AVID Digital Scales

Product Information

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. It then really comes down to what your budget is and how brand loyal you are, as most of the scales carry the same features. The cheaper models don’t have the ‘Memory’ feature, so if that’s something that is important to you, then the Reubens, Kordas, and Wychwoods with their 100% accuracy reading could be a good choice. However, do remember that those first two models are the most expensive on test. Increments: These are the increasing, numbered marks or lines on a dial scale that show the weight, whatever increment the needle rests on is the registered weight. The Digital Scales from Avid have been designed to make to job of accurately recording fish weight an easier task. Feature a super strong stainless steel frame in cased 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. The built-in fold out arms are also made from super strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over moulded sleeves. OVERVIEW:Similar in design to the Avid Digital Scales, with the fold-out arms and top hook, but not quite as compact and these don’t come supplied with a neoprene case. The power-saving feature that automatically turns off after 60 seconds of inactivity and battery life indicator are neat features.

The Digital Scales from Avid have been designed to make to job of accurately recording fish weight an easier task. 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. 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!

EASE OF USE:Operating—like all of the models featured—is done from three push buttons. ‘On/Off’ is enabled by pushing the ‘Power’ button for 2 (On) or 3 (Off) seconds, and you zero the scales by pushing the same button. The built-in fold out arms are also made from super strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over moulded sleeves. 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

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. Avid Carp are another company who have already released a number of new and exciting products this autumn and their digital scales are one of our favourites. 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.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. 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. 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. Feature a super-strong stainless steel frame encased in a reinforced over molded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish.

The Wychwood Digital Fishing Scales feature a ‘T’ bar design to make lifting the fish a little easier, whilst making sure this is done as safely as possible, bringing very little harm, such as scale damage, to your catch.

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. EASE OF USE:About as user-friendly as it gets. A simple On/Zero button (which you hold for 3 seconds to turn off) tares the scales and then you can either ‘Save’ or ‘Clear’. Hit the former and you can record up to 50 weights. 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…
