I'm pretty much old school when it comes to Pounds and Ounces regards weighing my fish. I don't often catch near record weight to bother weighing to the degree of dram accuracy but you never know... :wh and have a hard time converting from imperial to decimal Kg's or parts thereof in me head so have a chart.
Shot is put on the line as No.1, BB, AAA, Swan etc. I don't use styls so don't feel it necessary to convert, just take shot out of the split shot dispenser and that's that... Old money rules!
BUT when it comes to ledger weights I prefer grams. 20g, 25g, 30g leads go figure!
The reason I probably use grams for ledger leads and pounds and ounces for fish is that pre decimalization I hardly ever ledgered and preferred to float fish so wasn't familiar with them. I maybe had a couple of large arlesey bombs tucked away in my box but nothing more for when trotting was out of the question. Each fish (of a decent size) caught back then was weighed in LB's and luckily shot is still sold the way it was back in the day.
These days I use leads more and so prefer the gram. Some ledger weights have both ounce and the equivalent gram writing on.
How do you refer to your weights, grams or ounces?
