Alright, let’s talk about them electronic fishin’ scales. You know, the things you use to weigh your catch. I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two, and I can tell ya what’s what.
First off, why do you even need one of these things? Well, if you’re like me, you just wanna know how big that fish is! Sometimes it looks big, sometimes it looks small, but the scale don’t lie, ya know? And if you’re in one of them fishin’ tournaments, well, you gotta have one. Them fellas weigh every little fish, and the biggest catch wins the prize.
Now, there’s different kinds of scales, I hear. Some are digital, fancy ones with the numbers poppin’ up on a little screen. They say them digital ones are more accurate, down to the little bits and pieces of a pound. Like, one percent of a pound, whatever that means. Sounds mighty precise to me. Then there’s the old-fashioned ones, with the spring and the little needle that points to the weight. They ain’t as fancy, but they work alright too. They show you the weight in chunks, like a quarter pound or half a pound.
So, which one should you get? Well, that depends on what you need it for. If you’re just fishin’ for fun, a simple one might do ya just fine. But if you’re serious about it, or if you’re in them tournaments, you might wanna get a good digital one. They say the Major League Fishin’ fellas use somethin’ called a Brecknell MLF Tournament Fish Scale. Sounds fancy, huh? They say it’s real accurate and it turns off by itself so you don’t waste the battery.
- Accuracy is important: You want a scale that tells you the truth, not some made-up number.
- It gotta be tough: Fishin’ ain’t always gentle, so your scale needs to be able to take a bump or two.
- Easy to use: You don’t want somethin’ complicated when you’re out on the water. Just wanna weigh the fish and get back to fishin’.
- Big enough for your fish: If you’re catchin’ big ‘uns, you need a scale that can handle the weight. Some scales can only weigh little fish, some can weigh big ones, so make sure you get the right size.
I seen some scales with extra stuff too. Like, a tape measure built right in. That’s handy, ’cause then you can measure how long the fish is too. And some of ’em are waterproof, which is a good thing, ’cause things get wet when you’re fishin’. You don’t want it breakin’ down on ya just ‘cause it got splashed.
And don’t forget about the price. Them fancy scales can cost a pretty penny, but you can find cheaper ones too. Just gotta figure out what you need and how much you wanna spend. I seen some for just a few dollars, and some that cost hundreds. It all depends on what you want.
There’s lots of brands out there too. I heard of Rapala, Bubba, Smith’s, LEM, and a whole bunch of others. They all make different kinds of scales, so you gotta do your homework and figure out which one is right for you. Read them reviews, see what other folks are sayin’. That’s what I do.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about them electronic fishin’ scales. Just remember, get a good one, take care of it, and it’ll help you weigh them fish for years to come. And the most important thing, have fun out there on the water! Catchin’ fish is what it’s all about, ain’t it?
Now, I ain’t no fisherman myself, but my grandson, he loves it. And when he comes back, he always shows me pictures of his catches, big and small. And sometimes, he brings them back to eat. Fresh fish is a blessing. And he uses a scale too. I always tell him, respect nature and it will take care of you. I just hope he catches more fish, not just for him but for us too. The fish market is so expensive these days. And it is a good way for him to stay out of trouble too.
In conclusion, whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, an electronic fishing scale is a handy tool to have. Just remember to choose one that’s accurate, durable, and easy to use. And don’t forget to have fun out there!
