Hey everyone. Any recommendations for a small set of dial scales (40lb minimum). Nothing mega bucks, (but need to be easily readable) as want to buy multiple sets and leave one set permanently on my boat.

Don't mind paying for Reubens for my main set but hoping for something under £20 if possible for leaving on my boat.

I paid £24 for a second hand set of 1oz specimens. Duffed up but still pretty accurate
