Fun video guys! Thanks! There is one scale that if you weigh with that scale you don’t need to send the scale in if you have a record fish ( like I would need that, lol, unless it is for the smallest fish 😂)
🤣🤣🤣 You and me both! Hope all is well buddy! 👊
Would love to see how the higher end scales compare. Keep going!
👊💪
Interested in more insights on the various scales. Fun video and of course anytime you take time out with your son your a good dad!
Appreciate you brother! 👊
To get the average, add the total weight, then divide by the number of items. For instance you had 3 items, add the total weight of three then divide by the total by three.
Zip lock baggie keeps the scale dry in the kayak . I’ve got a Googan scale and you need to weigh the fish a couple times to make sure the weights correct . Bass Pro Scale works pretty good and seems to stay true .
Good idea with a baggie. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
I found my googan squad scale ( the same 1 you have) on the bank of the lake I fish. It works well and is spot on. Best free scale I've ever had can't complain about it.
Heck yeah! 👊💪
It's funny you did this video because just last night I was checking the accuracy of my RUNCL scale. It's was only off by 4.6 grams. I have two 200 gram calibration weights for a kitchen scale I used to check it. The RUNCL scale looks to be the exact same scale as your Connect. The Runcl is only $12 free shipping on Amazon. I've had it since August 2020 and it's still pretty accurate!
👊💪
I grabbed the rapala scale, and a bass pro one, did the same test with 5lb weight, my rapala was almost 10oz off. Also dropped my bass pro in the water lol, but it was almost dead on 9 out of 10 times.
Dang!
Nice seeing Big Mike and Phantom helping you out. Think just caring a scale and tape is fun to compare fish you catch that day. Thanks for the video time to hit DQ for a shake!
💯 brother! I could go for a shake as well, lol
When weighing something with a free hanging scale the item being weighed must be centered on the grip holding it. Also the zip ties sometimes held the 5 pound weight off to the side which probably caused it to come up shy of 5 pounds.
Appreciate the heads up. 👊
I have a piscifun digital scale, I believe it’s about $40. I typically weight the fish twice and it’s rarely the same twice but real close. May have to try a weight. Be nice if they had a calibration setting
👊💪
Every year i make sure my scales are weighting proper. You can even check with lures if you know there weight. 👌🏻🤙🏻
👊💪
Question? Do any of those scales have a setting that allows you to calibrate them? They all seem to be off almost a 1/3 od f a pound.
Not that I know of.
Love this idea and would like to see the higher end scales tested. I personally use the Googan scale and you’re right about the texture. It’s a nice touch. I’m sure there’s some scientific reason behind the weight slightly being off on all of them due to hanging weight or slight movement. Close enough for me though lol
Lmao googan D rider. You waste money on their newest garbage disposal rod yet ? Still 😢 over other ppl opinions.......
Yup, a ballpark works for me, but with a PB it would nice to know.
I've got a $20 Berkeley scale that I tested with a weight like that work spot on
👊💪
I would like to see how consistent and accurate the breknel is compared to the others as that's the scale they use for class records and the scale mlf uses.
Yup, I'm definitely gonna grab that one.
Can you pickup a Protege digital luggage scale from Walmart for comparison? They usually can be had anywhere from $9-$12. You'll need to modify it slightly to accommodate a Fish Grip Jr or the like, but it would be interesting to see how it compares.
Good video TJ, I use a quantum scale
Thank you brother! 👊
The Rapala scale displays the temp on the screen without have to toggle through the menu to find it. Also do a water test to be fair on durability. Just splash them with water and see who still works.
Oh sweet! 👊
You should add in the tackle HD scale it's around the same price point as the others
👊💪
These scales at best can only give a rough estimate of your catch... Keep trying others, but I'm willing to bet that BogaGrip mechanical scale will be the most accurate given its design (and cost!). I'd be interested to see how the Catch Commander does as well to see if its price tag is justified compared to the others. For tournament fishing a balance is your best option to cull fish.
💯 brother! 👊
You should always hold the scale by the handle. You're weighing them with your hand touching the hook. That will always be wrong.
👊💪
Bro how much inch jighead hook do u pair with 4 inch diesel minnow
I'd go with a jig head that has a 3/0 hook in it.
Hang the scale from a static item and it will weigh the most accurate
Right on! 👊
Good review👊👍
Appreciate you watching! 👊
Man I love watching you and big mike lol
My dude! 👊💪
Hold it by the handles so your hand doesn’t touch the grippers, might be an issue?
I'll pay more attention to that next time.
@@TackleJunky81 not discrediting your test just pointing out a possible issue, love your videos and really respect including big mike. Wish my dad had been this cool.
@@Lynchbocks Appreciate you!
Great review!!💪🏻 I really don't think what scale you use out on the boat is accurate and will be off a little. Watching the Elite Pros most of them use the Rapala and they know the ballpark they're in. Watching the weigh-ins some might say they thought the weight was a little less but the weigh-in scales are a little higher. Don't think a high end would be any more accurate but that's my opinion. Good job guys!!!!! Thanks for sharing!! Big Mike, Don't worry about that "W". We all have days like that and that's why they call it fishing not catching!!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Thank you John! Yup, I'm good with a ballpark weight, but it would be nice to know exact weight with a PB. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
I bought the Piscifun with gripper. I tested it with a 20# weight. I weighed the 20# weight first on a scale. It came in at 19.6 and the fish scale varied from 18.1 to 19.4, all over the place. I decided to send it back and after watching this video, I don’t know if I’m going to buy another one.
Right on! 👊
Ill so far the inly problem i had with the googan is one of the pins fall out on the gripper and you couldnt use it at all you couldn’t close it but i had a roll of solder and cut a piece to go in and it works fine but im gunna test mine see where its comes in cuz i do believe its off that little bit as well
👊💪
I will say that I have seen anglers use that same Rapala scale in major tournaments, however I never seen anybody use the other two scales in major tournaments.
👊💪
The rapala digital but the compact one that goes with 100s no lbs and ounces. And the berkley digi with the hook
I use the berkley digi with the hook and always weigh twice and almost everytime it shows the same
👊💪
Let that kid talk!! You keep stepping on him when he is speaking!
I think although they all weigh a bit different, at the end of the day you're still going to get the 5 biggest to take to the weigh in.
Right on! 👊
Like the Science Fair style experiment on scales accuracy. Would like seeing other brands accuracy. Maybe at some point try seeing if their is a connection between length of fish and the weight of the fish. For an example a 14 inch bass should weight 1.2 lbs. Something like that maybe 🤷♂️
10 4 brother! I like that idea! 👊💪
If ya go back and look up one of tactical bassin recommends a really good scale
😎
personally have to googan scale, its definitely nice to use but and works well enough for ballpark but I was kinda disappointed at how off it was for me today, I caught my pb today which was 21 inches and undoubtedly at least 5 pounds but the googan scale was reading a consistent 4.14 and then whatever scale my dad had was reading in in the 4.7 range. Idk if you already did a high end scale test video (about to go look and see if you did) but I would love to see it and see if those are more accurate and nicer for a pb measuring situation
I haven't yet, but I picked up the scales to do it in the future.
I have the Googan and don't trust it at all. I caught a 4.6 bass and it said it was 3.15. I think the problem is that it jumps around too far. I expect a scale to jump around a few ounces before settling down, but the Googan jumps around a few pounds.
Runcl and a couple others are waterproof on Amazon
👊💪
Shows you how many times throughout fishing we’ve probably caught 5 pounders and thought they were just short.👊
Yes sir! Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
Brecknell ElectroSamson fish scale
I picked one up.
I purchased a Rapala DFG50 boga grip version, if i have the model number correct. I normally use a 5lb weight myself and add another 5lb for a second time. Then whatever i attach the weight to, i attach to the scale 1st for zeroing out. Then i weighed the weights and its on the money. Within 1/10ths from a pound.
What im saying if im correct 5lbs is 5lbs or 4.99.
Right on! 👊
Good topic for a video. Not surprised that all three were different. And a "2x4" ain't a 2x4 so of course that weight didn't weigh 5 pounds. lol ✌🏻😎🎣
Lol, good point! 👊💪
Those weights aren't dead on they can be slightly lower or slightly higher than what is marked on the scale
Good to see big Shirley on the job lol
🤣👊💪
I'd like to see whisker seeker scale vs the kastking scale in the tournament.
I'll check those out. 👊
Hello tj how are you man, thanks for the sacle vid very awsome. I have the googan scale and 5lb weight, mine always says 5.20 or 5.36. My brother has a small rapla and is reads 5.07 or 5.09.
Hey brother, I guess they're all off a bit. Appreciate you watching! 👊
I keep mine in a small waterproof bag (not ziploc).
There you go. 👊💪
I have rapala 50 lbs digital scale and weighed actual weighed weights and its dead accurate. Its $45 but awesome
👊💪
I bobber might work.
Appreciate you watching! 👊
You need to do a ozark trail digital scale
👊💪
I must say, any scale with a moving object will not be accurate. No matter how expensive. This is why an accurate weight is only achievable with fish on their side immobilized using a more traditional style plate scale, like Texas Parks & Wildlife uses for giant bass and also most bass fishing tournaments.
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! 👊
That's not always true, maybe in portable fish scales it is. But trucks are weighed on a floating platform daily to get accurate weights. These scales are calibrated multiple times a year though. There's floating scales used in many food industry plants as well. I think higher end fish scales are more closely calibrated to a exact weight than cheaper mass produced scales are.
Great video
Thank you brother! 👊
BigMike in the house ditching school !!! YES !!! 🎣🎣🎣
👊💪
So it's the scales that are doing the sand bagging! lol
🤣 Apparently!
It really sounds like that weight might not be 5 lbs. Just because the weight has a number on it don't assume. Unless you weighed it to know for sure. What are the odds that all the scales are in the neighborhood of 4.70 I'm guessing that the weight is not 5 lbs. Get the weight weighed.
I did weigh it.
IGFA certified scale is the way to go. If you get a PB like a 8 pounder!(😄😁🤣) you will know exactly. Remember don't forget to bring it. 😉
Remembering to bring it is key! 🤣
Big Mike- everyone gets watted once in a while
👊💪
I think the weight is off because what the chance that all thoes different brand scales are off right around the same weight, maybe try weighing the weight on a scale by itsself
It's odd that all the scales are in the same ballpark and yet the weight is what it says. What are the odds of that? Thanks for replying.
It almost doesn't make sense.
Video starts at 10:39
👊💪
yes please
👊💪
The one that cane out this year by accu cull is the only one you see people use around lake st clair these days... Only because its tournament grade and comes with a crossbar handle thing that negates needing to be on land to be completely accurate so you can send it in for records without needing their scales or having to bring it to shore... If you make another video give that one a whirl. Id immagine its the gold standard as of now?
Right on! 👊
dont need a high end scale also having not a caught fish did you try bait fuel or not
I did a video on bait fuel in the past.
i know watch all of your vibs because you didnt catch any fish mybe try bait fuel iuse it and i think it does work
You need to weigh that weight on some good scales it might not weigh 5 it's old
Sure that's a 5lb weight?😂 On 5 keepers in a tourney that's a big difference....could be off pounds from actual weight. Would love to see some higher end scales compared in the scale challenge....good job guys 🐟🐟🐟
5 fish limit by those scales you'd loose over a pound lol a pound and a quarter to be exact. That can mean a win or lose easy lol
Pretty sure! 🤣
If that weight is 5lb's none of the scales are accurate. It would be cool seeing more of this finding a scale that is actually true. Maybe look into getting a weight too that is for calibrating
10 4 brother! 👊
THe problem you are seeing is probably coming from your home scale. unless the home scale is certified by a NISTA standard it is going to have an accuracy of +/- 1% to 2%. 155lbs at 1% is 1.55lbs. At 2% is 3.1ibs. The 5lb marking on the weight has margin of acceptable weight plus/minus 5lbs. That being said I would have more trust in the fishing scales against each other. The fishing scales have an accuracy range as well. What I got from your video is that the 3 different scales are basically preforming the same when you consider actual accuracy.
Appreciate the feedback brother! 👊
Lol *we obviously dont know*
Fishscale ♎⚖️
👊💪
So none of those are worth wasting money on .
Googan Squad are a joke
