ABSTRACT:
A portable weighing device particularly adapted for sport fishermen includes a balancing rod which may be readily assembled from three rod sections, a set of fittings, and a receptacle forming a counterbalancing weight. When the device is not in use, the rod sections and fittings may be conveniently stored in the receptacle. To use the device the rod sections and fittings first are removed from the receptacle. The rod sections then may be screwed together to form the balancing rod. The fittings in turn are threaded into spaced apertures in a pivot end section of the rod. An object to be weighed then is attached to one of the fittings while the fitting in the other aperture serves as a pivot and point of support for the device. Next, the receptacle is filled with water to a predefined level depending on whether the weighing device is to be used in a heavy or light weighing mode. The filled receptacle then is placed on the rod and its location adjusted until the rod balances in a horizontal position. The location of the receptacle with respect to numerical values of a scale on the rod indicates the weight of the object, for example, a recently caught fish.
