Overview
The Rapala RTDS-15 is a handheld fish scale that itself weighs about 136 grams, built for weighing catch on the water or at the dock.
A scale this size is meant to travel in a tackle bag rather than sit at home, and the compact build keeps it light enough to clip to a vest or stow in a boat compartment. The listing does not specify a maximum weight capacity, so anglers targeting larger fish should confirm the range before buying.
- Weighs about 136 grams
- Multi color finish
- Sold as 1 count
- Rapala branded
Who it's for
For anglers who want a portable scale to weigh catch streamside or dockside without carrying bulkier gear. Less useful for anyone who needs a stated maximum capacity spelled out up front.
