After years of reliable service to the tournament fishing community, we're announcing the retirement of our Model 357 Tournament Scale. This trusted entry-level weighing system will be discontinued after Black Friday 2024, making way for its successor, the Model 555, which is set to launch on December 15, 2024.

A Legacy of Affordable Excellence

The Model 357 has long been the go-to choice for tournament organizers working with limited budgets who refused to compromise on quality. Despite its affordable price point, this scale brought professional-grade features to grassroots tournaments:

• Precise dual-mode readings in pounds (.01 lb accuracy) or pounds and ounces (to the nearest tenth ounce)
• Reliable Weight-Hold technology that locks the measured weight on the LCD display
• Generous 11" x 15" stainless steel platform ensuring stable weighing
• Versatile power options with both battery (22-hour life) and AC/DC operation
• Auto Zero Tracking to handle water buildup without constant zeroing

More Than Just a Budget Option

What made the Model 357 special wasn't just its affordability – it was its ability to deliver tournament-rated performance when it mattered most. The Weight-Hold feature, in particular, became a tournament favorite, maintaining the locked weight on screen until manually cleared, ensuring accurate recording of each catch.

Looking Ahead

While we're saying goodbye to the Model 357, we're excited about the future. The upcoming Model 555 represents our commitment to continuous innovation in tournament weighing technology, bringing new features while maintaining the accessibility that made the 357 so popular. Stay tuned for more details about this new addition to our lineup when it launches on December 15, 2025.

In the meantime, for tournaments requiring advanced features like NTEP certification and wireless connectivity, our flagship CS19 Scale System continues to set the standard for professional tournament weighing.
