Questions about Rapala RHCDS50 High Contrast Digital Scale ,Black, 50 lbs.

Can you buy just the clamp

Answer: You can find the clamp at tacklewarehouse

Answer: Not that I know of

Where can I buy another gripper

What is the Bluetooth for?

Answer: Mine doesn’t have Bluetooth

Answer: I was wondering the same thing. It has the Bluetooth symbol on the screen but can't seem to find any information about it

Answer: Why are you asking what bluetooth is for on an Amazon listing for a fishing scale? If you need to know what bluetooth is for, I suggest doing a google search. You will find all the information you'll ever need about bluetooth...... Good luck!

Answer: I do not know. It was a gift

Can this scale be adjusted for weight variances?

Answer: You can set tare weight but, cannot be calibrated.

Answer: Yes. You have to deal with the play button. It is difficult to explain in writing but there is a YouTube video that shows

On my unit, temp is shown in Celcius. Does anyone know how to set the scale to Fahrenheit?

I am looking for a scale for the trophy catch program. I need to photograph the fish and the weight together. Is the display bright outdoors?

Answer: IMG_8797.JPG

Answer: I like the scale, but is not durable. I dropped it one time and I had to get a new one.

Answer: Yes it is and is very accurate.

What does the bottom number mean? This shows 14 pounds

Answer: It shows the weight stored in the memory location indicated by the square box (2) in the picture that is in the link that came with this question - top number is the current weight. This is a nice unit - I really like mine.

Answer: The bottom number indicates the total pounds of fish you have weighed and saved.

Answer: Total of fish caught. Think it holds 5 or more catches at a time

Answer: It stores prior up to eight other catches in memory and that is the largest in memory. Max

Answer: Yes

Does it come with a case

Answer: Nope. It does not come with a case.

Answer: No case

Answer: No

Answer: No.

Answer: No

Answer: No mine did not

Answer: No

What about water proof

Answer: This scale broke a week after I bought it. Would not recommend it.

Answer: Rain?Maybe, but I doubt it would survive a dunking.

Will these grips adequately hold a 20-40lb salmon and hold up over time?

Answer: Probably not, I got it for bass and have replaced the clamp twice already with much smaller fish. I think the scale would be fine though.

Answer: 32 lbs for sure! Not sure about 40 haven’t caught anything that big yet lol

Does it feature peak hold capability?

Answer: I have weighed 5lbers with it no problem

Answer: Not real sure about that but mine works great I love it

Answer: Don’t understand the question.

If you caught a 30lb fish, how would you hold this scale? Whats the loop at top used for?

Answer: holding it

Is it waterproof?

Answer: Don’t know mine broke in 3 days.#CorksUnderGuideService

is this scale waterproof or at least water resistant? What is the warranty on it?

Answer: It was a gift

does it come with a warranty? If so, how long is the warranty? Is it waterproof or water resistant?

Answer: 12 months mail in warranty. The scale is water resistant NOT waterproof. I would expect in fresh water you might be able to dry it out if you sent it swimming - but i would not depend on that.

Why is there a Bluetooth symbol when you boot it up?

Answer: No idea - it does NOT have bluetooth

Bought the rcd scale from sweden, and i looked especially for the lip grip option, but i got the hook. i will not use this, can i get one separately?

Overpriced on amazon? so much for being a prime member. much cheaper on tackle warehouse.

what is the graduation/accuracy of this scale? 0.2lbs/10g?

Answer: It has both that you can select

Is there a way to adjust it? In case the weight gets off. Someone said in the reviews there’s was way off.

Answer: You can tare out the the weight very easily with the press of a button. I believe that is what the customer did not do which caused the weights to be off.

Anyone know how to use the bluetooth, and dont respond with "it was a gift" please

Answer: I bought one it broke 3 days later very cheap would not buy it again.#CorksUnderGuideService

Is it possible to buy the tiny fish grippers independently?

Answer: Yes. I have seen the grippers sold separately. I don’t remember where though.

Is the screen backlight for nighttime use or will it need to have a light shined on it?

Answer: Lights up at night.

Answer: Yes it does.

Answer: We think for sure It does but we have not night fished. It is really nice.

this scale has bluetooth, what is it used for?

Answer: Weighing fish no Bluetooth

Answer: There is clearly a Bluetooth symbol in the upper right corner that displays briefly when it’s powered on. Since it’s not mentioned anywhere in the manual nor on Rapala’s website, my guess is that there will probably be a newer (and more expensive) version coming that has Bluetooth.

Answer: I'm not aware that it has Bluetooth options

Answer: It doesn't have bluetooth.

Answer: Send info to phone etc

Product reviews of Rapala RHCDS50 High Contrast Digital Scale ,Black, 50 lbs.

Tony S. : Works good

Works good

Cousin Kev : Fools gold

Bought this thing relying on Rapala to make a quality product and was really dissatisfied.A scale should weigh accurate and I really didn’t have much confidence in what it was saying.It also didn’t last more than about 10 fishing trips till it didn’t work at ever again.Not real happy

josh francis : A+

Works great

Amazon Customer : Disappointed

Hard to read in bright sunlight.

Rene Gonzalez : Comes calibrated

Very easy to operate, weighing is now so easy

co co ware : Last one I plan on buying!

Worth the price. Easy to navigate the controls and it’s rugged enough to survive on the deck of my bass boat!

Rene Gonzalez : Comes calibrated

Very easy to operate, weighing is now so easy

Amazon Customer : great quality

love the LCD screen. small enough to carry with you even on small trips

Joe R. : Good Scale

Awesome scale so far. Love the bottle opener

D. Jackson : Wouldn't purchase again

Used this for a few months and then all of a sudden for some reason it had trouble turning on. Thought it was the batteries dying, so I changed them. Couple of fish later, it wouldn't turn on again. Got to the point where I would have to take the batteries out of it every time I wanted to weigh a fish. Then this week the nut came off of the inside clip. For the price, I expected something that would last more than 6 months. Very little use before I had to buy something else.

Robert Wright : Must have

Must have for tournament fishing, makes culling fast and efficient

Rene Gonzalez : Comes calibrated

Very easy to operate, weighing is now so easy

Jesse Barfield : Works Well

Works well. I like that it shows the temp and the 8 storage slots. I, also, like the fact you can replace the smallest weight (any weight) if you catch a bigger one.

Christopher Daniel Bright : Great scale

Great scale of the price use it all the time in tournament fishing.

Kindle Customer : Nice scale

Wish it came with better instructions but other than that it's great

rob g : Best fish scale in the market.

Works great and does what it says.

Tony S. : Works good

Works good

Patrick Frase : Wont stay on all of a sudden

Bought this back in June for my bass tournaments and league events. It worked great and it was accurate for most of the summer. Now it doesnt work. Wont stay on. Keeps flashing at me. Of course its now past its return date and I cant get it replaced.

Made in China! Dont buy!

Chopper : Nice little scale

I received my new scale and immediately performed a calibration. I'm a calibration tech, so I have calibrated weights. Here is the as found data. @0.441 lbs = 0.44; @1.1023 lbs = 1.12 lbs; @2.205 lbs= 2.20 lbs; @4.409 lbs = 4.43 lbs

kevin peters : Stopped working after one short use.

Took it out fishing one day and it worked ok other than being off on weight a bit. Next time out it won't give a weight for anything. I've fooled with it and gone through the instructions for 20 minutes at home and it's still not working. I was ready to toss it in the trash but my wife talked me into returning it. I would not recommend buying it.

Michael Roark : Works well. Small grippers

The grippers are a little too small and the screen is hard to read when wearing polarized sunglasses. Unfortunately mine are prescription I can't just slide them down.

A Scoggins Ga. : Super quality

Use this fishing . Good quality and easy to use.

James Hinds : A little tricky at first

It's a little tricky to figure out at first but once you spend some time using it and getting to know it, it's a pretty sweet scale!

Jon : Excellent scales

Very durable and high end… not cheap at all! Also, very accurate!

DeLon : Rapala fish scale

Works great

Rob : Rapala high contrast scale

Very nice light weight fishing scale

JJ Johnson : Easy to read with options

The scale is more compact than I expected, and very easy to use. It's a little pricey, but definitely loaded with options to make it worth it. The screen is easy to read. It comes with two fish holding options, a lip clamp used in this photo and a gill hook. The scale is easy to zero and can record several fish weights. The metal loop at the top is also a bottle opener.

Jesse Barfield : Works Well

Works well. I like that it shows the temp and the 8 storage slots. I, also, like the fact you can replace the smallest weight (any weight) if you catch a bigger one.

Victor H. : Very easy to set up and use

Very easy to set up and use, And I like the fact that it powers off by itself

William Fisher : Works great

I keep this in my boat and it works great. Easy to use, easy to read and keeps the top weights of you want it to. It’s great!!

Amazon Customer : BEST fish scale

really like the jaws and easy to use

carla : Great for those who need to know!

Given as a gift, reliever was very happy

LifeStory : It’s a real pity that poor user interface let it down.

Poor user interface
————————-
The design looks cool but the use of many cursors buttons simply does not match up to the confusing browser menu. Whose is going to remember holding the button down for more than 3 seconds will activate the measurement units change sequence from Lb to Kg or vice versa. Saving the weight readings into each of the 5 memories slot is just as challenging.

Poor backlighting that readings hard to read- what can I say more ? Font size need to be bigger and there is no need for more than 1 row of readings.

Amazon Customer : Easy to use

Won’t hurt the fish

Christopher Daniel Bright : Great scale

Great scale of the price use it all the time in tournament fishing.

maloney b. alfons : Outstanding

Excellent. Totally love it. Works really good. Recommend

Scott C. : Well built

Haven't used it a whole lot but really like all the features and the sturdy construction

Amazon Customer : Disappointed

Hard to read in bright sunlight.

Scott C. : Well built

Haven't used it a whole lot but really like all the features and the sturdy construction

Quinn : Good product

Nice and compact. Love it

A Scoggins Ga. : Super quality

Use this fishing . Good quality and easy to use.

david rachamim : Very good weight

Very good weight! Very lightweight with an option to lbs-oz temperature. Even the opener for a beer bottle he has. A lighted display with weight-saving and a few more options ... in short I really liked it!

JL : Awesome quality

Awesomw

katie Kahut : Garbage...lasted 2 months

Poor quality lasted 2 months...everything weighs 22lbs now!!

MARK : Works great

Works great

Tony S. : Works good

Works good

Amazon Customer : Disappointed

Hard to read in bright sunlight.

Jb : Easy to use

I really like this scale. The only thing I don’t care for is that when in a hurry, it is harder to turn on than it should be. When you hold down the button, make sure to hold it down long enough. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself having to “turn it on” again because it didn’t fully power up. Annoying so it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Bryan Lowhorn : Great value

Easy to read digital display. Seems well built. Really like the ability to save individual and overall weight. And to be able to save multiple users.

Robin Travis : Never worked right

We caught 2 catfish an tried to weigh them an never done right at all. NEVER GAVE A READING AT ALL. I'm very disappointed at this so we tried another scale that is not digtial an it showed the weight just fine. So what is wrong with this scale we purchase from you?
Not Happy.
