Description

We really like the look of the built-in fold-out stainless steel arms that benefit from ergonomic reinforced sleeves, allowing you to get a firm and secure grip when lifting up the scales.

The built-in fold out arms are also made from super strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over moulded sleeves. Feature a super strong stainless steel frame incased in a reinforced over moulded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish. Scales come in all shapes and sizes, with some having the ability to weigh over 100lb and others being more delicate for a more accurate reading with smaller fish. There are two main types of scales you can opt for, either digital or dial scales. The dial scales have been around for decades and are widely used by anglers all over the world, however, the digital revolution has hit scales and many anglers are turning to 'digi scales' for a more accurate, easy to read option. The best fishing scales at a glance... EASE OF USE:Very easy. On/Off button in the middle of the scales and then you simply push the ‘Reset/Zero’ button once you’ve attached your sling. Switching between pounds and kilos is extremely easy too.This all depends on the size of the fish you're catching. For fish under 20lb, it is fairly easy for the majority of anglers to just lift the fish up via the eye/loop on the scales and get an accurate reading. However, after that weight, the lifting can become strenuous, especially if you can only use one or two fingers to lift the scales, which can lead to shaking, causing the weight to fluctuate. You can either buy scales that have weigh handles attached or use a tripod/weigh bar to help take the strain and allow you to read the weight accurately, especially important if you catch a large fish when fishing alone. Each of the scales was hung and zeroed on a Nash Weighing Tripod, and then tested three times to see if there was any variation in the results achieved. There’s no human element in this test—just pure scientific fact. Here’s how each of the scales got on… Supplied in a neoprene protective case, it looks as though the Avid Digital Scales are designed to last and should certainly see you through plenty of bountiful sessions for many years to come.

This is a question that comes up a lot, especially with those anglers that have a lot of faith in dial scales. When first released on the market, they weren't great. However, they are now as accurate, if not more accurate, than a dial scale, and are far more reputable than they once were. So, rest assured, as long as you buy a quality set, they will read true. EASE OF USE:Very little we can say differently here, as they’re exactly the same as the Reubens. The large LCD display (blue for the Reuben and of course, fluoro green for Korda!) makes reading weights etc. nice and easy. OVERVIEW:Electric car: Tesla. Vacuum cleaner: Dyson. Fishing scales: Reuben. They are your go-to brand for reliability and heritage. In fact, these were the very model of scales that weighed Dean Fletcher’s 2016 British record—and were 100% bang on when they were tested at Weights and Measures. EASE OF USE:Three buttons to carry out three processes: On/Off; Tare (to zero your sling); and ‘Unit’, which allows you to switch between pounds and kilos. Just like the Avid scales, very simple to operate. Tripod: A device used to help weigh fish. Usually metal, it is a 3-legged design and fused at the top with a hook attached. The scales are placed on the hook and the tripod takes the weight, allowing hands-free weighing of the fish.

The main thing you should look for in a set of scales is reliability, choosing a brand that has an excellent reputation for producing accurate scales is by far the most important factor. There is little to no point weighing a fish if the weight the scales read are completely inaccurate, so getting a good set is paramount if you want to record your catches correctly. The Avid Carp Digital Scales have been designed to make weighing big fish an easier task. These heavy-duty fishing scales feature a super-strong stainless steel frame encased in a reinforced over-moulded body, and every effort has been made for this product not only to withstand the stresses of fishing but give accurate readings with ease! With a maximum weighing capacity of 60lb, these are sufficient for your local lake, but not so much if you fish over in Europe regularly.

Capable of weighing fish up to a whopping 132lb (60kg) these specimen scales will handle carp, catfish and, well… every species you’re likely to catch in the UK, with an accurate reading in 1oz divisions. A simple three-button layout makes them super-easy to use, allowing you to change units and zero your weigh sling in all with a touch of a button. EASE OF USE:These scales follow exactly the same layout as the Prologics. The only issue we had with these was the taring, which happened just once: it kept starting at 0.20kg. And then it did go to zero for seemingly no reason! It is also important to buy a set of scales that are capable of weighing the fish you are looking to catch. If you're an avid roach angler, then a set of scales that weigh up to 10lb would be a great choice. They provide the finesse for accurate weighing of smaller fish and if you bottom them out with a roach, you wouldn't care anyway. If you like to fish for large fish like carp or catfish, a set of scales that can weigh in excess of 100lb are required, just make sure the scales you choose are suitable for the fish you're targeting. Glossary Read true: A term given when the weight a scale indicates is correct. Frequently asked questions on fishing scales

EASE OF USE:Toggling between pounds and kilos is easy—just one push of a button. Taring is equally as simple, with its own function button. We all love to catch fish, that’s why we go fishing, but on those red-letter days when you bag yourself a new PB or the target you have been angling for it is always nice to put a weight on your prize, and thanks to Avid you can now do so easily and effectively with these brand new Digital Scales. Weigh bar: A strong metal bar, that can be slid through the eye on a set of scales to help lift up big fish much more easily, by giving anglers something to hold onto more comfortably. Dial scale: A scale that uses a needle or dial to show the weight, an internal spring mechanism stretches when weight is applied which turns the needle, the bigger the weight the further the needle moves.
