When I was shopping for them on-line a couple months ago, I couldn't find one that didn't have a bunch of bad reviews. Not accurate, quit working ext. I do want a good dependable one. My old Zebco, the spring loaded scale, still tests out perfect with a five pound weight. But only goes to 8.
I've never said this before, I loved those two guys and wouldn't want to bad mouth them, it really isn't so bad, a lot of fishermen exaggerate. lol But my mentors, the Mortensen brothers were extreme exagerators. So I made it a point to weigh a bunch of cats back them to learn the truth. I have always been able to handle with one hand cats up to 6 lbs. But back then we rarely caught them bigger. They called five pounders ten. When I caught my biggest one that I guessed at 13, they tried to tell me it was over 20.
