The key phrase in which a good deal of tournament administrators express just about every year is, I’m looking for the best economical fly fishing scale for my club or tournament this year. The difficulty is choosing a solution and price spectrum that suit what every single organization essentially demands in order to have a prosperous season. Without a doubt, some clubs run and hide once they discover the fees.
Ultimately, the fishing tournament or club director has to make the final call of either continuing to buy cheap office store scales every year or step up and buy a fishing tournament scale. The cost might be too high at first but if you are able to use one system for several years, the choice becomes obvious. Of course the size of the club and the tournament dictate a lot when it comes to the actual budget that is allocated for scale purchase.
Some key features that most clubs desire in their scales that weigh fish are the ability to weigh in pounds and ounces. Also, a lot of folks like to have a function that will lock the weight on the display since fish can sometimes bounce around and create some unstable readings on the indicator. A battery is nice since you always want to have a couple of choices for power. A serial port is helpful for connecting large remote displays that will show the weight to the crowd and the other competitors. Finally, a carry case is not a requirement but it is very useful when going from each event to your storage facility.
Some of the products that match the needs of the tournaments are the SL-3700 which is a heavy duty stainless scale with large weigh platform. Best of all, the weight locks on the display. The affordable Sportsman also features a weight lock function. Both of these are outstanding choices for different reasons. Both have battery power. Large remote displays are also available to allow the audience a great view of the weigh in.
One note to think about is that each state’s laws vary but it’s probably a really good idea to have your tournament scale certified by your department of weights and measures to ensure you’re using a certified scale system at any fishing tournament where money is used as an award.
