I've put off keeping a scale in my kayak and boat too long and want to grab one ahead of a trip in early October.

Which scales would yall recommend? Smaller form factor is a bonus and let's keep it around $50 and under.

For saltwater or fresh? For salt/bigger fish, it's hard to beat a Boga. Not digital though.

Go Bubba or go home.

Seriously though, the Bubba Blade one looks awesome, but I think most of them are all the same thing. They probably all come from the same factory in China.

Yep. I've never had a decent digital one. I know the boga is accurate and it's still in perfect shape after probably close to 10yrs.

Second the Boga. No batteries, reliable, and it’ll always work.

Don’t fix what’s not broken.

Boga grip. Spring for one. Damn handy tool, and the scale is always right.

You can grab a 30 pound jack by the lips with that bastard and he ain't coming off.

I have a boga grip for saltwater and bigger fish and I love it in those scenarios. But I want something that'll allow me to measure more precisely on smaller fish. I kayak fish small rivers (like the llano in tx hill country) and want a reliable way to track my PB Guadalupe bass and other smaller fish that are often similar in size.
