I almost bought one too, but I tried a cheaper model first to see how it was carrying around a scale.I didn't like having another piece of gear hanging off me so I didn't get one.

Also, trying to weigh a writhing, live fish can be tough sometimes. Partner and I tried weighing a fish this year while out on the rocks wetsuiting. We didn't get a real close weight on the fish because it was squirming and thus, killed one that would have been released if it was more accurately weighed as it turned out 5# lighter than we thought it was.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
