This is a handy little scale. I like how the scale book swings up and stays out of the way. I like how the tape measure drops down so you can measure while it's on the scale. Others that I've seen pull out the side which pointless. It seems pretty rugged. Little bit bigger than I was anticipating but not overly large. Functions like it should. About the only thing you need to really pay attention to is holding the power button until it completely turns off.

so far, nothing bad about it that i can think of other than i could NOT find anything of how the taring works or anything of that nature other than the basic features it states. but i figured it out with spending a few minutes testing stuff.so, to anyone who doesn't know, as I've never owned a fish scale til now. this scale tare's as soon as you power it on. it also has a manual tare if you tap the power button once, the numbers flash a couple times and it tare's. SO, if you are using the gripper that comes with this, the gripper weighs 4oz, so turning it on WITH the gripper hanging on it OR pressing the power button will tare the gripper weight for a more accurate reading while using the gripper.now, I'm unsure if this is the same with most of these scales as a well an already known thing or not but the ONLY thing picky I've noticed with this scale and weighing stuff... you REALLY need to keep it as level and strait as possible for the most accurate readings. i stopped using the handle it has on top and started gripping the sides as i can hold it easier that way to keep it as strait and level as i can. you tilt a little too much in ANY direction, it WILL be off, how much it's tilted will determine how in-accurate the reading will be.Now, with all that out the way. so far i tested from 1lbs to 16lbs and it was VERY accurate. i used full unopened NOS energy drink cans which are 16fl oz cans and they weight exactly 1.126lbs per can, which to this scale will be 1lbs 2.016oz(it doesn't read less than an a whole OZ so it only shows 1lb 2oz on the scale) i used 2 shopping bags and the gripper to do this also and used the tare on it all before adding the the cans. kept placing a can in one by one and it was dead accurate til i hit the 15-16lbs which was 1-2oz off, BUT from holding it so long my arm started shaking so that could have affected it's reading, i put i think 1 or 2 more cans after that and it was still reading accurately. so, i'm VERY happy this scale was THAT accurate. i will attempt to make a video on this at some point and i will also try to make it stationary to show how accurate it is and such. but until then... this is a VERY accurate scale when used right. so i'd say if you're eye-balling this scale, go for it. the gripper is up to you, but i went ahead and got the one that came with the gripper as i figured it'd be easier and safer for weighing fish and it has been as well as has helped with using it for testing it's accuracy.UPDATE: 9/20/2024so far i've been randomly testing it with the same cans over the last couple weeks to know what variances it consists of, it does seem to vary from each time it's used/turned on BUT the most off weight i've gotten so far was a consistent 2oz lower than it's suppose to be, i had one instance where it was 4oz off, but i think i didn't tare it right nor was holding it strait. but other wise, 3oz is the lowest when i was testing in one of the instances, but it was a specific amount of it being 2oz off so it was probably slowly climbing more off as it went up. but when it wants to be accurate, it seems dead accurate still. just get the off weighs that could be upto 2-3oz less than it's suppose to be. if you don't tare it, it will be 4oz more because of the gripper or whatever else that wasn't added to the tare which is the only time it's been over the weight. unsure if temperature is affecting it either. testing it in a 68f apartment most of the time.

I bought this scale for fishing and I’m very satisfied with it. It is very accurate and easy to use. The digital display is clear and bright, and the memory function is very handy. The scale is water-resistant and floats, so I don’t have to worry about dropping it in the water. The handle is comfortable and sturdy, and the hook is strong and sharp. The tape measure is also a nice bonus, as I can measure my fish without taking them off the hook. The lip gripper is also very useful and gentle on the fish. It holds them securely without puncturing their mouths. The scale is compact and lightweight, and it comes with batteries included. It’s a great product for any angler who wants to weigh and measure their catch easily and safely. I highly recommend it!

Kastking always comes through with great value on the fishing gear you need. I've been playing the guessing game for way too long when it comes to fishing, so when I saw Kastking had this new combo I jumped on it. The scale is nice and compact. It's also super easy to read with the backlight on or off. The lip grip seems to be well made and should hold up to anything I catch. I haven't tested the "floating" feature of the grip yet, but I don't really plan to thanks to the nice long lanyard that comes attached to them.

Overall I have been looking for an affordable and well working fishing scale for a long time. I noticed that many scales were either very expensive and out of my price range or they were super cheap and not well made. When I bought this though I found the perfect combination. The weighing system is very accurate and easy to use. It is also easy to understand but has enough features to keep track of a long day on the water. The fish gripper is also a nice add on so you don't need to put the scale tip under the gill plate and you can see the fish's weight by grabbing it with the grabber and attaching it to the scale. This is a great product that I highly recommend.
