Super User BASSclary Posted September 11, 2011 Super User Posted September 11, 2011 Since Christmas, I've been reading my scale completely wrong. I just looked at the numbers, and said, oh only 1 and 1/2 pounds? Sure feels like more. Well, those were KG. I didn't figure this out until today, when i realized those were KG, and the lb's were hidden in really small numbers on the outer perimeter. So my average for this year is not 1.5 lbs, its about 3- 3.5, Give or take a bit. Thank you Berkeley for making a scale that confused me and my Dad for 9 months So make sure you know to read your scale!!!! 1 Quote

endless Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I did that with those cheap sprig dial like ones I think made by Eagle claw. I kept reading the KG on there but didn't matter it was wrong anyways so I ditch it for the $20 Berkley from Walmart. I made sure that's right for as LB and KG went. So far it seem to be pretty good to me. Quote

jorilo Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 You do not need a scale to tell the differnce between a 1.5 pound bass & 3 pound bass. Quote
bwell Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 You do not need a scale to tell the differnce between a 1.5 pound bass & 3 pound bass. Or a 7lb bass to a 13lb bass. 1 Quote

I've been learning weight/size ratio with kg. I thought they were lbs. I just never noticed. I can tell the difference between 1.5 and 3 lb bass. Quote
