I wish I worked for Rapala----Can't make any money in Crappie Tournaments :crybaby2:
If one evaluates all the attributes and faults of the electric fish fillet knife, Rapala stands tall ---and---relatively inexpensive--the replacement blades are available in "almost" every sporting goods store, including Walmart .

http://www.amazon.com/Rapala-Lithium-Cordless-Fillet-Knife/product-reviews/B005ZU1AJ0/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

The customer reviews on amazon for the Cordless - Lithium Rapala Battery are outstanding compared to all the others. Including the $50 AC/DC all in one...

The attention required to charge the damn thing scares me... People (reviewers) say the batteries last though, and you can buy a backup battery for $24..

I'm with Fishless, my American angler has filleted hundreds of fish: stripers, crappie, SM, LM, catfish, Gills, Walleyes and has never failed me. I even dropped it in a livewell full of water last year at lake powell and went back to filleting after it dried out. I also like the skinny Piranha blades Bruce mentioned. Also, I really liked the knife I borrowed from Fishhawk at crappiethon.

Gotta give a thumbs-up to my American Angler. I dropped it hard the first day that I used it. I hear pieces rattling around inside it but it still keeps cutting. Filleted lots of redfish and red snapper with it and it keeps going. I have short and long Piranha blades for it. They work with many models of filet knives and they are sharp.

one thing about battery operated models always seems like the battery dies about 10 fish from being done? :dontknow: and you have to remember to charge them etc. the 12volt model plugs into any cigarette ligther or you can clip in on a battery directly, I got sold on the 12volt when fileting out on the boat on the lake like powell etc. I am sure the rapala is a good unit also

My Mister Twister is about 6-7 yrs old and still works perfect. It's a 110 volt. I have processed many fish in that time and it never fails. just putt'n in my 2 cents worth. :dance:

I have two of these that I have used for 9 years and have nothing but good things to say about them. Blades are available everywhere and inexpensive. Can't go wrong.
GOD BLESS

What about the Bubba Blade? Anyone have or use one? Saw a commercial during crappie masters and they fillet a slab one knife. The bubba 9" flex looked bad azz. I know when I use electric I always go back with filet knife and trim out rib bones separate. Just wondering if good investment? Also in my opinion I think would save lil time with only using 1 real sharp knife for everything. Was gonna start new topic but kinda fit.

Believe it or not I bought a Ginzu Electric knife at BPS and love it. Has all the bells and whistles (car charger, 12 volt, 110 volt, 2 sets of blades) If memory is correct I think it was about $40.00 bucks. Blades have stayed sharp through hundreds of fish and have never even thought of replacing them.

I wanna try a Bubba Blade also but my Kershaw works fine when I need a non-electric.
