Rapala Tournament Scales

I had some scales on the boat in case I happen to catch a big one. Caught one couple weeks ago I thought might be close to 2 pound. Got the scales zeroed and clipped the fish on!! 44 pounds on a 15 pound scale. Came home installed new batteries, weighted a 2 pound bag of House Autry, wow 44 pounds. Emailed Rapala hoping for suggestions on how to calibrate. They instructed me to ship it in, didn’t know how long I had it and no receipt. Didn’t expect them to do anything since I had no receipt. Shipped it on 3/07 and received new scale 3/17. WOW, in the email they said they cared about their customers. Definitely wasn’t lip service. Just had to share my experience. Checked the accuracy with 2 lb bag of House Autry and 2 lb bag of cornmeal. Both weighted 2.05. Close enough for me. Now all I need is a Biggun to weigh. Attachment 421981

Everything I weighted went to 44, I could see a broken yellow wire from the battery compartment.

Customer service is almost a thing of the past. Glad to see a company that stands behind the product.

The 16" i caught last month was 2lbs 7oz. And people say 17 inchers are 3lbs. I have seen 17 inchers weigh 2-10 and 2-15 , along with 3-3 as well.

I caught a 17"er last year in May. It was a white female that only weighed 2 & 1/4 lbs. No belly what-so-ever. I havent seen her this year...........yet!;):)
