5 Best Digital Fish Scales

Piscifun Fish Lip Gripper Review

The best digital fish scale for the UK market doesn’t require you to hook right under the gill plate, but instead, you clutch the fish between the pincers and let it all hang out.

The light-up LCD display provides decent brightness, but will have a bit of glare on the screen when under direct high noon sunlight.

On-board memory helps you save the last 10 weight readings, so if you’re making big catches and weighing them all at once, you’ll have a short history to backtrack in.

There’s a total of a 27 kg load capacity, so if you manage to catch anything that big, this will still oblige no matter what. It’s waterproof to the point that it can be completely submerged for up to five minutes.

Dr. Meter Fishing Electronic Weighing Scales Review

Dr. Meter uses a drop-down hook and tape system to give you manual and digital readings on your fish, accurate down to 0.005 kg, so you can know exactly what you catch and what you have to throw back.

As one of the best rated digital fish scale models to ever exist, it comes with a fair price, but also comes with a AAA battery supply. That would normally be terrible, but if you’re on an all-day trip, a pack of batteries ensures consistent results all throughout the day.

One other reason that this hits the nail on the head is the ultra blue backlit LCD display for bright daytime viewing, and the excessive 50 kg total weight capacity. I can say with certainty that this is the last digital fish scale you’ll ever need to buy.

Bite Max Digital Electronic Weighing Hook Scale Review

You want absolute power? Bite Max brings that to you. Similarly to Dr. Meter, this scale grants up to 50 kgs of accurate weight reading, albeit it with a smaller minimum parameter.

The bright backlit screen displays your weight clearly, while the smart handle on top can extend to hang on just about anything while you weigh your fish.

Your chassis is made of high-end polymers (expensive plastics) that help repel water, and don’t warp or crack from extended UV exposure if you happen to leave it out while on your boat.

Bite Max only includes a 12-month warranty with this purchase, but if you put it through its paces, that should be more than enough time to ensure everything works properly.

Sansoak Fishing Scale Review

Is weight capacity everything to you? Sansoak seems to think so, because they equipped this with up to 70 kgs of maximum weight cap. The only reason it didn’t rank higher on the list is because most of us don’t need more than 50 kgs.

However, the backlit screen is fantastic. It’s bright green, so the contrast of black to green means you’ll see everything displayed on the screen.

With a hanging scale and retractable tape, you’ll have just about everything you need to weigh fish quickly and accurately. The calibration steps don’t take long at all, making Sansoak great for newcomers who just want to get out on the water.

OLRIKE Fishing Scale Review

Last but not least, this blue-light backed fishing scale comes with clear visuals down to 0.005 kg, and includes a carabiner and carrying bag for when this isn’t in use.

The ghook is made of stainless steel and pulls down accurately, although calibrating this model can take some time and patience.

Maxing out at 50 kgs, you’ll have more than enough capacity for pretty much everything you catch.

All it takes is two AAA batteries to get started, which should run for six to ten hours depending on how long this is left on. There’s an auto shut-off feature after two minutes to save battery life.
