To each their own, but for me I want to weigh, photo and release as fast as possible. There has been many instances where I have had to put the fish in the livewell and drive to a protected cove in order to get a weight to pop up. As mentioned by Rob these fish are better than 8 lbs and we are dealing with the typical wind here on Falcon. Like I mentioned in another thread, if I had a do over I would go another route.

WOW never had a problem with mine... weighed fish up to 9.61#

The new clip really help with Fish moving its the same type clip as the MLF uses.

If you are looking for the best bang for the buck in a scale, get an Accucull at Tackle Warehouse. Extremely accurate and only $35. Mine was so accurate out of the box I was able to get it certified.

$200+ is a lot of pennies. I've owned one and not impressed. So have the many bad reviews on tackle warehouse. Save your money. I have a touch screen berkley and it's accurate enough. For culling, use a culling beam.

For $50 I'd consider buying one as they're as accurate as any other descent hand held.

The Berkley Digital Touch Screen scales reads dang near exactly as the Cull-m-Rite does I weigh fish on both all the time. To me the 59 dollar Berkley scale is just as good.

I luv my cul-um-rite.

If you do not like yours please let me know and I will buy it for $50.

My Cul-M-Rite would not lock in the weight no matter how little or big the fish and no wind on stable ground so I sent it in to be repaired with detailed instructions of what was happening and what I would like done. Cost me Fifty something dollars for them to replace the battery (that was already working I might add)and send the scale back with a new set of instructions with the scales feature to automatically lock in the weight manually whited out. So I have a $200 scale with a $50 "Fresher Battery" that sill will not lock in a weight no matter what. How's that for customer service.

I have owned 2 of sets of Cul m Rite scales and I will say one thing that interferes with them is cell phones. I was told this by the man who builds them, Grady I believe is his name. I didn't ask him to go into detail as to why, but once I made sure my cell wasn't in close proximity, I haven't had an issue.

As for customer service, I've had nothing but positive experiences. I thought mine were reading light so I stopped by Southwest Parts and he calibrated them for free and showed me they were off by less than 1/4 of an ounce, not bad considering I had them for over a year at the time.

This past March I was fishing a tourney and made a dumb mistake ad left them laying on my back deck and made about a 6 mile run and yep ,they gone!! So, I went to purchase a new set to replace mine that I carelessly lost and after I explained why I needed a new set and the owner gave me a substantial discount on my new set. To me that is a awesome customer service!!!

Also if you don't have the grippers on them you should get a set, the fish don't flop around and you don't have the issues with them not weighing as easily.

I am very happy with my Cul M Rite scales and with the customer service I have received....

Yeah I got a bad scale and they replaced it no questions asked.....very good CS
