Best Portable Digital Scale

[Mike H]

The time has finally come to replace my digital scale and I was wondering which one you considered the best and why?

I'm looking for one that is accurate and will last more than one season.

Thanks all.

I have no idea what the best one is, but Ill report on my Rapala digital scale. I find it weighs in light, and often runs the battery down quickly. I have two other scales, based on a spring setup and while I use them less often, I suspect they would be prone to being inaccurate as well.

the berkley 15 pound scale is what I use. you can change the battery yourself and it has been a great scale

I have two, a cul-m-rite and unit I bought at Kmart for around 12 bucks and uses a 9v battery. Tested both at home with a 10lb weight and both were spot on. My advise - don't spend a lot of money, test at home often and change batteries when needed. Testing at home will give you confidence that your getting the right reading on the water.

I've been using the xtools digital scale and it has worked great.

minus 1 for XTools.......I hate mine. Dang thing has never been "dead on" and doesn't cull correctly. I only use the most accurate weighing device there is now........a BALANCE BEAM.

You catch that many fish that you need a balance beam Harry ?

The X-Tools Grip N Weigh pro series looks good for tournament anglers.
I use the Ultrasport 30 from Jennings.

This is a very accurate , good quality, compact hand held digital scale with a tape measure. The key to digital scale accuracy is the battery life. I have used this scale for 2 years without any issues, very accurate within .01lb.
