0 Northlander Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Friend of mine at work just got one. Looks sweat. I like my American Angler. Going on 2 years with the same blade and no problems. I fillet a few fish too. I like the cig adaptor and the option to run off the truck or boat battery. Only drawback I see with the Rapala is its heavy.[This message has been edited by Northlander (edited 11-30-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Xplorer Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 N'lander, Which american angler do you have? I am planning on gettting one for the father-in-law for Xmas. How is it for doing crappies and perch? Xplorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 marine_man Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I've got one.. as does a friend of mine (who got me hooked on electric fillet knives in the first place)... and I love it. I've got the pack that is wired for 12V, which also comes with the 110 inverter... it's a handy tool when cleaning a mess of fish... I rarely use my regular knife any more...marine_man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deerslayer Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I bought a rapala last year and love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 #Boater# Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Just curious,I got one (American Angler) as a gift this summer but still have yet to use it. Would it work for cutting a deer up as long as I'm not going through bones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Northlander Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Chris I have the 12 volt D.C. Model No.31001. It has a 18' cord and I can run it off my cig. lighter, truck battery or Boat battery. I bet ya could run it off a extra Vex battery too but I didnt try that yet. Perch and Crappie are where it shines. Doesnt get dull on all those scales like my reg. knifes. Practice slowly on the first few fish and in no time you will be using it 90% of the time. Great for long trips all year round. I paid less than $20 for it on clearance at G.M. Wally world has them too.[This message has been edited by Northlander (edited 12-01-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NotoriousBLM Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 If you're old fashioned, do a google search for Leech Lake Knives. Sharpest fillet knife around, and you can't help but love the craftsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Northlander Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I agree but they are big $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Never Enough Time to Fish Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I personally have not used one but my brother in law has one and he likes it alot when cleaning a bunch of panfish. Merry Christmas.Never Enough.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Seabass77 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I got one last year for christmas. The first one, I had problems with it. The switch stuck and I couldn't get it to turn off. The manufacturer replaced it no questions asked and it's been great ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NotoriousBLM Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Thankfully, I rec'd the knife as a X-mas present from my step-dad, but they are pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
