Bassmaster Elite Series angler Ott DeFoe has announced the addition of ConnectScale to his sponsor lineup for the upcoming season.
The ConnectScale is a Bluetooth-enabled, water-resistant fishing scale that, when operated in conjunction with the product’s smartphone app, can help anglers capture important data that otherwise would not be recorded.
“There are benefits to the ConnectScale that will appeal to a wide variety of people,” said DeFoe. “It is very helpful for most fishermen honestly. Personally, I love the speed at which the scale and app work together to capture key factors and track my catches. That’s a huge time-saver for me.”
The process of using the ConnectScale is simple, DeFoe added.
“Upon weighing a fish the app captures the fish’s weight, time of day, air temp, and GPS location automatically over Bluetooth,” he said. “Right then or later I can then enter the species, length (using a tape stored in the scale), bait/lure, fishing technique, and water temp. I can also include a photo and any relevant notes I want to make about the catch.
“Using this data I track my fish catches and key in on patterns and trends that the data shows me. This data helps me establish patterns for future trips and catch more fish.”
Ben Arnold, the owner/founder of ConnectScale, LLC, said it was enjoyable working with DeFoe on the product’s development.
“He has provided invaluable feedback on the scale and made some great suggestions during the development process of the new tournament culling feature,” Arnold said. “Ott is the ultimate professional, both as an angler and as a business partner. We are very excited about this long term relationship with Ott and look forward to continuing to leverage his world-class fishing experience and knowledge as we continue to grow and develop new products.”
