Dr.meter PS01-V Fish Scale Review
Our verdict
The Dr.meter PS01-V Fish Scale costs $9.99 and carries a 4.6-star rating across 27,312 reviews, dwarfing the review counts of the RMDS-50 (126), RGSDS-50 (172), and Eastaboga Tackle combo (61) combined. Add 4,000+ bought in the last month, far above the 0+ shown by all three alternatives, and the demand signal is hard to ignore.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Some fish scales earn their spot in a tackle bag through sheer numbers rather than a detailed spec sheet, and the Dr.meter PS01-V Fish Scale is one of them. Priced at $9.99, it undercuts every alternative in this comparison, including the $28.50 Rapala RMDS-50, the $48.55 RGSDS-50, and the $285 Eastaboga Tackle gripper and scale combo. The listing does not break out a material, weight, or size spec for this unit, so the case for it has to rest on price, rating, and demand alone.
On those measures, the PS01-V stands apart. A 4.6-star average across 27,312 reviews is more than 75 times the combined review count of the RMDS-50, RGSDS-50, and Eastaboga Tackle combo, which total 359 reviews between them. Bought last month sits at 4,000+, while all three of those alternatives show 0+ recent purchases, a flat signal that suggests little current buying activity behind their listed ratings.
For an angler comparing scales purely on price and proven demand, the PS01-V's combination of a sub-$10 cost, a 4.6-star rating, and tens of thousands of reviews is difficult for the RMDS-50, RGSDS-50, or Eastaboga Tackle combo to match. The tradeoff is a listing with no material or capacity details to weigh against that demand.
Pros
- $9.99 price undercuts every other scale in this comparison
- 4.6-star rating across 27,312 reviews, the largest review base by a wide margin
- Bought 4,000+ times in the last month, far ahead of every alternative listed
- Rating of 4.6 stars matches the top tier shared by the pricier RGSDS-50
- Currently in stock with no availability issues noted
Cons
- No material, weight, or size specs are listed for this unit
- At $9.99, the lowest price in this set can raise questions about build quality that the listing does not address
- No stated capacity or unit markings, such as lb or kg, to confirm range
- Single low price point offers no size or bundle options in the given listing
Performance notes
Without a listed material, weight, or capacity spec, judging the PS01-V on build alone is not possible from the information here. What is available is price and demand data, and both point in the same direction. At $9.99, it is priced for impulse purchase and repeat buying, which lines up with the 4,000+ units bought in the last month, a figure that suggests this scale sees regular turnover rather than a single spike. A 4.6-star average holding across 27,312 reviews is difficult to sustain by chance at that volume, since even a modest share of negative reviews would pull the average down noticeably across a sample this large. The absence of detailed specs means buyers comparing on material or capacity should look to the Rapala models in this set, which do list weight and construction details.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating across 27,312 reviews is the standout figure in this comparison, far ahead of the review counts posted by the RMDS-50 (126), RGSDS-50 (172), and Eastaboga Tackle combo (61). Holding a 4.6 average at that scale of feedback is a strong signal, since large review pools tend to average out isolated complaints, meaning the rating reflects a broad and consistent pattern rather than a handful of enthusiastic reviewers. The 4,000+ bought-last-month figure reinforces that reading, showing the scale is still moving in volume rather than coasting on old reviews, especially set against the flat 0+ recent-purchase figure shown by all three alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Dr.meter PS01-V Fish Scale have so many more reviews than other scales?
At $9.99, it is the cheapest scale in this comparison, and its 27,312 reviews and 4,000+ bought last month suggest a much larger buyer base than the RMDS-50, RGSDS-50, or Eastaboga Tackle combo, which range from just 61 to 172 reviews and show 0+ bought last month each.
What is the Dr.meter PS01-V Fish Scale made of?
The listing available here does not include a material, weight, or size breakdown for this model. Buyers who need that detail before purchasing may want to check the Rapala RMDS-50 or RGSDS-50 in this comparison, both of which list a blend material and an exact weight in their specs.
Is a 4.6-star rating meaningful across 27,312 reviews?
Yes, a rating that holds at 4.6 stars across a sample this large, more than 150 times the RGSDS-50's 172 reviews, the largest review count among the alternatives in this comparison, reflects a broad and consistent pattern rather than a small group of reviewers.
