Product reviews of 227863 Rapala Digital Fish Gripper, Black/Silver

cdit : Two Stars

The gripper part is great the scale is measurement is not very accurate

Mike Carstairs : Useless

Does not work. Overs pound off.

Kin K. Ng : I have tried a Rapala handheld digital scales and it's about an ounce or 2 off but this one is really bad. Some ebay China made

It's very inaccurate, up to 1 or more pound differences. I have tried a Rapala handheld digital scales and it's about an ounce or 2 off but this one is really bad. Some ebay China made ones are better and cheaper than this. This is the most expensive and least accurate digital scales (I have 7) I have even owned. I guess I will be going back to my trusty analog el cheapo scale fish grip.

William H. : Satisfied with purchase! (I purchased 2)

The gripper worked great but I had the battery cover come off more than once - I ended up taping it so I wouldn't drop it in the water ,otherwise, I was pleased.

Stuart Garber : Received this scale for Christmas and am very satisfied with it

Received this scale for Christmas and am very satisfied with it. I live on a waterway in fort Lauderdale and fish for large mouth and Peacock almost every day. It's so fun to weigh the fish and keep a log. I discovered that prior to the scale my estimates of weight were way over reality!! Great product and it made me an honest man when telling about my fish weight.

Stuart Garber : Received this scale for Christmas and am very satisfied with it

David : Grips the fish very nice.

All in one with a good grip and a digital scale that works very good.

William J Jennings : Handles fish good but utility stops there

Very nice scale for handling fish. I bought it to get accurate readings for tournament bass. Worked for about a month and then went squirrely. Would not zero set. Changing batteries worked but after a few weeks (very few) it would not turn on. Buy something else as this one is very expensive for the durability.

Mike Carstairs : Useless

Does not work. Overs pound off.

Xenko : Was hoping this would be good but owning the Digital Gambler as well

Very inaccurate. Was hoping this would be good but owning the Digital Gambler as well, it didn't stay consistent as well. Best to stick with the culling hook scales.

Axayacatl Garcia Utrera : Excelente producto

Excelente, muy práctico para pesar los peces

Big Moe : Rapala Digital Fish Gripper

I caught a Large Mouth Bass the other day and was very excited after realized that caught a beast for a Bass. When proceeded to weighted with this Rapala Digital Fish Gripper I was very disappointed to see in the screen .36oz!!!! not 3.36lbs, .36OZ!!! I turned it off immediately with fish still in hand and again the scale failed miserably giving me a good reading. at the end, I released the fish back to the pond only having an idea that could weighted almost 5lbs. and not .36oz. The time I had to return it has expired so I'm very stuck with an almost $50 piece of garbage that doesn't work. PS, Batteries were brand new.

We never received it. Fedex lost it and the vendor had no more.

gunbear821 : used the scale weighing an assortment of very nice bass - what I realized is that the scale's ...

At first I wasn't sure about the accuracy of the scale - but I just went with it and recently, while fishing and having an exceptional day fishing for smallmouth bass,used the scale weighing an assortment of very nice bass - what I realized is that the scale's calculation is spot on as long as you don't leave the fish hanging too long - the scale starts to change (not sure why) so I just took the first reading and left it at that - since I have been bass fishing for a long time, I can "guess-timate" the approximate weight so I'm comfortable with the reading of the scale.

The gripper is what I like best - by gripping the lower lip of bass - it immobilizes them long enough to get a reading -other scales rely on a hook and many times, the fish wiggles free from the hook so it takes longer to weigh them and possibly injuring them.

As long as you are satisfied with "approximate" weights - the scale works just fine - if you are in a tournament, thhe scale will give you a good idea where your at. If you want totally accurate weights, then you'll have to use a certifed scale.

For my purposes, it works great for live on the boat "bragging rights".

Wesley Molczyk : Good buy

Works great.

Ktxtc : Fish

Bought as a gift for my boyfriend. Loves it so far but hasnt been able to use it just yet.
