I looked into the cullem rite scales and was ready to buy them but the reviews were horrible for a scale that cost $200 any when use them?
I have heard complaints about batteries. I have had mine 4 years and have used a bunch, but batteries still going strong.
My only complaint a couple times I've had a hard time weighing 8+ pound fish. There are a few tricks to help get in bottom of boat and keep arm braced against something.
I've fished a few big bass tournaments and they are generally within a couple of hundredths of the tournament scales. That can mean alot.
well, my experience, I've never had a tournament not overweigh my fish, especially on big bass. I expect the tournament to weigh my fish about 5-8% higher than the CUL-M-RITE (I've never had a tournament under my CUL-M-RITE). Multiple times a year I go buy 5-10 pounds of meat and have them weigh it on 3-4 different certified scales. It is SCARRY how close CUL-M-RITE is, it usually comes in within 0.01-0.02 of certified.
