Overview
Weighing barely an ounce itself, the Rapala RMDS-50 is a fish scale rated to a 50 pound capacity, sold as a single blend-material unit.
The model number and size field both point to a 50 pound capacity scale, smaller and lighter than Rapala's 227863 model, with the special-feature field simply grouping it under Rapala's fishing tools line rather than adding further detail.

Who it's for
Fits anglers who want a compact scale rated up to 50 pounds for weighing catch on the water. Not suited to anyone weighing fish that could exceed that 50 pound capacity.
