I'd skip them altogether.  I weigh fish in the net and subtract the weight of the net, if you plan to release them anyway.  A mesh laundry bag works good for bass.  You can use a spring or digital scale for that stuff.  For lipping pike I use these.  I don't use them to support the weight of the fish, just to aid in hook removal.  They float when they get tossed overboard.

While I have a knock off, I'd second this recommendation.

 

Boga is on my "eventually buy" list.

I too have bought the knock-offs  with very poor results. Stick with boga

Thanks for the input everyone. Looks like Boga is hands down favorite. wasn't planning to spend 120 on a scale but hey, you only live once right?

As long as you don't lose it the boga will last a lifetime.

If it got lost it would have been YOLO'd
