I use two spring scales big one for general shop use and a small indicating scale for Fly Rod leaders. IGFA the organization that certifies fish records. Tackle shop nearby has a certified IGFA leader tester. Real expensive machine, my spring scale can read off 20 percent when compared to the certified test scale. Cheap one is useful when it does not count money on the line take leaders to the shop to test.
When measuring small weights down to 6 lbs breaking, ordinary spring scales won't read true. Trigger pulls even less no way they are useful for trigger pull work.
Check weight rig not hard to make I used a homemade before finding a NRA check weight. Small can riveted to a wire hanger dribbled shot in until the trigger broke then weighed the can on a digital.
