FWIW, I just bought the new one Mike is carrying at M&D's. It has the lock back feature then just push the button and it clamps down. 60 lb scale and able to certified (much like myself) I really like that thing. I used it quite often (small fish mind you) and it held nicely and did not appear to have too much tension that might appear to harm the fish. It cost something like $95 and was well worth it, thusfar.
