This is what I have use for many years . there is a 5 dollar model that is of better metal but the Walmart ones for a dollar work great .
I use used to use a spoon but someone recommended one of these to me a few years ago and now I scale every crappie I catch.

Many, many fish have been scaled with tablespoons, butter knifes, scalers, and even bottle caps screwed to a piece of wood or dowel. Just like the different makes and models of vehicles and boats. You have to discover what works best for you. Fortunately it’s not as expensive to dial in the the scaling utensil that fits you best. Many people feel the skin adds a lot of flavor to their catch. Good luck on your quest.
Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.
I don't understand why the skin is difficult to filet off? My electric knife slides it off like butter.

take 1 of the beaters from your hand held mixer and put it in your cordless drill. That makes the scales fly off the fish quick and easy.
I use a garden hose with a high pressure end on it. Hold the fish in your hand and blow the scales off. The water direction should be from tail of fish toward the head.
