My old scale finally gave it up. Which scale do y'all think is the best one to have?

I have used this one for 9 years. Still widely available.

Rapala Digital Scale, hands down!

The rapala scale is a very good scale, but I have had a hard time getting one to last more than a year and a half and I fish tournaments a few times a month year round. They are great scales, but mine would just wig out or stop working. My third one just quit on me back in december so I just went ahead and bought the CUL-M-RITE scales. they are just as good if not better plus the electronic stuff is encased in epoxy so its waterproof unlike the rapala scale.

I think the water got to mine. I like the sound of the CUL-M-Rite being encased in epoxy. Thanks guys

Cull-M-Rite if money is no object. I also have an Accu-Cull that is much cheaper and pretty accurate; weighs .04 lighter than the Bass Champs scales.

I use the rapala touch screen one. Can save up to 8 different weights. Never have had a problem with it. Hope this helps.

+1 thumb

Any digital scale is better than no scale at all but the Cull-M-Rite is far & away the best for accuracy.

How much do you want to spend, what do you want a scale to do?


There are a lot of decent options out there...
