Which corded electric fillet knife would you go with? Looking for something that will zip through a couple limits of fish(whitebass /crappie) without heating up or lockingup.
Bubba 110
VS
Rapala Heavy Duty Electric

I have the corded Bubba. Have had it for about 3 years now. Its a good knife. Ran through 2 limits of crappie yesterday with it with no problems. Only complaint I have with it, is the design of the handle gets a little uncomfortable after doing a lot of work. Good problem to have though!

I have the Bubba and absolutely love it. Had the Rapala years ago and felt like it lacked power. I actually preferred the cheapo WalMart electric knives to the Rapala.
All that said, I don't clean a double limit very often. But for what I catch the Bubba is great. Haven't noticed any heating or other issues.

When in doubt, set the hook.

I was not happy with my old 12V knife last year and ended up buying 2 110V. Tried too cheap at first and that was a waste of money. Very happy with the Mr Twister Piranha. I like the shape, flexible blade for the backcut, and the oscillation speed makes it cut crazy fast. Lethal. Sailing through those crappie now.

I use the Bubba electric on crappie and it zips thru them with no problem . I have never had any issues with it overheating either.
