Did a search and couldn't find any results so what do you use for handheld scales?

Rapala. This one. Don’t know the model number, but it’s dead on with our certified tourney scale. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/03/full-93588-45184-b338f7d7_f5b7_42d1_b5c5_3ae758343ac2.jpeg)

I really like the Berkley precision digital scales, they are colored for culling instead of numbers

I have owned several sets of these scales. All have weighed 2-4 oz Light at 10# Here is my new set. I took a 10# bag of sugar to the butcher shop & weighed it. Then I put the same bag of sugar in a plastic bag and weighed it with my hand held scales. The handheld scales are a little over 4 oz Light at 10# Normally if I am down at Fork I will take a bucket and put it on the digital scale at LFM and fill it with water until it reads 10.00 then I weigh the bucket with my handheld scales. My last set was 3 oz Light at 10# ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/03/full-19947-45222-img_2435.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/03/full-19947-45223-img_2434.jpg)

If you're using the scales for culling, they don't have to be dead on accurate. They just need to be consistent. And they need to weigh in hundredths of a pound.

I've got a digital scale made by Rapala. It's compact, pretty accurate and fairly cheap.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
