No issues with it not working or craping out when it gets wet or anything?

I'm using this one currently. Seems better built than the American weight scale I used to have. I've only had a year so far so we shall see.

A lot of us use this. Its cheap, accurate and able to be certified. I havent had any problems with water intrusion or anything like that. Ive used the same one for almost five years now.

Whisker seeker scale made by Chad Ferguson! Hands down the best most thought out scales Ive ever used or seen!
They are certifiable scales because they are so accurate. When I caught my lake record blue at lake Kirby I knew it weighed 42.20 pounds before I even messed with getting the record and it was actually what TPWD weighed it as.

I use the Whisker Seeker Tackle scale on my boat. Very accurate and love the handles. BTW.....not made by Chad he is just the pro staffer and the rod is his signature additions. Matt Davis owns the company and is a super nice guy who is very passionate about fishing and fishermen as well. Check out their warranties......simply can not be beat in the industry!!

I have been very happy with my Whisker Seeker scale. The fold out handles are great and they dont use those flat disc batteries, they run off of AAA batteries.

Really good info. I ruined my first scale by getting it wet--forgot it on the boat, once. So, waterproof is a feature I really have to have. Seeing as my memory isn't up to the task of keeping up with it. roflmao

These are the deal of the day, very accurate and certifiable. I have a set that is over 5 years old, maybe 8 and still works great. Yes maybe keep you scales in a biggie inside a weather sealed box. You can spend a lot more but why do that, they are not better scales. These weigh fish as good as any of the others.
