Korda Dial Scale Carpy Green 60lb/2oz

The moment of truth in carp fishing happens when the fish is in the sling and the scales are zeroed. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable when weighing a potential new personal best. That’s why we stock the Korda Dial Scale in Carpy Green. These aren’t just any scales; they are precision instruments manufactured to an incredibly high specification by the industry legends at Reuben Heaton.

Designed specifically for the modern angler, these scales feature a rugged polycarbonate body and lens that are built to withstand the bumps and scrapes of bankside life without scratching. With a clear, single-revolution dial and a hi-viz pointer, they eliminate the “did I misread that?” panic that can happen in the heat of the moment or under the dim glow of a headtorch.

Key Features & Performance

• Reuben Heaton Pedigree: Built by the world leaders in weighing equipment, ensuring long-term accuracy and mechanical durability that you can trust for years.

• Single Revolution Dial: Unlike dual-revolution scales that can lead to misreading the weight, these go from 0 to 60lb in one full turn, making the reading instant and unambiguous.

• Rugged Construction: The body and lens are made from high-impact polycarbonate. This material is designed to resist cracking and, crucially, it doesn’t scratch easily, keeping your dial crystal clear.

• Corrosion Resistant: All internal and external metal parts, including the weighing hook and hanging point, are made from stainless steel or treated for corrosion resistance to survive damp UK winters.

• High Visibility: The pointer needle is finished in a hi-viz color, which, when paired with the large, clear numbers, makes weighing fish in low-light conditions much easier.

• Easy Zeroing: Features a large, knurled knob at the top that allows you to zero out the weight of your wet weigh sling with one hand, even when wearing gloves.

Technical Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• UK Syndicate Waters: Perfect for the dedicated carper who needs pinpoint accuracy down to the ounce on pressured waters where every bit of weight counts.

• Overnight Sessions: The hi-viz needle and scratch-resistant lens make these a dream to use under a headtorch during those 2:00 AM captures.

• Public Day Ticket Lakes: Tough enough to be thrown in a rucksack or carryall and survive the constant transport and setup of frequent sessions.

• European Trips: While the 60lb version is the UK standard, the build quality makes them reliable for long-stay sessions abroad. (For targeting 60lb+ fish, see our 120lb Gigantica version).

Gerry’s Pro Tip

The “Wet Sling” Zero:

Always remember to soak your weigh sling before you zero the scales. A dry sling can weigh significantly less than a wet one, and if you zero it dry, you’ll be cheating yourself out of a few ounces of your fish’s actual weight! Once the sling is soaking wet and drained of excess water, hang it on the hook and turn the knurled knob until the hi-viz needle sits perfectly on the zero mark. Precision is everything!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these scales waterproof?

They are highly water-resistant and designed for outdoor use in the rain. However, they are a mechanical instrument, so we don’t recommend submerging them. If they get particularly wet, a quick wipe down before putting them back in your tackle bag will keep them in top condition for years.

What is the benefit of “Single Revolution” scales?

Standard scales often require the needle to go around twice to hit their maximum weight. If you’re tired or in a rush, it’s easy to look at the needle and read “10lb” when the fish is actually “40lb” (on the second turn). With a single revolution, what you see is exactly what you get.

Can the lens be replaced if it does get damaged?

The polycarbonate used is extremely tough, but should the worst happen, these scales are serviceable. Because they are made by Reuben Heaton, parts and calibration services are often available to ensure your scales stay accurate for a lifetime.

Do they come with a protective case?

These scales are supplied as the unit itself. To keep that polycarbonate lens in mint condition, we highly recommend pairing them with a padded Korda Compac Scale Pouch, which is designed to fit these perfectly.
