ABSTRACT:
A light-duty fish weight scale which is connectable to generally horizontal elongated supports such as fishing rods and the safety rail of a boat. The fish scale includes a shank formed of slender, flexible resilient material such as wire or a strip of flat sheet material and is connectable at one end to the elongated support whereby the shank is then spaced generally parallel to the support. The shank is adapted to supportively receive the downwardly hanging weight of a fish and be deflected in cantilever fashion in proportion to the weight of the fish. The other end of the shank is adapted, in conjunction with weight indicia connectable to the support, to provide viewable indicia of the actual weight of the hanging fish. In one embodiment, the means for hanging the fish from the shank also provides a pointer to the proper weight indicia, facilitates the stored position for the invention, and provides means for securing the fish hook attached at the end of the fishing line when the fishing rod is not in use.
