ive heard good things about the reuben heaton scales are these ones below any good ? im thinking of going for the 66lb version incase i catch a pike over 33 :D ive tried a few scales in the past and they are never accurate, latest ones weigh 2.5lb as 4lb ive tried adjusting, zeroing, tightening and they just dont work and i know my weights are spot on.

Spring tube ones are notoriously unreliable / inaccurate. You're far better off getting some dial type ones - either avons for up to 40lb, or reubens or Nash ones for 56lb +.

 

They will cost you more but are far more accurate. But does absolute accuracy really matter to you ? If you're not bothered 1/2 or 1 lb either way then stick to the cheaper spring ones.

Reuben scales have been used as far as I am aware for all nationals and internationals for EVER!! Guess what i would buy were I so inclined Andy!?

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))
