Best Electric Fillet Knife's


Dry_Fly

Question

I used a electric fillet knife for the first time this last trip but the grip seemed so bulky. Really like how it cut along the back bone for the first cut but used my fillet knife after that. Want to get one but looking for something with a better feel for the hand and not so bulky any suggestions?

I use an American Angler 110 V knife with the Mister Twister blades. I like the wider blades for panfish and pike because you can follow the back bone easily. I can flip rib bones on anything using an electric. I one cleaned a 4" sunfish just to see if it could be done. It was a potato chip, but it worked. My neighbor's dad is amazed at the skinless and boneless panfish I gave him.

I have been using the Mister Twister ones for years and they do have a bulky feel to them but they work very well.The Rapala looks like it would fit your hand better but I have never tried one.It takes a little practice to get good with one but after a few fish it is pretty easy.I clean all my fish,Walleyes,Perch,Crappies etc and remove the

ribs with an electric.Here is how I do it.First cut straight down by head then turn knife and cut thru ribs following backbone to tail leaving skin connected by tail.Flip fillet over and fillet off skin.By leaving skin connected at tail filleting thru fish and removing skin can be done in almost one motion by holding onto fishes head.The trickiest part is removing the ribs and takes more practice.Hard to explain but you have to cut and turn your wrist at the same time following ribs,it is all in the wrist action.Best thing is no dull blades.

What I like about my rapala electric is that it is nice and compact and not too bulky. The motor stays cool I have used other knives that get so hot you can't hardly hang on to it. Plus I like that the one I got comes with 2 sizes of blades so you don't always have to have a hugh long blade on the knife. I sure if you get a rapala you won't be disappointed.
