Overview
Weighing a fish is the job of this digital scale, which shows light text on a dark illuminated screen that stays readable in bright sun. A directional pad steps through the menus, and a fish friendly gripper grips the animal gently.
The reason to buy is a feature-rich scale with memory and tare in an easy-to-read format. The limit is capacity, which tops out at the listed maximum, and the need to supply your own batteries.
Who it's for
Bass and freshwater anglers who weigh and log their fish during a trip, including tournament practice. Those who catch heavy saltwater species should choose a scale with a higher rating.
Pros and cons
- Easy-to-read reverse LCD
- Memory and tare
- Multiple unit options
- Fish friendly gripper
- Batteries not included
- Limited maximum capacity
- Weight row looks like an error
Performance notes
The reverse image LCD makes the numbers easier to see outdoors, and the storage locations let the angler save readings and compare them to a minimum, maximum and total. Tare subtracts a container. Accuracy still depends on a steady hold.
