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.

Alex Poliquin : Not worth it

Does not work good at all, do not buy

Ktxtc : Fish

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

Jimmie D : I've now had the occasion to weigh several nice bass with it - works great

I've now had the occasion to weigh several nice bass with it - works great. Zeros out readily prior to use.Threw the old one away. Wish that I'd had it to weigh the very big bass caught in March. Highly recommend this scale.

Carlos B. : Great fishing tool

This product is a great fishing tool, excellent to grab fish and weight them. The scale is very accurate and it is very easy to use it. However, i wish this fish gripper would come with a ruler in order to check the fish lenght too.

Em : Easy to handle 10 pound fish.

I’ve had mine for 8 years. The Gripper is great for large fish. Great for fish with teeth.
The scale is off by 10 percent. No big deal.
Great scale.

Matt : can't believe I spent 70 but is on this crap

It got a bit wet in my kayak the first trip and it stopped working. I took it apart and it was improperly assembled. The whole inside was cracked because the screws and circuit board were put in wrong. Garbage product!

SILVIO ROBERTO ISOLA : Four Stars

ité really works

cdit : Two Stars

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

Justin G. : Not Really Water Resistant

I've had these grippers for two seasons now. I've really enjoyed having the scale around to weigh fish during tournaments to see approximately where I'm at. This year, I took them with me on a fishing trip to Guntersville, AL. We got some pretty heavy rain while we were out and my scale stopped working. Despite drying them out, they still won't turn back on even with a fresh new battery. I would have given these grips five stars all day long but they claimed to be "water resistant" and that clearly isn't the case.

Karen Ann Barrett : Great product...bad description

I spent a great deal of time trying to find this product as the title is calling it a comfort seat. It is a great grabbing/weighing device but the title still hasn't been corrected.

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".
