Rapala digital scale accuracy?

[Kctrapper]

Anybody use one of these? How accurate are they? This one was 14 1/2"s and stout:

Heres what the scale said:

I weighed her again when I got home and got 1.71#s then. Can a 14 1/2" fish weigh 1.74#s or is my scale jacked up ?

Its hard to say but I had a 14 inch that went 1.38 on my new Rapala

My 14" crappie always weigh 2# i don't carry any scales might be the reason.........

sounds right to me

Hang a pound of hamburger, or some other known weight on it as a test

We must fish the same hole, I catch 2#'rs all the time. I ought to weigh em.

I have carried a scale for years and don't think I have ever caught any thing big enough to get the hanger hook in the mouth.

Fluid ounces aren't the same, JR. But calibrating your scale to that could garner some interesting fish weights!!

14 1/2 inch fesh at 1.7 pounds is a stud.
