    Try this. It was developed by Dr. Bill Hanneman, the originator of the CCS.

    You can get a digital scale that will weigh in grains for around $10 at Harbor Freight or online.

    Thanks to all, I've taken several lines off some reels to be stored, then found I messed up labeling them. I might try the Dr. Bill's scale with the pvc base. Randall

    I did not know that Umpqua discontinued their fly line scale. I have one and do not know what I would do without it! I did a search and found a vendor that list the scale, but, do not know if it is an old listing or not. Might check with them. Hopefully, they still have some or can get them for you. They work great!

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
