The Grebe Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I use a Rapala electric with a cord and it gets cumbersome to say the least. I think I will buy a cordless next summer and see how that works? Anybody out there in the readership ever do a comparision test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abens1078 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I've never done a comparison myself but I have heard others say the cordless knives are great out of the gate but they can wear down quickly if you have to do alot of cleaning. My personal preferrence is to use and electric knife on big fish with thick rib bones. I get to go out to Lake Erie once a year and we use the electric knife to remove the sides and then debone everything with the old Rapala standby.I also like the electrics if I have alot of panfish to work through. For 15 bucks you just as well have one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 always have used an electric one and no complaints. I think a cordless would be good to have but will depend on the electric one for everyday use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunt4food Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks for the tip! I just picked one up tonight in Hudson Wi. Menards. I cleaned some pike today for pickling and I finally decided to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The electrics shine on Perch and Crappie where the scales really dul up a regular fillet knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
