    'GOOD SCALES'

    Overall:
    A bit pricey for scales, but I think worth it.

    'VERY ACCURATE, PRECISE AND WELL MADE'
    Strengths:
    This has been covered pretty well by the other reviewers. I do like the illuminated read out. Perfect at night.
    Weaknesses:
    They are too heavy and bulky for me.
    Overall:
    The concept is brilliant. However I would like to see a similar scale without all the other features mentioned that just might be half the size.

    'WISH I BOUGHT THIS EARLIER'
    Strengths:
    So accurate to what ive ever used before, Im having to start my p.b list again from scratch but now at least knowing that the reading is correct.
    It really is amazing how un-accurate my old scales were compared to the fox digitals and with the added features you get with them such as backlighting for night time use retrievable readings from stored memory, Date/time all logged in, Incremental readings e.t.c I could go on, All in all a fantastic bit of kit.
    Weaknesses:
    If i had to have one gripe it would have to be the size, There just a little big for the days when you want to take the bare minimum possible.
    Overall:
    A real confidence booster that the all important fish you catch are the correct weight, No ifs and no buts.
    Excellent and should last a very long time.

    'Handy bit of bankside kit '
    Strengths:
    Where to start.......
    Looking at the articles in magazines etc, I thought these scales were massive. They arent, quite the opposite. They fit in your pocket easily and are fairly lightweight. You dont need to buy a weigh bar as they have strong handles built into the scales which can be folded down.

    They are supplied with a strong plastic case which just fits over the front of the scales.Memory to record the weights of your catches.Backlight,easy to read Screen.

    Clock,calender,read out in pounds or kilos.

    Come with little instruction cards which can be stuck to the back of the scales to remind you how to work them.

    Payed full price for mine but they can be bought for around 69 quid.
    Weaknesses:
    "Exceptional value".....I sort of know where fox are coming from because they are of the highest quality but they still aren't cheap at 74.99.

    They are so much easier to carry around when stalking etc, but make up for it in weight.
    Overall:
    Fantastic scales. Digital is the way forward and I recommend these to anyone thinking of upgrading their scales.

    They have a clock for people who literally live for fishing.

    10 out of 10. Great product

    'GET SOME!'
    Strengths:
    According to my testing they are accurate. (My old Waymasters had been weighing light.)
    Very quick and easy to use.
    Protective cover breeds confidence I will have them for a very long time.
    Battery last much better than expected.
    Weaknesses:
    It would nice if they were slightly smaller and lighter.
    Overall:
    My old Waymasters had to be zeroed every time ebfore weighing a sling, then a fish.
    With the Fox's I stick on the sling, press the 'zero' button, put the fish in the sling and weigh it. That's it!
    Great!

    'EXCELLENT SCALES'
    Strengths:
    good for loggong catches and more important, accurate weights. I tested mine on known weights
    Weaknesses:
    A bit on the heavy side for the roving angler
    Overall:
    good kit, and having a crap memory I like the logging bit.
