Does anyone know of a good scale or something that could weigh lures that would be between 1 oz and say 1 pound....

I guess this may seem like a silly question...

Basically, I have a number of swimbaits (wooden ones especially) that I'd like to know how much the lures weigh....and when you make custom modifications to certain baits, I'd like to re-create that same weight...

Basically, I know there are scales that weigh things in ounces pretty accurately....just wondering if anyone knows a decent scale or something here that could be used for weighing your big baits and dialing them in...My scale for weighing fish, is accurate to the ounce, but not exactly what I'm after...

Of course, lure manufactures post how much baits weigh, but wood ones are all different, and custom mods to rubber baits are another story.

Random question, I know!

something like this is what you need:
My wife has one that I borrow sometimes for exactly this reason. Not that I care what the bait weighs but people are constantly asking me about what baits weigh. If you search 16oz scale on google or ebay, you'll find them. I saw one for 5 bucks on ebay.

$5??

WTF? I work for a living! Money doesn't grow on trees!!! Ha! That looks perfect. Good info dude.

Find a drug dealer and steal his scale! Then it will cost you nothing }(

If accuracy is important, I would wonder about a $5 scale. I have a Salter scale at home for weighing myself but if I were to get a lure-weight scale, I'd look at some of these:

Try a postal scale for weighing letters. That's what we use to weigh our reels for the catalog. Accurate and to the 1/10th of the ounce.
