I've been filleting bluegills with a standard knife but want to give an electric a try. What is your favorite and/or what do you recommend?
-
I have been using my green Mr Twister for 30+ yrs. It works well.
But I like my son Jeff’s cordless Rapala too
-
I’m on my second BD after the first 1 only lasted 21years so no complaints and at $14.00
-
Used a Hamilton Beach I found at Goodwill for $5 for longer than I can remember.( that might not be that long these day) it still runs and I use it for turkey on thanksgiving.
Bought a Walmart special for $15 and it works just fine. Ozark trail or something.
No need to spend a bunch for a name.

BD?

BD?
Black&Decker
I bought 2 back then ,
But everyone has their favorites
I’ve owned American eagle and mister twister good knives but they didn’t fit my 3 fingered paw , for big fish like salmon and steelhead , I use hand knives
-
On my second Walmart Ozark fillet knife and they work good through all the fish I have done with them. Like everyone has said do not need to break the bank for an electric knife, used a cheap bread knife for years that was just to see if I liked the electric side of things too, the Ozark one is just as cheap so went that route when I needed a new one.
-
My rapala works fine and doesn't heat up like my American did. that one would get really hot slicing up a bucket of perch.
-
Rapala R12.
-
X2

I don't clean fish anymore.
I toss them back.
Even my son Jeff prefers to toss them back.
We are booked on a head boat in a few weeks.
The crew will clean the fish for free (tip), so we will keep those.
Besides, they will probably be grouper and other great tasting saltwater fish.
That Rapala looks like Jeff's knife, but I'm quite sure his is an older Rapala.

All I can say is BUBBA cordless, 2 lithium batteries (lasted 7 days on a fly-in up north), four different sets of knives (smallest great for skinning walleye) and a great case. They are pricey but you get what you pay for imo. :thumbup_smilie:

I second this love my bubba cordless, batteries are long lasting and the knives are sharp. I use mine mostly for walleye and trout
-
I’ll third the Bubba Cordless! It’s so sharp it took some getting used to, but it works great on those Lake Erie hawg walleyes.

Why so many??
-
The problem I have with the Bubba is the handle is a little on the big side(I think) for someone who doesn't have big hands it seems a little hard to use...
I have 2 knives.. i have the old timer.. it has an internal lithium battery and works great!!!! It's just slow!!
I also have the rapala r12.. and this knife is amazing!!!!!!
My old timer will be the knife that someone else uses when cleaning a pile of fish and 2 of us are cleaning
Definitely my choice is the r12
-
X2 on Rapala knife
-
X3 on the rap all.

Have two rapalas after I could not find the blades for the 1st. This was 15-20 years ago and I swear they last and do a great job!
I carve everything with them. Cords could use some improvement.

Walter I'll carve some bacon off your back and feed it to you with a nice Chianti & Fava beans. Rapala might bog down?
