I like bogo's have 2 one for the boat and one for the beach... One of them is at least 7 years old and has been used heavy on the beach and boat and it works like new. This is an excellent mechanism that is easy to clean.

I think the 60# model is over priced, so I have two 30# models. I also recently purchased a cheap mustad 50# spring scale (15 bucks at west marine). It is not as accurate as the bogo (which is surpirsingly accurate to as close as you can read the scale) but if I peg the mustad scale, I know I have a big one.

save for a bogo...it lasts a lifetime and is a handy thing to have.
