Hi all! New here but here's my 2 cents. I've used a number of different knives, could never get the hang of with anything but the cheap old Mr Twister green a yellow. I can fillet even some pretty small sunfish. They're cheap enough I can afford a new every couple of years. The short blades are all I use. Hope this helps.  to TFF

I do not recommend the Rapala model that uses a battery or AC power. The RPM's are to slow. I keep it to use if AC is not available, but always use a Mr. Twister if I have electrical power.
If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

I got the Rapala multi plug one 'cause I clean mine at the ramp. I like the battery clips or cig plug option. Yeah, it is slow rpm & gets hot after a while. But I don't clean multiple limits every day.  If we catch any bigger than these I'll need to get Ernest's Electric Chainsaw to fillet them.

Picked up 2 Mister Twisters on sale at Academy last summer on a closeout deal for $14.99 each and can't complain.

How about getting one custom made? I have some 1/16" 440-C stainless that I ordered by mistake about a year ago. It would make awesome fillet blades.
Don't look at the glass as half full or half empty. Look at it as a normal portion of water in a container that's too big.  <'))))<

I bought a Berkley 12v off ebay, and then bought a separate power supply with the cigarette lighter plug if I want to use it at home.
Nice knife. Zips through blues like they were butter.

Do they still sell the American Angler Knives. I have not been able to find them at Academy, Bass Pro or Cabela's. I'm in the DFW area. Thanks
