Tournament Scales vs Mother Nature: Built for Any Weather

Tournament fishing doesn't stop for weather, and neither should your weighing equipment. Modern tournament scales are engineered to perform in conditions that would sideline ordinary scales. Let's explore how today's tournament scales stand up to Mother Nature's toughest challenges.

Built for Temperature Extremes

Our latest CS19 scale system operates reliably in temperatures from -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C). This isn't just a specification - it's a necessity for tournaments running year-round across diverse climates:

• Ice fishing tournaments in Minnesota winters
• Summer bass tournaments in Florida heat
• Early morning weigh-ins with frost on the ground
• Late afternoon finals in scorching sun

The IP67 Advantage

When we say our CS19 is IP67 rated, we mean business. This international standard certification means:

• Complete protection against dust (the '6' in IP67)
• Waterproof in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes (the '7' in IP67)
• Protected against heavy rain and splashing
• Safe from humidity and condensation

Battling the Wind

Wind is often the biggest challenge at outdoor weigh-ins. Our scales incorporate multiple features to maintain accuracy in breezy conditions:

• Advanced motion filtering technology that distinguishes between fish movement and wind effects
• Stable platform design to minimize wind impact
• Recommendations for wind shield placement in extreme conditions

Display Visibility in All Conditions

What good is accuracy if you can't read the weight? Our displays are designed for visibility in challenging conditions:

• Backlit LCD screen visible in direct sunlight
• Adjustable brightness levels for different lighting conditions
• LED remote displays visible from 50+ feet away

Power That Performs

Battery performance can suffer in extreme temperatures, so we've engineered power systems that stay reliable:

• Internal lithium-ion batteries rated for extreme temperatures
• Up to 18 hours of operation on a single charge
• Multiple power options including AC/DC for backup

Smart Features for Tough Conditions

Additional features help maintain accuracy regardless of conditions:

• Auto Zero Tracking (AZT) compensates for water accumulation
• Quick-connect waterproof connectors for reliable connections
• Internal electronics sealed against humidity

Real-World Performance

These aren't just laboratory tests - our scales prove themselves daily in the field:

• Coastal tournaments with salt spray and high humidity
• Mountain lake events with rapid temperature changes
• Desert tournaments with extreme heat and dust

Modern tournament scales have evolved far beyond simple weight measurement devices. They're sophisticated instruments engineered to deliver accuracy and reliability in conditions that would challenge most electronic equipment. When your tournament has to run regardless of weather, you need a scale that's ready for anything Mother Nature throws at it.
