I'm after a set of compact small weighting scales for when I go tench fishing, obviously they need to be reasonably accurate but don't want to spend a fortune on them. I don't want to take my Reubens as they take up too much room in the rucksack as I'm only going for the day. What are your recommendations?

Digital luggage scales.

Argos do them for ten quid no carp tax.

Mine fit in my Korda basic tackle box.

Same as,the newish out Korum compact scales ,nice and small,if I didn't have these I'd get some of those small lanyard luggage scales..

I only rarely weigh fish anyway,mainly perch...carp ,you can enjoy the form ,scale patterns, colouration etc,anyway,those Korums are nicely compact..

Not sure which Reuben scales you have but I use their flyweight scales, they're very light and compact.

Reuben Heaton are well known to produce the best scales available for fishing I love my specimen scales

HOWEVER !!!!
they have dropped the ball with the Flyweight scales these have gained a reputation of becoming wildly inaccurate after little use so I would avoid buying these
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
