Sal what's happening. My input might be late but I have the 15lb tapas and am extremely happy to know where to find another one. That gives you my opinion. Most scales weigh up to 25-50lb. I think the 15 gives me the most accurate reading on my fish. If I were to weigh all individually I was always within .25lb. Rapala has other scales that weigh like I said up to 25 or 50, but this is my tournament scale and I can't ever see needing more than a very accurate scale that weighs up to 15lbs. I have mine in ounces but do believe it does tenths. Also like Scott mentioned, it can take a beating. I've used probably 3, maybe 4 9v batteries over the past 9-10 years. It still works great but know that I know where to get another I will be doing it very soon. Again, 15lbs is more than you will ever need for a bass fishing tourney. If it's that big, there is no need to weigh it until you show it off. Also I you don't already have a balance beam is more important than a scale
