Answer: It does if your able to hold it still for a short period!

Answer: The only option other than switching between lb oz and kg is a tare which I haven't exactly figured out due to the fact I didn't get a user manual with mine.

Would this work for saltwater fish?

Answer: Indeed. This is a really good scale. Not perfect to the milligram but fine for fish and the price point. Strong and tight casing. Solid steel hook and handle. Can't attest to its durability in saltwater environments.

Answer: I think this can work for saltwater fish up to maybe 50 lbs., but it will need a bigger or a longer hook. And in saltwater will need extra washing at the end of the day. I mostly catch smaller catfish.

Is there another way to hook it except the gill

Answer: I successfully used this scale in a static force test of pneumatic piston and the hook did not fit. So I tied a cord around each of the ends in order to attach the scale. If a better answer is needed then more detail is needed in the question.

Can it save more than 1 weight?

Can someone explain how to use the tare feature, I keep getting a buzz soung when I try to weight something. I get a 0-lb message, thx

Nice scale. how can i change the temperature scale from c to f?

Answer: It reads the total weight the first time

how many pounds can it hold

Answer: Hi....110 Pounds

Answer: Cheaply made. Mine was DOA. Check the reviews, buy at your own risk.

Can you use it to measure the trigger pull on a firearm?

Answer: That's a good question. It's more of a pound measuring thing. It doesn't read fractions of pounds. I wouldn't use it for that.

Answer: I think you could, but it does not hold the measurement reading.

Answer: I wouldn't

Does it have a tare button, to zero out the scale with weight already on the hook (like a tub, or longer chain for example)?

Answer: Yes it does.

How can the auto load lock feature be turned off? I am teacher, and need to be able to undo this feature for my students bridge testing project.

Answer: It's super simple you just pushed the button and it will turn the load off.

Man this id a mistake! I did not buy anything!!!

Product reviews of MANGO SPOT LCD Electronic Balance Digital Fishing Hook Hanging Scale 110 Pound/50 Killogram, 10 Gram, 2 AAA Batteries Included

Bill "Hammer" : Mango Spot LCD Electronic Balance Digital Fishing Hook Hanging Scale

Bought and have no regrets! Just have to figure out whether to turn on before hanging your fish or after? I usually try zeroing it out and then weigh my fish?

Rosa : Great Product.

Does a lot for the price and well worth it. But bigger fish are harder to way on the Mango. I recommend buying some fish holding pliers and attaching it to your Mango. Will make the fish and your life easier.

Rachana : very nice digital scale - when you have to convert lb to kg with accuracy for luggage

bought this for international travel (travel to india or UK) - those Airline folks will not let you take 1oz more and this scale is pretty much on-the-spot - exactly same weight of luggage I did at home and at airport. give .2lb + or -

Scoutdriver73 : These work great and are accurate

This is the second one of these that I have ordered. These work great and are accurate. We've used the first one for about three years now with no issues. I expect to get the same life from the second one.

Open & Honest : Accurate & Easy to Use Digital Scale

I sell a few thousand items each year. Sometimes they are bulky and don'the fit well on my shipping scale. I bought this to allow me to quickly weigh those items without having to move my scale and try to get a reading on those large items.

I tested this against my trusty shipping scale which has proven it's accuracy to me over the past few years. I tested with on some lighter items as well as much heavier and this proved to be within 1-2% of my scale. There'should not much more to say about it other than it has a hook to hang items from to weigh them, and simple and we'll marked buttons to turn on / off.

I highly recommend.

Michele Lasa : fishing all day

I buy this product a week ago for my husbands birthday and he loves accurate the scale is on weighing big fish.This is not like other digital scales that I've used that were specifically designed for fishing. Electronic Scale is easy to use and read. Stainless steel hook for durable to use. Its takes 2 aaa battery. must use for any fisherman to make the fish experience wonderful.

Marjorie Morgan : Great fishing scale

Great little scale! I've tested it using bags of rice and things like that, it is super accurate!
I use it for fishing. I got tired of guessing how much fish weighed and I was on a tight bidget, so I splurged and got this little thing. Well worth it! I now keep it in one of my many fishing bags so I'll never be without a scale.

However I do recommend getting a fish gripper to go with this. Using the hook alone can hurt fish pretty bad.
Just attach the fish gripper to the scale then zero/tare it out, then grab the fish with the grippers. Works much better and is better for the fish anyways!

Great value for a fisherman.

swanson : good little scale

I use this to check my bows pull weight , and it seems to be spot on with the one at the archery store

Joel : Nice scale.....

Was heavier duty that I thought. Easy to read and comes on fast ready to go. I found an old cell phone case to store it in to put in my tackle box. Would be nice if it came with a padded case but it wouldn't stop me from buying again or recommending.

craig blais : good

all good ty

Jeffrey A. Hawkins : Another Good Value

I bought this as a bow scale. What a great device for the price. Seems accurate well beyond what I need. Hold the Tare button for 2 seconds and it will retain the highest value. Great feature not mentioned on scales double the price. I imagine I'll have many other uses for it in the future.

Dan Zachry : Lock

The lock feature seems to have a mind of its own. Using it, more times than not, you have to keep resetting the lock.

Kris Boddicker : Works great

It's so nice to have easy access to this, so my husband can weigh his fish right after he catches them.

Brittany : I was looking for something to hold its highest weight ...

I was looking for something to hold its highest weight and this one said it does. However, It only holds that weight after it levels out and settles on the weight. I should have bought a mechanical one that has a sliding gauge that isn't spring loaded. I'll hang onto the product for other reasons.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann : Save money on a trigger gauge

Save money on a trigger gauge -- get this fish scale. It is designed for weighing fish, but also works great to test trigger pulls on rifles. If you search for trigger gauges, be prepared for prices starting at $30 and going up from there. Ridiculous. Being desperate, I tried this for $8. It works great. No regrets. Plus, I can weigh fish if the need ever arises! BTW, my Savage Model 12, after adjusting to the lighten the pull, comes in at 22 ounces. Very repeatable.

Richard Sutton : Easy to read, accurate and solidly made!

Replacing a hard-to-read spring scale, this item is a great value and works like a charm, too! It reads in an eye-friendly size, and with the swivel handle is very easy to employ on a variety of bulky items like propane tanks. Every home should have one of these!

Blake Justice : I can't find an easy way to reset between weighing items

Seems consistent but read higher than my flat scale. I can't find an easy way to reset between weighing items, or more accurately, pressing 'tare' when weighing nothing to reset irks me

Maine_Guy : Worked for 3-4 measurements - now dead

Used 3-4 times over the course of a year. Now, it just powers on then shuts off immediately. Bummer..... new batteries don't help.

Seng Lee : Great device

Love it and tested it with a few weights. Seems to be somewhat accurate. Only problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to turn it off.

ScottA : Exceeded expectations

I wanted an inexpensive scale to weigh my bike and bike components. This small scale exceeded my expectations. Very easy to operate and I love the locking feature that freezes the weight reading as soon as the weight is stabilized. This allows me to lift my bike with the scale and when I hear the beep I can put the bike down and then read the weight and in pounds, oz or kilograms. The latter reads out to three decimal places. The scale also has a tare setting so that one can make a harness and have the scale zero out the harness weight so that only what is in the harness is being weighed. This was exactly what I wanted and at better price than I had hoped for.

Joel : Nice scale.....

Maine_Guy : Worked for 3-4 measurements - now dead

Used 3-4 times over the course of a year. Now, it just powers on then shuts off immediately. Bummer..... new batteries don't help.

Jeffrey A. Hawkins : Another Good Value

Rosa : Great Product.

My son loves using these every time he catches a fish he runs to get them have been very accurate so far

Kris Boddicker : Works great

It's so nice to have easy access to this, so my husband can weigh his fish right after he catches them.

Madhav : Very Handy

Its very useful and durable.

JaySeaAre : Simple to use. Not heavy duty.

Doesn't inspire confidence in that it seems flimsy. However, it works well and I've hung up to 43 lbs from it without it breaking.

Justin Cavanaugh : works great, especially for the cost

works great, especially for the cost. No more fish stories about the weight of my fish, now I have proof!

Yard Boy : Scale was accurate [details below]...would recommend to others

5lb gym weight registered 4.87 [-2.6%]
20lb weight registered 20.74 [+3.7%]

LCD readout numbers are bold, 1/2 inch high, and very readable even without the backlight.
Solidly built AND instruction sheet was in reasonable English :)
I would try their other products.

George : Better than expected!

I ordered this scale for weighing large amounts of sand and have been very pleased with it. Its lit display makes reading it easy. It has the usual tare function and also has many unit conversions. An unexpected feature I noticed is the scale 'locks' the reading of the weight of an object when the object is stabilized, so I can pick up very heavy objects and read the reading later rather than trying to pick up an object and read the display at the same time. The case and hook seem very durable; I have had this scale for a while and haven't had any issues.

Justin Cavanaugh : works great, especially for the cost

works great, especially for the cost. No more fish stories about the weight of my fish, now I have proof!

Dan Zachry : Lock

The lock feature seems to have a mind of its own. Using it, more times than not, you have to keep resetting the lock.

Blake Justice : I can't find an easy way to reset between weighing items

Rachana : very nice digital scale - when you have to convert lb to kg with accuracy for luggage

F.T. : A little disappointed my 157 lb whiting broke this thing but I ...

A little disappointed my 157 lb whiting broke this thing but I guess that’s the price to pay when you’re me. Works great for smaller breeds that average fishermen need

Brittany : I was looking for something to hold its highest weight ...

Ching684 : cant handle more then 40lb the screen goes blank!!

it works well easy to use, set up and tarry. its a little off but nothing major, used a 4lb certified dive weight but showed 4-4.2 sometimes. So it's a little off and when I tried to weigh luggage at 42lb the scale died on me so I had to use the regular scale that you have to step on. Bought this one in august but can't use on anything over 30lbs or it will go blank!!

James G. Johnson : Slippery

I couldn't get it to display the highest reading. Other than that it's hard to hold on to while drawing a bow. It slipped out of my hand, rocketed across the room and into the wall where it exploded.
But the 3 stars are strictly because of the not displaying peak weight.

Tom Rose : Five Stars

I used these for a lab involving forces, seemed to work great

Inventor2Go : Great scale very reasonably priced and could also read out in Lbs and Oz.

The product description did not say it but I was actually able to select pounds and ounces scale.
It worked great and was much less expensive than similar units.
It seems to be built pretty sturdy as well, the hook and handle are pretty strong.
The display is nicely backlit, weight seemed to be close to what I calculated but had no way of checking its accuracy.

JOE DERO : perfect

WORKED GREAT

derek curtis : Couldn't believe the quality/price value

I've been able to more accurately weigh inportant instruments and bicycles.so I can shed weight

Ellen : I like that it has a backlit screen and love that ...

Accurate and holding up well so far. Only gripe I have is with the plastic battery cover not fitting properly with batteries installed (I could have just gotten a defective plastic cover). Not a deal breaker by any means for the price. I like that it has a backlit screen and love that the scale locks in the final measured weight.

Bradley Helton : Great little fishing scale!

I wanted something to quickly and easily give me a rough measurement of fish. I didn't need anything tournament based so accuracy wasn't that important as long as it was close, because as every fisherman knows fish are the only thing that continue to grow after every story you tell about them.

I did test the accuracy with a 5 lb weight and it was close enough for me. The first pull was 5.43, then the next 4 in a row it pulled 5.40 so I'm happy with that. I look forward to taking this fishing and catching the next big fish that continues to grow even after it has died lol.

Bill "Hammer" : Mango Spot LCD Electronic Balance Digital Fishing Hook Hanging Scale

Bought and have no regrets! Just have to figure out whether to turn on before hanging your fish or after? I usually try zeroing it out and then weigh my fish?

Scott Miles : Tested it from 2.5 pounds to 45 Pounds

Nice little device! I bought this to weigh my propane tanks to see how much gas remained prior to a long cook. To test it out, I measured weight plates from my garage and received the following results

Stated Weight on Plate/Measured Weight from Scale
2.5/2.64
5/5.25
10/9.92
25/24.64
45/44.4

The differences were both positive and negative and did not vary much by total weight. Since I can be sure that my weight plates are exactly as stated, this is good enough for me. The key for me was to ensure that it measured reasonably well across a spectrum of weights and that it wouldn't break at the higher weights. So far, so good on that account, but only time will tell.

Harpo : Seems to be a decent scale

Not as accurate as a scale with a much higher price this scale seems to measure consistently within a few ounces.

I use it for weighing my bicycles and luggage and it seems to work great.

Amazon Customer : waste of money!

I bought this to put in a secondary tackle bag so I did not want to spend a lot of money, should have spent more and got one from berkley!
Took out of package as soon as it came in put batteries in and it turned on. I am not sure if it is not calibrated correctly or not. It says it can handle up to 110Lbs once I get a little over 1lb this thing says it is overloaded and does not display weight just beeps at you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this scale spend a little more and get a much better one.

Jim lahey : Thin plastic but does the job

Does what its supposed to but dont reccomend dropping it

you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
