Overview
A digital hanging fish scale from Berkley rated to 50 pounds, weighing under 4 ounces itself so it packs easily in a tackle bag.
Digital hook scales like this read weight through a built-in hook, letting anglers weigh a catch boatside before release or at the dock. The 50 lb ceiling covers most freshwater and inshore species without needing a heavier commercial scale.
- Digital readout
- 50 lb rated capacity
- 3.68 oz scale weight
- Black finish
Who it's for
Fits anglers who want a quick, packable way to log catch weight for personal records or weigh-ins up to 50 pounds. Anyone targeting larger offshore species will need a scale with more headroom.
Pros and cons
- Portable at 3.68 ounces
- 50 lb capacity covers most freshwater catches
- No stated battery type or backlight info
Performance notes
Digital hook scales weigh whatever is hung from the hook, so accuracy depends on holding the catch steady and letting the reading settle rather than checking it while it swings.
