The Rapala is by a great margin the best filet I have ever used. Cleaned a few fish yesterday with it and it just zipped through the rib cage just like they were not there. You can just feel the quality the knife possess. It is well worth the money.

Might want to go with a cordless for when you're cleaning them at a boat ramp and there is no a/c outlet within range of a cord.

Rapala. Easy to find blades for. Ours has held up for 5 years and it's cleaned plenty of sandbass and catfish. Even use it at the coast when we clean the sheephead. Had mine for about 7-8 years before it burned up. 7-1/2" blades are everywhere but the short ones are hard to find. I finally found them on Amazon. I like the shorter ones for crappie and sandies. My ex bought me the one that burned up and it came in a carrying case with 2 sets of blades.

i am sure this has been asked a thousand times, but i received a BPS gift card and want to purchase an electric filet knife and/or a scale - would like to keep around $50 each (ie, i have $100 to spend) - have read reviews, but most from non-Texans (dont trust em' - I dont fish below ice) -would appreciate some Texas advice - I fish LMB, hybrids, sand bass, crappie, catfish, etc. - any help appreciated - thanks! Buy yourself a Bubba Knife. Best Filet knife I've ever owned.

I'm using a Rapala cordless, Lithium battery. Works great, charge lasts a very long time.
