Re: scales
I'd 2nd the Salter Electro Samson. Great scales. Brought it in to be certified and was told that even within very tight tolerences, it passed with flying colours. One of the most accurate scales they ever certified!!
I can't remember what I paid for mine or where I bought it, but I think they're around the €100 mark in Ireland. You can definitely get them cheaper than that if you shop around

Re: scales
Salter is a good scales, the key pad can give grief over years of abuse!
Also consider the Rueben Heaton 7000 series scales.

Re: scales
Cant fault the Salter scales,have used them for 4-5years now.
As long as you look after them and dont let them get wet they will weigh every fish accurately,and as Jim says the buttons could be better.That said,im not sure if they are worth the £80.They could do with more waterproofing
You can get them on ebay for £35 if you`re lucky,at that price they`re worth it....
