Review: tournament tested and proven - great scale! - to start, i want to point out the differences in the two scales. the 15lb scale weighs with an accuracy within one ounce, while the 50lb scale has an accuracy within 4oz, or 1/4lb. otherwise, i think the two scales are about identical. i bought the 15lb version of this scale for use in the bass fishing tournament my bar holds every year. i was unsure how well a digital handheld scale would perform, so i got it a couple weeks early and took it everywhere with me to test it out. once i figured out how to turn it on and navigate through the various functions included, i was quite pleased. it feels very sturdy, even though it is also very light-weight. the grip is rubberized and textured so it won't slip from your hands, even when wet. judging by the picture on the listing, i was concerned that the spring-clip clamp for securing fish to the scale wouldn't be very good at keeping hold of the fish. i was wrong! it is a very strong clamp, easily capable of holding on to enough weight to max out the scale. i never even felt the need to switch the clamp out with the included hook, because it did so well on its own. my second concern was that the scale, being so light-weight and digital, may not be very accurate. in doing a bit of research, i found out that the scale calibrates every time you turn it on. so being the way i am, i wandered around the house and found several items to weigh and see how accurate the scale pegged their weights. about three times out of four, it was dead on, and nine times out of ten, it was within one ounce on 3lb and 5lb weights. it is possible, however, to throw the calibration off if you're careless while turning the scale on (resting it on your lap or applying any force to the chain) but if you simply hold the scale up and keep it still when you turn it on, it calibrates pretty accurately and consistently. i attribute the weighing inaccuracies to me moving with the scale in-hand while turning it on. once i figured out how to get a good calibration, it was dead on every time. by tournament day i was confident the scale was good enough. every time i turned the scale on to weigh fish, i would first test it with the 3lb weight to ensure an accurate calibration. having had plenty of practice at this point, i got accurate calibrations every time. my biggest enjoyment using this scale was the ability to be mobile. in the past, we've had hanging scales that required a sturdy floor stand. being able to climb right up onto the live wells with this scale in hand was very convenient. my second biggest enjoyment was the comments i kept getting about the scale i was using. one guy commented that he didn't trust the weights i got on his fish, so i welcomed him to pull out his scale and we'd compare. the total weight across five fish was one ounce difference (18lb 9oz on my scale vs 18lb 8oz on his). that both surprised and upset him, as he thought his fish were bigger than that (don't we all?). i did not use the included culling system, but i can see it being handy. i also did not use the weight bins for storing and calculating weight totals, because while we set the scale to display weight in pounds-ounces, the running total weight is only measured in 1/100th pounds. i can confirm that the bins work though, and would be very handy if you chose to use them. overall, i am very pleased with this product. the touch screen requires a bit of pressure to operate, and the functions take a bit of memorizing to get used to. the backlight is handy but shuts off pretty rapidly. the temperature readings are inaccurately high, probably affected by being in the sun or if you're holding it in your hand for a while. but hey, we all have our quirks :) for $40, i don't think you'll find a better (or more versatile) handheld scale.
Review: Never knew a scale could make me excited. - This scale is just awesome. Temperature readout is nice. Saving 8 weights is awesome and tells you separately and combined weights in an easy to read format. The tags to keep your fish marked are well made. Scale seems to be pretty darn accurate and I would agree with confidence that it is within a +/- oz. The scale is backlit which made early morning and late evening so much easier and enjoyable. The clamp is SOLID! It's hard to open but gives you piece of mind with the fish not going anywhere and also not having to try more than one time once its on the clamp. Only thing is I almost felt bad for the bass I was weighing because of how strong the clamp is but they didn't react bad or take any damage. Only thing I could possibly try to complain about was that it was a little tricky to learn all of the great functions and settings on it but the directions were easy to read and very short and clear. I was using the scale as if I had it for years within 3 operations. It comes with directions in the box and then... SO SMART!!!... another copy sewn into the inside of the soft carrying case it comes with. THIS SCALE ROCKS! You need it now and the price is ridiculously low for a scale of this quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Tourney Scale
*by W***3 on May 1, 2015*

This is one of the best tourney scales I have had in a long time. Very cool that it is touch screen (no learning curve, just touch where you want to store things). The clip is very strong and actually to the point that it is hard to get the clip open because it has so much clamping power. You can weigh a fish, and store that fish weight into one of the 8 storing spots that corresponds to a culling ball that is also included. Total weight is also shown. The accuracy appears to be very good, the screen is backlit when you need it to be. All in all, this is a very good scale and perfect for keeping track of all your fish. For a pretty good price too, I have seen scales that cost more and dont do what this one does. Also comes with a storing bag and the hook clip if thats what you prefer. Temperature is also displayed on this thing, although I dont really need that. Update 6/16: Be careful when lifting the fish out of the livewell. I have had a couple of clips break when the fish flops and there is the right amount of pressure on them as your taking it off. Clips will stay in the fishes mouth but also break easily. Dropping my star rating to a four because the clips break after use.
