Daniel My Brother Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I've made an incredible fishing discovery in my search for the next big thing. It's called a scale and it will weigh your fish for you! You might want to start saving up now, because it will cost you a whopping $6.49. It's small enough to fit in your tackle box, it doesn't need batteries, and it even comes with a tape measure! Maybe you think you don't need a scale. After all, why weigh a fish when you can ask your buddies at BassResouce to make a guess? Because, surprisingly, some people get offended when we don't guess high enough. Shocking, huh? Up next on Incredible Fishing Discoveries' is a device that will capture the image of your fish with the click of a button! Quote

Newman12Fan Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 And for the real cheap people like me, you can get the same thing without the fancy yellow logo for $4.96 at Wal-mart! Quote
Eddie Munster Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Wow; you mean men sometimes think something of theirs is bigger than it actually is?!!! GET OUT OF TOWN! : Of course the flip side of that is that when it comes to someone else's 'something' it's usually thought of as smaller than it actually is. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 No sense having a scale that's not accurate. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 No sense having a scale that's not accurate. seriously!!! trash that BPS spring scale junk and get yourself a nice berkley digital scale. mine is acurate within an ounce. Quote
mike bat Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 go digi ... ^^^ i agree ^^^ have a berkley love it Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I was thinking of starting a topic with a very similar title... I discovered a new cool lure that I think will catch on. Have you all heard about the senko? Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted June 20, 2008 Super User Posted June 20, 2008 Great post! Very funny, and so true. I'd be darn wary of the $6.49 price though, because the next big discovery will be a GOOD scale. And even these need re-calibrating every now and then. Quote
Jake. Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Lol, Great post. Who knew there was such a device. Quote
wagn Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 i used to use a scale, but i think it was cheating on me When I weighted fish on my scale they started weighing a pound under what i think they should have weighed. And when i weighed my friend's fish, they always seemed to way a pound more then i think they should have Quote
JigNBig Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Get one of the lip grips. They work great for weighing fish and when you fish around big stripers, catfish, and drum you have to have them. Quote
guitarkid Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Wow I have never caught fish, I get bites but they just spit it are'nt you supposed to use a hook or something? Maybe once I start catching I will use a scale. -searoach Quote
broncoboxer Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Great post. I thought the same thing. Thus I purchased a Berkley Lip Grip with digital scale. Hopefully I'll get to test it out on some bass tomorrow. Quote
BassinBoy Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Ya well had a friend try this and it works by a spring. Well the spring was way off....go figure :-? its a spring! Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted June 21, 2008 Super User Posted June 21, 2008 Glenn, hey Glenn! THE SECRETS OUT. Delete the thread, I repeat "DELETE THE THREAD!!!" Quote
vicdotcom Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I use the very same scale for many other purposes also. I test to see how high my drag is set. Just tie and pull. I also use it to test my trigger breaks on my rifles and handguns. My wife uses it also to weigh food for recipies! It has as many uses as duct tape and wd40! Vic Quote

NOTHING has as many uses as duct tape.................NOTHING. Duct tape can be used in beauty pagents (to hold stuff in place), home repair, car repair, medical emergencies for rednecks like me, dating, etc...... Duct tape > fishing scale. Quote

Wonder if we can figure out a way tp weigh our fish using duct tape LOL Quote
