I think most people don't need a 60# bogo, a little too much $ if you ask me (160 aint bad 250...hmmm). I've used the 30# bogo for years really hard from the surf and boat and it works fine. I have had it jammed with sand and it cleans up great.

I do carry a bigger scale on board for those trophys but think about it...you get a 60, your going to take it home right? If not, who cares what it weights as few will belive you anyway

Actaully I think they could make some improvements in the READABILITY of the scale. I can't see it worth a damn. One thing however it is the 30# is pretty darn accurate.

I was thinking of rubbing some paint into the number etchings to see it.
