Robert,
Not a digital scale, but the common Carburetor float scale does an excellent job in weighing these light components and rod blanks.

[www.google.com]:

These sell for about $15.

Or - digital -

The one that Riley Rods sells are awesome... I have put them up against 5000.00 scales and they had the same weight.... Pretty impressive for something like 10.00. If you cant get them from Riley there are always the online @#$%& places that carry them for even less.

Hello Robert.

In case you are wondering, the "one from Riley Rods" is a "Fast Weight MS-600" it's a digital pocket scale that weighs from .1g to 600g.

It seems to be accurate.

For weighing and comparing guide weights I use my hand loading powder scale.
