This is a really good question! I’ve been using this cheap Cabela's scale for a couple years now and I hate it. When I weigh large fish it’s hard for me to hold on to the rope/scale. Definitely interested to hear what everyone has to say. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-112346-30754-scale.jpg)

I been using a whisker seeker scale past couple of years that works good for big fish. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-99544-30755-2c30dbee_383c_4b32_9c59_10056a3839e3.png)

I’ve tried several and there was some good ones, several bad ones but this one is my favorite. Fold out handles, weighs up to 110 lbs, bright light when using at night and my favorite part is they use regular batteries and not watch or disk batteries.

I heard catfish connection has a new one that resembles the whisker seeker scales 
If it ain't broke don't fix it...but go ahead and work on it anyway.....

Those WS scales are what I use. Now I just need to catch a cat that exceeds 20 lbs! (and get another boat).

I’m fishing this cold front both Friday and Saturday with Littlefeather and cousin Ben. Keeping my fingers crossed a few big fish will cooperate so we’ll have some good stories to tell...🤞🥶🤞

We El Gato. I got my scale in yesterday. I will be putting to test tomorrow.
BTW: this is a good one. Also if you buy this item. Please make sure you have a very small tip phillips screwdriver.

Yes the screws in the battery plate are tiny, but on a good note batteries seem to last a long time. I use quality batteries and scale is 2 years old and just replaced a couple weeks ago. They were still working but I went ahead and changed them because I was headed to the coats to chase bull reds. Plus changing batteries is easier at home.
