Q:

how does the weight coordinate with the numbered cull tag? it doesnt show a number on the picture with the weight.

Answer: If you look at the magnified picture, you can see the numbers in the plastic.

Answer: Each box is numbered on the gray plastic 1-8 above and below the touch screen. Picture looks like an older model and doesn't show the numbers.

Answer: there are 8 sections to enter weights I'm and yes that do match the number of the cull balls

Q:

Will it let you cou t total fish you catch up tp 75?

Answer: The scale can only track up to 8 fish.

Answer: No. Only counts the biggest 7 or 8

Q:

Does anyone found a fix for the scale turning off before you can weigh the fish? Works great otherwise but this gets extremely frustrating.

Answer: mine works fine. have you tried to change your battery?

Answer: I have not noticed this problem. I would contact Rapala directly.

Q:

Does it store dates and/or locations along with the corresponding weight?

Answer: holds weights is all does not store dates or locations

Answer: No it does not store the date or location. There are 8 bins on the scale and you can store each fish weight up to 8 fish in a bin.

Answer: It does not store dates or locations, but all in all is a pretty awesome scale.

Answer: No it does not store location or dates

Q:

I put a fish on while it was lying on the ground and then lifted the scale and it wouldn't weigh it. It stayed at zero. What causes that?

Answer: I think you have clear the weight

Q:

metal clips or black plastic clips??? for the culling system

Answer: They are plastic on the one I got

Answer: Black plastic for bass, walleye and smaller

Q:

Is this scale shipped from overseas

Answer: I don't think so.. depends on which seller you buy from , Mine wasn't but I don't remember who the seller was... BTW - the scale is awesome

Answer: No it ships from Ohio

Answer: I don't know if it comes from overseas , but do know grate scale for tournament fishing

Q:

I bought the scale, it is not measuring the weight, how can I return it?

Q:

There's a different style clap shown on other sight has it changed?

Q:

Does this have the black plastic clips for the cull balls or the metal ones in the pictures?

Answer: Black plastic clips.

Answer: Mine were all plastic. However the clips on the balls are more lightly constructed than the main clip. Also, the main clip doesn't look like the one I see here. There is no spring. You open and close the clip manually.

Answer: Everything on this scale set is puncture free

Q:

Has anyone used this for kayak fishing I'm wondering how water resistant this thing is?

Answer: No, I haven't, but I would presume being immersed in water would damage it. Keeping it in a sealed ZipLock bag would probably make it useable in a kayak.

Answer: These scales are not very waterproof. I am a weekend tournament bass fisherman and seem to go through one scale per season. It seems like once they get really wet they are fairly erratic and shut off before they allow the time needed to weigh a fish and put it in a "bin". Other than that it is the most user friendly scale I have ever used.

Q:

Does it weigh 1lb 4 oz and 1.25 oz or does it read 20 oz. ?

Answer: You can adjust how you want to see the weight. We used the lb. oz. option.

Answer: 1 pound 4 ounzes

Answer: 1.4

Q:

What’s the max weight it can weigh of a single fish?

Q:

I have this scale and the clip broke, where can I get a replacement

Answer: Get in touch with Rapala, you can go to their web site and contact them through there and possible order one from them.

Answer: There not waterproof

Answer: Call Rapala

Q:

Does anyone know the accuracy of the 15lb vs 50lb versions of the Rapala scales? If the 50lb is just as accurate for small weights why get the 15lb?

Answer: 50 lb is more accurate for larger fish (ie those over 20 lbs like deep sea fishing) but not as accurate for smaller fish. 15 lb is more accurate for smaller fish (ie bass, bluegill, etc)

Answer: 15lb is always more accurate.

Q:

I put a fish on while it was lying on the ground and then lifted the scale and it wouldn't weigh it. It stayed at zero. What causes that?

Answer: I think you have clear the weight

Q:

How good do the culling bulb clips stay attached to the fish?

Answer: They stay really well. Never had one come off while a fish is in the livewell. I have had several of them break when taking them off the fish. Dont know why it seems to be a design flaw when you push the wet clip?

Q:

I am waiting for mine to arrive what size batteries does this take?

Answer: AA

Q:

How do you change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit

Answer: don't remember as i had other problems with this unit and gave it away

Q:

Does it give the option to weigh in onces and grams?

Answer: I do some tournament fishing and found this scale to be the best and closest to the scales used to weight in at tournaments with in an 100th of an ounce , has some really good features good buy.

Q:

Does this scale come with the spring clamp shown in the picture or the updated pliers style ?

Answer: Yes

capt08 : Five Stars

The best, very nice....

Stuart : Great for tournament bass fishing

I really love how easy this made culling for my recent tournament!

Tim Wachter : tournament tested and proven - great scale!

to start, i want to point out the differences in the two scales. the 15lb scale weighs with an accuracy within one ounce, while the 50lb scale has an accuracy within 4oz, or 1/4lb. otherwise, i think the two scales are about identical.

i bought the 15lb version of this scale for use in the bass fishing tournament my bar holds every year. i was unsure how well a digital handheld scale would perform, so i got it a couple weeks early and took it everywhere with me to test it out. once i figured out how to turn it on and navigate through the various functions included, i was quite pleased. it feels very sturdy, even though it is also very light-weight. the grip is rubberized and textured so it won't slip from your hands, even when wet.

judging by the picture on the listing, i was concerned that the spring-clip clamp for securing fish to the scale wouldn't be very good at keeping hold of the fish. i was wrong! it is a very strong clamp, easily capable of holding on to enough weight to max out the scale. i never even felt the need to switch the clamp out with the included hook, because it did so well on its own.

my second concern was that the scale, being so light-weight and digital, may not be very accurate. in doing a bit of research, i found out that the scale calibrates every time you turn it on. so being the way i am, i wandered around the house and found several items to weigh and see how accurate the scale pegged their weights. about three times out of four, it was dead on, and nine times out of ten, it was within one ounce on 3lb and 5lb weights. it is possible, however, to throw the calibration off if you're careless while turning the scale on (resting it on your lap or applying any force to the chain) but if you simply hold the scale up and keep it still when you turn it on, it calibrates pretty accurately and consistently. i attribute the weighing inaccuracies to me moving with the scale in-hand while turning it on. once i figured out how to get a good calibration, it was dead on every time.

by tournament day i was confident the scale was good enough. every time i turned the scale on to weigh fish, i would first test it with the 3lb weight to ensure an accurate calibration. having had plenty of practice at this point, i got accurate calibrations every time. my biggest enjoyment using this scale was the ability to be mobile. in the past, we've had hanging scales that required a sturdy floor stand. being able to climb right up onto the live wells with this scale in hand was very convenient. my second biggest enjoyment was the comments i kept getting about the scale i was using. one guy commented that he didn't trust the weights i got on his fish, so i welcomed him to pull out his scale and we'd compare. the total weight across five fish was one ounce difference (18lb 9oz on my scale vs 18lb 8oz on his). that both surprised and upset him, as he thought his fish were bigger than that (don't we all?).

i did not use the included culling system, but i can see it being handy. i also did not use the weight bins for storing and calculating weight totals, because while we set the scale to display weight in pounds-ounces, the running total weight is only measured in 1/100th pounds. i can confirm that the bins work though, and would be very handy if you chose to use them.

overall, i am very pleased with this product. the touch screen requires a bit of pressure to operate, and the functions take a bit of memorizing to get used to. the backlight is handy but shuts off pretty rapidly. the temperature readings are inaccurately high, probably affected by being in the sun or if you're holding it in your hand for a while. but hey, we all have our quirks :) for $40, i don't think you'll find a better (or more versatile) handheld scale.

Jason : Awesome bass and crappie scale!

Unit is solid. Very accurate also. Comes with 2 fish attaching implements. I fish bass catch and release so I use the no-harm clamp but there is a steel hook for toothy critters if needed..
Unit also comes with numbered cull floats for tournament use. The floats are numbered so you can reference your fish directly.
The scale will record up to 8 fish before you have to start replacing weights on screen. The operation of the scale is all touch screen and seems to work fine even with wet fingers. I really liked how they stitched a fabric instructions page into the soft storage bag. Makes it handy when you are first learning the functions. This unit is a standard with many professional bass fisherman and after using it for a while I can see why. It's small, lightweight and accurate. If you're after weight on your biggest bass, best 5 or total weight caught for the day then this is the unit you need. I really enjoyed mine so much I got one for my dad. Beware ,it only weighs up to 15 or so pounds and read the instructions before use as some functions are maybe a bit counterintuitive

Wendell Brown : For tournament anglers it's a most have item!!!

I love this scale. The touch screen feature is excellent. I've fished two tournaments with it and culling fish with it is a breeze. Well worth the money!!!

Gregg Hunemiller : Looks like it will work

Looks like it will work. However, the clip to hold the fish would crush the trout and it is very hard to open. I am looking for a hook to replace the clip.

roger smith : I think this is the best scale I have ever bought

Rapala touch screen tourney scales are very,very accurate when it come to weighing pan fish! I think this is the best scale I have ever bought. R Smith 03-21-2018

Weston Sims : Good scale

Is a great scale. Takes a bit to get used to on the controls. But overall a good scale

Jeff : I have used this now for a good part of the fishing season

I have used this now for a good part of the fishing season, and I have been very pleased with how it weighs my catch. I like the fact that the instructions are on the bag, because it is easy to forget how to clear the weights. I removed the clamp - way too strong of a clip for large crappie. Very good product.

Amazon Customer : Great scale

Great scale easy to use and to read

Joseph K. : and this seems the best yet. if your a tournament

have used others ,and this seems the best yet. if your a tournament guy

Richard D Reeves : Nice scale

I use this in fishing tournaments. It works very well and I do recommend it.

Tonya Hill : Love it

My husband loved this as a gift, works good for professional fishermen

Douglas : Total piece of junk

I have put fresh batteries in this piece of junk and it will not turn on… It blinks three times and then falls out. The instructions say that there will be a beep and there is no beep. Totally frustrated with this piece of junk. I really don’t have a ton of money and thought this would be a great thing to buy. I’m glad that I have a piece of junk nothing and no money to get a new one. Don’t buy this product

Ayden : Best scale ive used.

Really like all features on this. Only dislike screen could be bigger to be able to use touch screen with big fingers.

hhuffine : AWESOME!

Got this for my husband as a gift. He fishes A LOT and always practices catch and release so this is PERFECT! It stores plenty of weights and he can then keep track of his day. Works great and easy to use.

Amazon Customer : It’s nothing better than walking up to the scales at the end ...

It’s nothing better than walking up to the scales at the end of the day and knowing exactly what you’ve got and being assured that your weight is right. Never off more than .03. Great scales, Great culling system

Joseph Bourdeau : Four Stars

directions are difficult to carry out

Kerry Wallace : Not made to get wet

Worked great until the first rain, quit working and its past the return date, it worked about a month. Next purchase of a fishing item (on the water use in all conditions) will be water resistant. Accurate scale, just not meant for being in a boat on the water where it does rain and boats and their contents are meant to get wet.

Tanner : Great rig for the price, could use some fine tuning.

Pros: It's easy to read. My tourney model came with usable cull tags. Decent storage bag. The instructions are sewn right into the bag, and it's a good thing.

Cons: Use of this thing is not intuitive. It's all good if you just need weights. When you start trying to store weights you'd better re- read the directions ahead of time. Trying to figure it out while you have a fish hanging sucks. The touch screen isn't very sensitive, I have to mash on it pretty hard.

FlyRick : Unreliable Inaccurate

After one month, the scale is off. A 5 LB weight shows 4 LB 4 OZ on the Rapala Scale. Worked great out of the box, but is no longer useful. Such a waste of $45.

Denise : Great tool!

We have found this scale easy to use, accurate, and it makes culling fish a much easier chore! It took just one time to run through how it works and then we were set. We did switch out the clip that comes on the scale with a little larger one that Rapala makes, just to make it easier and quicker to get the fish weighed and in the live well.

raspy : Three Stars

led screen is hard to read in the light

zann68 : Many Features

The scale works really well and the fact it will log and store your fish weights is great. The unit came with lip tags also for tracking which fish is which. The unit will show you the lightest fish to cull when you catch a heaver fish, nice. The grip on this thing is very easy to hold onto. the touch screen work pretty good, no issues on that. the screen can be a bit hard to see if the angle is slightly off when looking at and the back light will not stay on but just a moment. No real major issues so far, also it came with 2 ways to lip hook the fish as well. I would buy it again.

Fair-Minded : Hoping the company makes this right

From day one these scales have acted possessed. Sometimes they turn on. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they display an accurate weight. Sometimes they don't display anything. Sometimes they show something totally out of the realm of possibility. I didn't know how to contact the company privately so I am writing this review hoping they offer a refund or replacement. We kept trying different things to get it to work and it just wouldn't. Unfortunately, with weather conditions we weren't able to get on the lake and use this until the return date had expired. It was ordered in March, 2021

Mike Stephenson : Quality

Easy to use

Buddy Green : They quit

Worked great 1st time I used it then just used it for the 2nd time on Saturday and weighted a 2lb fish at .87. So it’s not accurate. I even changed batteries I can’t return it because outside the window

Stuart : Great for tournament bass fishing

I really love how easy this made culling for my recent tournament!

Tonya Hill : Love it

My husband loved this as a gift, works good for professional fishermen

R. Barnett : Great tool for tournament fishing

This scale does a great job of tracking your creel size. I have used it for 3 tournaments to date and it is very accurate.

S. R. : Works Great

Good product; reasonable price.

Joseph K. : and this seems the best yet. if your a tournament

have used others ,and this seems the best yet. if your a tournament guy

M. Marks : Excellent Scale!

Excellent scale very accurate and it's nice to store and total days largest catch. The spring holder wasn't for me as good as I'd hoped, and larger fish did shake off. I found best way to use was place fish in bag that had a handle, grip handle and just subtract the bag weight from display. Easier on me and on the fish.

sharonda : This product doesn't not work

I purchased the product for my husband and he's just getting around to using it due to his other machine didn't work anymore. Straight of the wrapper, put the batteries in the product and it NEVER turned on.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Makes cauling in a tournament extremely efficient. And accurate

Bad Mackrel : Awesome if you fish tournaments! makes culling easy

Awesome if you fish tournaments! makes culling easy

Albert Latil : Has a lot of features.

This was a birthday gift for my grandson and he couldn't wait to use it on his next bass tournament.

RJ4545 : Outstanding Scale

I purchased this scale and I really like what I see. Easy to operate and good graphics(easy to see). What an awesome scale. It will make culling so much easier. You can keep track of you fish and delete weights as needed. Great clip with plenty of pressure and a good rough grip for handing the scale with wet hands. If you are a tournament bass angler this is the scale for you. Simple operation with function. Great choice,

Jim DeFreitas : Five Stars

love the ability to store and replace weights when culling

Joseph Bourdeau : Four Stars

directions are difficult to carry out

Danney Lee Davis : The best fish scale out there.

Great to weigh fish.

Danney Lee Davis : The best fish scale out there.

Great to weigh fish.

Greg Gumbrecht : Store

I like that it stores the weights. Just what ive been looking for.

Cretins Bezoar : Enjoy while you can

It wont last long!

Mark A. : Wrong Clamp

I bought this one specifically because of the clamp pictured. The clamp pictured allows to you to clamp the scale on the fish's mouth and release it one-handed. It arrived today with a completely different clamp.

Wendell Brown : For tournament anglers it's a most have item!!!

I love this scale. The touch screen feature is excellent. I've fished two tournaments with it and culling fish with it is a breeze. Well worth the money!!!

186xt : Great for a season

I have had a few of these scales. They are very user friendly and seem to be accurate to most tournament scales. They only tend to last one season with weekly use if they get wet from significant amount of rain. I would happily pay double the money if they were more water proof.
