A buddy has it and loves it.
I’ve seen it but not used it yet.
Looks robust.
It’s waterproof and has a really decent range and accuracy for a fish scale.

Heck, I know you’re tired of cheap scales crapping out. But this one is cheap enough to try one more. Not much to lose.

Keep me posted and good luck.

havnt used mine in the salt, so i cannot say if it would hold up in salt (if that matters) only weighs up to 50lbs so if you are fishing trophy striped bass or somthing this wont work on every fish (so we hope :P)

That's what I have and it matched a certified scale I have exactly. Used it a lot to weigh fish on my fish farm.
