Overview
The Hanging 5502 is a lightweight hanging fish scale in orange, weighing roughly 0.1 kg on its own and rated to a stated 440 lb capacity.
Hanging scales work by suspending the catch from a hook and reading the pull on a dial or digital face. A 440 lb rated capacity puts this well beyond typical freshwater catches, so it can double as a general-purpose scale for other gear too.
- 440 lb rated capacity
- Orange finish
- 0.1 kg body weight
- Single-piece hanging design
Who it's for
Works for anglers who want one scale that covers everything from panfish to large catches, and for anyone needing a portable high-capacity hanging scale for other equipment.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High stated 440 lb capacity covers most catches
- Compact and light at roughly 0.1 kg
- Orange finish stays visible in a tackle bag
- No detail on digital versus dial readout
- Brand name on the listing is generic rather than an established maker
Performance notes
At about 0.1 kg, the scale body itself is light enough to hang from a rod tip or bag without adding meaningful weight.
