Guys i couldnt find the topic where we were talking abot electrical scales(or must i say i was to lazy to browse around for it)
Well im bringing this up, to get an answer from anyone who works for rapala...Dont know if there is anyone from RAPALA on this forum.
I bought a rapala electric scale from my local tackle shop and it didnt want to switch on, so i took it back, got another one and we tested it in the shop where it started working, i was very stoked, anyways got to the water again and it didnt want to work AGAIN!!!So i took out the batteries put them back in and it started working, this has been the same problem everytime...ive just used it a couple of times, and the battery light is already shining warning me that the battery is nearly flat...WHAT???
Scrat then went and bought one and also didnt work...so he took hes back and bought another brand...
So now i just quickly want to know from someone...
1. Was this a bad batch??
2. Am i doing something wrong??(cause know it didnt get wet...)
3. Why is the battery not lasting( This was a brand new battery)

Guys im not saying that RAPALA is bad etc. but this was a bit of a let down, electrical scales is not cheap and because of this i bought a rapala, cause Rapala's got a good name in the World...but it looks like im wrong about this....im not sure??

Please help.

It does, but you can also switch it off yourself after youve finished weighing by holding in the button...dont get me wrong this is one awsome little scale very nice and small and very accurate, but its got these two let downs, that i want an answer for.

This looks quite like a cool gadget for the kit bag :) Where do one find these in JHB or PTA area?

I have a Rapala digital scale I got in my culling system and have had NO problems with it since the day I got it and the batteries lasted a year. So I think it might just be a bad batch

I got a Rapala Lip grip digital scale, and it works fine, yours could be a bad batch or got damaged when it was transported from the factory etc.

Also, i think that digital scale you are showing in the pic is the Budget one, so it could be a bit temperamental.

Good Luck

I bought the same piece of sh1t, and took it back the same day as it was giving me the same problems as basslover is having. I bought a more expensive proper lip grip digital scale that works like da bomb!
