Tlaz Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Looking to buy a lipper / scale. Will be for weighng bass however also want the lipper function for pickerel / pike. Any recommendations? Thanks Quote
BradH Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I'd skip them altogether. I weigh fish in the net and subtract the weight of the net, if you plan to release them anyway. A mesh laundry bag works good for bass. You can use a spring or digital scale for that stuff. For lipping pike I use these. I don't use them to support the weight of the fish, just to aid in hook removal. They float when they get tossed overboard. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Tools/Pliers-Grippers-Hook-Removers%7C/pc/104793480/c/104720580/sc/104505480/The-Fish-Grip-Fish-Holder/738192.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Ffishing-fishing-tools-pliers-grippers-hook-removers%2F_%2FN-1100396%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104505480%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104793480%253Bcat104720580&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104720580%3Bcat104505480 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 27, 2013 Super User Posted March 27, 2013 Boga. While I have a knock off, I'd second this recommendation. Boga is on my "eventually buy" list. Quote
jignfule Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Boga. I too have bought the knock-offs with very poor results. Stick with boga Quote
rbreedi1 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I use an Xtools scale.. I love it but I'm not sure if they make them anymore? Quote
Tlaz Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks for the input everyone. Looks like Boga is hands down favorite. wasn't planning to spend 120 on a scale but hey, you only live once right? Thanks Tom Quote

Super User tomustang Posted March 28, 2013 Super User Posted March 28, 2013 As long as you don't lose it the boga will last a lifetime. If it got lost it would have been YOLO'd Quote
