162 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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
Weighing a catch boatside usually means digging out a bulky scale that never balances well on a moving deck. The Booms TS2 Fish Scale is built from aluminum and weighs 0.33 kilograms, a lightweight setup meant for a tackle bag rather than a permanent spot on the dock. It ships as a single piece in blue, priced at $21.59.
That price puts it below every other fish scale in this comparison. The Rapala RMDS-50 runs $28.50, the Rapala RGSDS-50 costs $48.55, and the Eastaboga Tackle gripper and scale combo lists at $285. Even at the lower price, the Booms TS2 ties the Rapala RMDS-50 on rating at 4.4 stars and edges its 126 reviews with 162 of its own, though the Rapala RGSDS-50 still leads the group at 4.6 stars across 172 reviews.
Demand looks steady rather than explosive. Amazon lists 100 or more units bought in the past month, a reasonable clip for a budget-priced scale, and the 162-review base at 4.4 stars suggests buyers are generally satisfied with the aluminum build at this price point. For anglers who just need an accurate, portable scale without spending Rapala or Eastaboga money, the numbers line up in the Booms TS2's favor.

Performance notes
The Booms TS2 Fish Scale is built from aluminum, a material choice that keeps the unit at 0.33 kilograms, light enough to clip onto a tackle bag or belt loop without adding noticeable bulk. Aluminum also resists the corrosion that plagues scales exposed to saltwater spray or wet boat decks, which matters for anyone who fishes coastal water regularly. The single blue color option is a straightforward, no-frills choice rather than a lineup of finishes to pick from. Shipping as one piece with no additional hardware, the scale is meant to be usable straight out of the box. Compared to the blended-material construction of the Rapala RMDS-50 and RGSDS-50, the aluminum body here is the simplest build in the group, and at $21.59 it costs less than either Rapala model or the $285 Eastaboga combo, positioning it as a budget-first pick on paper.
What buyers say
The 4.4-star average across 162 reviews places the Booms TS2 in the same rating tier as the Rapala RMDS-50, even though the Rapala costs $28.50 versus $21.59 here. A review base of 162 is a moderate sample, not massive, but it is large enough to smooth out one-off complaints and reflect a consistent pattern rather than a handful of opinions. The 100-or-more units bought in the past month signals ongoing, steady purchase activity rather than a one-time spike, which usually tracks with a product that keeps satisfying repeat searchers rather than one riding a single promotional push. Compared to the Eastaboga scale's 61 reviews at 4.8 stars, the Booms TS2 has a larger sample size backing a slightly lower but still solid rating.
