This product is great; very accurate, especially when weighing small fish, and easy to use. We used 2 of these during our JR fishing Rodeo and were able to accurately weigh the smallest fish, which is very important during this event.

I was looking for a relatively low weight digital scale for large mouth bass fishing and this seemed to fit the bill. I'd seen a 50 pound version of a similar scale so I figured this would be smaller but it's not--it's a big unit. The scale takes a 9 volt battery which would seem good but the snap on contacts were loose so I started by using some electrical tape to secure them. For some reason, the scale only has two buttons and this is one of those electronic devices that tries to be "iPod like" in simplicity but turns out to be very frustrating to use, as it seems to independently toggle from one function to another depending on how long you hold the buttons down or in what order, etc. Decided to send it back in favor of a mechanical scale. The directions were no help, unfortunately.

Seems to be a good fish scale, If I could only catch a large mouth bass in the 15 lb range.. Shipping was really slow, one week to go about 15 miles.
