AVID Digital Scales

Product Information

The Avid Carp Digital Scales have been designed to make weighing big fish an easier task. These heavy-duty fishing scales feature a super-strong stainless steel frame encased in a reinforced over-moulded body, and every effort has been made for this product not only to withstand the stresses of fishing but give accurate readings with ease! OVERVIEW:Electric car: Tesla. Vacuum cleaner: Dyson. Fishing scales: Reuben. They are your go-to brand for reliability and heritage. In fact, these were the very model of scales that weighed Dean Fletcher’s 2016 British record—and were 100% bang on when they were tested at Weights and Measures. Read true: A term given when the weight a scale indicates is correct. Frequently asked questions on fishing scales OVERVIEW:Unlike the other scales on test, these feature a proper set of arms (‘True Grip’ Wychwood calls them) to help achieve a better reading. The ‘Dual Screen’ model allows you to see the weight reading regardless of what way round you’re holding the scales. A ‘Memory’ function and in-built night display are neat extras.

RANGE:Choose between pounds or kilos, and they weigh up to 88lb (0.1lb increments) or 40kg (10g increments). Feature a super strong stainless steel frame incased in a reinforced over molded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish. Every angler should have a reliable, accurate set of scales - after all, you never know when that fish of a lifetime is going to end up biting at your carp fishing rods! Feature a super strong stainless steel frame incased in a reinforced over moulded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish.Avid Carp are another company who have already released a number of new and exciting products this autumn and their digital scales are one of our favourites. Bottom out: This is a term given when scales are overloaded and go past their maximum weigh point, for example, a 10kg weight placed on a set of 8kg scales. This all depends on the size of the fish you're catching. For fish under 20lb, it is fairly easy for the majority of anglers to just lift the fish up via the eye/loop on the scales and get an accurate reading. However, after that weight, the lifting can become strenuous, especially if you can only use one or two fingers to lift the scales, which can lead to shaking, causing the weight to fluctuate. You can either buy scales that have weigh handles attached or use a tripod/weigh bar to help take the strain and allow you to read the weight accurately, especially important if you catch a large fish when fishing alone. The built-in fold out arms are also made from super strong stainless steel with ergonomic reinforced over molded sleeves.

Tripod: A device used to help weigh fish. Usually metal, it is a 3-legged design and fused at the top with a hook attached. The scales are placed on the hook and the tripod takes the weight, allowing hands-free weighing of the fish. It then really comes down to what your budget is and how brand loyal you are, as most of the scales carry the same features. The cheaper models don’t have the ‘Memory’ feature, so if that’s something that is important to you, then the Reubens, Kordas, and Wychwoods with their 100% accuracy reading could be a good choice. However, do remember that those first two models are the most expensive on test. Feature a super-strong stainless steel frame encased in a reinforced over molded body, every effort has been made to ensure the Digital Scales withstand the stresses and strains required to weigh big fish. OVERVIEW:Similar in design to the Avid Digital Scales, with the fold-out arms and top hook, but not quite as compact and these don’t come supplied with a neoprene case. The power-saving feature that automatically turns off after 60 seconds of inactivity and battery life indicator are neat features. EASE OF USE:About as user-friendly as it gets. A simple On/Zero button (which you hold for 3 seconds to turn off) tares the scales and then you can either ‘Save’ or ‘Clear’. Hit the former and you can record up to 50 weights.

Supplied in a neoprene protective case, it looks as though the Avid Digital Scales are designed to last and should certainly see you through plenty of bountiful sessions for many years to come. EASE OF USE:Very little we can say differently here, as they’re exactly the same as the Reubens. The large LCD display (blue for the Reuben and of course, fluoro green for Korda!) makes reading weights etc. nice and easy. Dial scale: A scale that uses a needle or dial to show the weight, an internal spring mechanism stretches when weight is applied which turns the needle, the bigger the weight the further the needle moves. Each of the scales was hung and zeroed on a Nash Weighing Tripod, and then tested three times to see if there was any variation in the results achieved. There’s no human element in this test—just pure scientific fact. Here’s how each of the scales got on…
