Direct drives represent a decades-old technology, and you can find them in industrial equipment as well as consumer products. But Genesis claims that its LiveDrive design can deliver three times as much torque as conventional direct drives of the same weight, is 100 times as precise, and costs much less.

In contrast, most high-performance actuators use strain-wave gears, which are particularly expensive because they must be machined to high tolerances.

This scale from ReelSonar has a bright back-lit LCD screen that’s easy to read, can weigh fish up to a whopping 99 pounds, and includes a 39-inch built-in tape measure.

It also comes with a matching fish lip grabber to make handling those big catches easier. Although it’s rust-resistant, it’s not waterproof, so it can’t be submerged — though with so many features at a super-affordable $20 price-point, it’s worth exercising a little extra caution.
