I suppose for the price its not bad but Id be sceptical of it being able to take a 40k weight on the fabric cord. iPersonally I got a berkely one which i have a few years and its great and 30 euro for somethin that will last years aint bad , I also have a budget mechanical scales which isnt very acurate and the only reason it has a place in my box is the fact it has a tape measure .

Heres a link to give you an idea whats available

i have one and find them grand for the price and they are spot on to with in 1 oz weight of the fish they state they can take up to 50lb but the most i ever put on mine was 11lb dont think you will go wrong for under 5 quid they sell them in gotcha angling in graystones for 10 euro
