    Postal scales. About $40 and very accurate. Will get down to 1/10th oz.

    I went to an office supply place and bought a set of scales like postal scales that weighs to the .001 place.

    I don't use scales. If I did, then I might have to lie about my big fish. I ain't no liar.

    postal scales are what most of the tourney fishermen I know use. like Bill says, down to 1/10 of an oz. thats 160th of a lb. more accurate than one what ways in 100ths of a lb.

    well postal scale's is prolly what i will go with...are there any trick's or any modification's you make so that the fish will stay put. do you use a container and tare it off of the scale. or just lay the fish right on the scale and wait for it to quit shaking and wiggl'n...guess i could alway's use double face tape to hold it still:D thanx guy's for your input. i appreciate it!

    how accurate do you need the scales to be?if your in fishing contest where 1/10th makes a difference then the postal deals may be what you want,,but if it is just recreational fishing then the Berkley ones are fine,,they have 1 for about $40.00 that comes with marker tags and also will keep track of the total and also will tell what the lowest fish is for culling in fishing contest's,,, jmo

    I suggest shoving a couple- or 3 One oz. egg sinkers down fish's mouth, Stops him from flopping around Quick................

    Yep. Get yourself a plastic container with a lid. When you are not using your scales. it makes a great storage box.
