I had come across this web page sometime back and thought it was pretty interesting. All we have to do now is to see if it works. It would be ideal if it did.

P.S. Bops I was wondering where to post this one.... hmm would it be possible to open a folder in the General section where threads like this one can go? Think Rustam had mentioned it as well.

Thanks.

First time I am seeing this site, MM.

Hi MM,

This would go under Bait, tackle and tactics

Guys where can one pick up a decent scales locally without paying out an arm, a leg and your wallet also
Also what about weighing bags, maybe we could get some made if there are enough of us that need new and good ones

Owen...I did see analog weighing scales in the by lanes of SP road. They looked pretty handy .....I dont remember the price..was b/w 500~800Rs , but its bargainable to nearly 70% of the cost ...the one I saw coulod handle upto 20kgs....only problem was that they were made in China

I now have the list of a few shops on Avenue road that sell new scales that can handle >50 Kgs and cost ~ 450.00 Must check them out. The are dial type scales. Will check them out and post the results.
Wonder about the accuracy of the footpath scales.

I have a Berkley digital scale...dont trust them..

Well since we're talking about weighing fish, I know of a friend who caught a really big catfish and proudly took it home. Realised he had no weighing scale/spring balance so the guy got on his bathroom scales weighed himself, then got on again fish in arms and subtracted the difference in weights.

Hi MM
Well atleast he had a scales in the bogs, i know of a guy who took his fish to the kaka shop to weigh it, and was allowed to, provided he left behind half the fish as payment for dirtying up his scales

I took the weigh sling (bag) that I use for pike with me on my last trip to India.
I popped into a shop selling hammocks and had a chat with one of the guy's.
A couple of days later, I had a scaled up copy of my weigh sling in green with a rather nice camo bag to put it in for a couple of hundred Rs.
Once it's damped down, it's just the job for weighing even big fish and is satisfyingly light to carry once it's dry.
