Rapala Touch Screen. Very accurate and very easy to use.

For the boat +1 on this.

I've have this out with my mate... after testing avons, digitals, weighmasters... we have both resorted to carrying DrMeter reviewed on ProductAdvisor because they are the most reliable, and the most accurate throughout the board.

This is the one I use too

Had the Rapala touch, it broke flashing all different weights, that is the 2nd rapala scale that did not last very long for me. Just bought a Accu-cull. It does not record weights and cull feature but is accurate. I did have the Cull-M-Right back in the 90s and that was excellent but the price is real high. It was great for 20 years, and finally died.

Culling beam

[DrewFlu33]

Assuming we're talking about culling scales...I used to use a Rapala Touch Screen and, while it was accurate, I felt that it was too complicated and had too many issues working properly when I had cold and/or wet hands. Went to the Rapala High Contrast version which has actual buttons in addition to being easier to see in the sun and absolutely love it. Dead on accurate - my bag in the boat reliably weighs 1/2 lb less than at weigh in (and we use a mesh bag, so there's the difference) - and it's cheaper than the Touch Screen version to boot.

Once you get it down, a scale like this makes culling so much quicker and easier. I'll balance beam them if they're within a couple hundredths for peace of mind, but can't honestly say I've ever had the balance beam "overturn" the scale.

The Catch Commander Scale is impressive and has received rave reviews from customers of ours and fishermen in general. The "no hole" feature is nice too.

Love my Catch Commander. Just had mine signed by Bryan Thrift

Rapala digital.

[ABTT]

Accu Cull,,,you’ll never regret it,get the cull tags & weight recorder as well

[John Jackson]

We use a Rapala digital scale and it's extremely accurate. We just fished a big bass tournament and it was within 1/100 of an ounce of the official tournament scale. It might not be the best but it's very accurate and has held up well.https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Rapa...QaAoWYEALw_wcB

I bought one of these Rapala scales, trying to save some money from buying another Brecknell. Checked in a metrology lab I ran, and they were 6% off on weight. So I bought another Brecknell and keep the Rapala scale for a back for when this Brecknell goes down.

You're not getting paid by the ounce you're getting paid for beating the other guy. If a scale is reasonably accurate the most important feature is repeatability. If it's an ounce over that is OK if it's still that ounce over for everybody's weights.

Yes, but, 'if' being the operative word, how would you evaluate consistency, here?

The above not withstanding, if it is off by 6%, that is too large a margin of error for me.
(i.e. I need to know if that smallmouth was truly 7# before I shell out the $500 (or whatever it is)
for my graphite mount.)

I also have a Berkley scale that is 11.5% off.
I can say I've had 2 brecknell scales and my partner has had 2 Brecknell and all 4 were dead on on calibration. Not reliable but very accurate.

I would eveluate consistency if you put a 5 pound weight on it and it read the same thing every time. Either 5 pounds or close to it, but the same thing every time. I used to work contracts with Mil-Std-45662A, I know enough to be dangerous about calibration.
