AFUNTA LCD-Scale Fish Scale Review
Our verdict
At $11.99, the AFUNTA LCD-Scale Fish Scale costs a fraction of the $28.50 RMDS-50 and $48.55 RGSDS-50, yet its 1,300 reviews outnumber both of those Rapala scales combined, with a matching 4.4-star average and 50+ bought last month, a stronger recent-demand signal than either one shows.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A quick weigh-in at the dock does not always call for a premium tool, and the AFUNTA LCD-Scale Fish Scale is built for that lower-stakes scenario. Made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and plastic, it weighs 0.1 kilograms and ships as a single piece, priced at $11.99, well under the $28.50 to $48.55 range covered by the RMDS-50 and RGSDS-50 in this comparison.
The review numbers back up the low price rather than undercutting it. A 4.4-star average across 1,300 reviews gives the AFUNTA scale far more review volume than the RMDS-50 (126) and RGSDS-50 (172) combined, and even more than the $285 Eastaboga Tackle combo's 61 reviews. Bought last month sits at 50+, a stronger recent-purchase signal than the 0+ shown by all three of those alternatives.
For anglers who just need a number on a fish before it goes back in the water, the AFUNTA scale delivers a 4.4-star rating that matches the pricier RMDS-50 exactly, at less than half the cost, while trailing the RGSDS-50's 4.6 stars by only 0.2. The plastic build keeps cost down, and the review volume suggests that tradeoff has not hurt demand.
Pros
- $11.99 price undercuts every Rapala scale in this comparison by at least $16
- 4.4-star rating across 1,300 reviews, more review volume than the RMDS-50 and RGSDS-50 combined
- Bought 50+ times in the last month, ahead of the RMDS-50, RGSDS-50 and Eastaboga combo, which all show 0+
- 0.1-kilogram weight makes it one of the lightest options to carry
- Single-piece, no-assembly design
Cons
- Built from ABS and plastic rather than the blend material used in the Rapala lineup
- 4.4-star rating ties the cheapest Rapala option, the RMDS-50, rather than beating it
- No stated weight capacity in the listed specs
- Bought-last-month figure of 50+ is solid against the alternatives here but still a modest total in absolute terms

Performance notes
A 0.1-kilogram weight and ABS-plastic build point to a scale designed for portability first, easy to hook onto a stringer or drop into a tackle box without adding meaningful weight to the kit. The single-piece count means there is nothing to assemble or attach beyond the scale itself. Compared to the blend-material RMDS-50, which weighs 28.07 grams, and the RGSDS-50, at 0.51 pounds, the AFUNTA unit is built with lower-cost plastic components rather than a blend material, which lines up with its $11.99 price sitting well under the $28.50 to $48.55 range those two Rapala scales occupy. The tradeoff is a plastic housing rather than the blended construction used on the pricier options, but the spec sheet does not list anything suggesting reduced capacity or function at this price.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average across 1,300 reviews is a far larger review sample than the RMDS-50's 126, the RGSDS-50's 172, or the Eastaboga Tackle combo's 61, all at a fraction of their prices. Bought last month sits at 50+, well above the 0+ shown by all three of those alternatives. That combination, a high review count holding at 4.4 stars alongside ongoing monthly purchases, suggests steady, low-price demand rather than a one-time spike, and the volume of reviews at this price point is hard to match among the alternatives listed here.

Frequently asked questions
Is the AFUNTA LCD-Scale Fish Scale as good as the Rapala scales in this list?
Its 4.4-star rating matches the RMDS-50 exactly, and its 1,300 reviews outnumber the RMDS-50 and RGSDS-50 combined, 126 plus 172. At $11.99, it costs far less than either Rapala model, though it uses ABS and plastic rather than the blend material found on those scales.
How much does the AFUNTA Fish Scale weigh?
It is listed at 0.1 kilograms and ships as a single piece, made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and plastic. That is lighter than the RGSDS-50's 0.51 pounds and in a different material class than the blend construction used on both Rapala scales in this comparison.
How many people are currently buying the AFUNTA LCD-Scale?
The listing shows 50+ bought in the last month, ahead of the RMDS-50 and RGSDS-50, which each show 0+, and ahead of the $285 Eastaboga Tackle combo, which also shows 0+ despite its much higher price. That gap suggests steadier recent demand for the AFUNTA scale than for any of the three pricier alternatives in this comparison.
