BUBBA Fishing
authentic ratingPeople praise the scale itself, sturdy and handy for culling fish at a tournament. It is maddening that on top of a 60-99 dollar device they also charge 5 dollars a month for app features, and some of those do not work even after paying. Plus glitches: the screen freezes, auto-log fails to record a fish, the catch map gets the location wrong.
Reviews concretely describe working with the hardware scale: the screen sticks on 3oz, auto-log fails after the reading settles, the catch map shows the wrong spot, the mid-tier model will not connect to the app. Praise for tournament culling is specific too. The gap between storeAvg 4.79 and textAvg 3.25 reflects anger at a subscription layered onto bought hardware, not fake ratings.
