Overview
A compact black plastic fish scale from South, model SB-835B, listed at about 200 grams and sold as a single unit for handheld weigh-ins.
Sold individually, the SB-835B is a lightweight plastic scale meant for quick weigh-ins rather than heavy-duty commercial use. The listing gives its own weight as 200 grams, which reflects the tool's portability rather than any stated weighing capacity.

- Black color
- About 200 grams
- Sold as a single unit
Who it's for
Anglers who want a small scale to keep in a tackle bag for weighing catches on the spot. Not for anyone needing a scale rated for large game fish, since capacity isn't specified in the available data.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact and light enough to carry in a tackle bag
- Simple plastic build keeps it easy to stow
- Weighing capacity isn't specified in the listing data
Performance notes
Being plastic and only about 200 grams, the SB-835B is built for portability, something to clip to a tackle bag or stow in a boat compartment rather than a fixed dock scale. Its black finish and single-unit packaging point to a simple, no-frills design.
