs low at higher weights and weighs high at lower weights. When I check it at 7.5 lbs, it is off by about 1/4 lb.
My question is has anyone had any experience with any GOOD and ACCURATE portable digital scales? I not too interested in the spring type scales because they are usually in 1/4 lb intervals. It would be nice to have a digital scale that would accurately weigh a 1 lb bluegill and also accurately weigh a 10 lb bass. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks,
Bill

That's interesting you mention the inaccuracy of your digital scale. As a fish taxidermist I have a certified scale (produce/meat scale) and have on several occasions had anglers bring in fish that were weighed on digital scales and they were weighed heavy compared to my scale.

However, I will tell you even though my scale is certified it starts to weight a little low on the higher end. A scale only has to be within a certain range to be certified. But still the fish brought in are off in my lower range too.
