best quality, cheapest hand held scale
 

I'd love to be weighing my fish and was thinking about a Boga but $200+ for the 60lb scale is nuts to me. Anyone have any suggestions?

wow, that is cheap, looks like I got what i need,

I have both of those and that digital scale is a great device and I even weighted a fish to 70# on it with good accuracy. The limit is 50 though. I keep it in the truck or garage, I really don't want to get it wet on a boat.

A bogo is a rugged tool. You will have it forever and is a nice way for anglers to hold fish for a photo they otherwise don't want to touch. I have two, one for the beach and one for the boat.

I like the 30# bogo for the beach because at night I can slip a scale on a what looks like a 30+ and tell without even looking at it by if it bottoms the scale or not. IMO the worst part of bogos are trying to READ the damn thing. The best part is they are accurate and rugged.

Alright sandman, you don't just throw out a reference to a 70 lb fish and leave it at that.

Details please....

I put my sons Tuna on it....I wish I had a surf bass that big but I am too old...maybe in my next lifetime.

I remember hearing about that. Nice fish! Another one for the wall.
