RapalaR12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife Combo

Faster action and more aggressive blades than Bubba Handle is more comfortable than Bubba. Filleted 21 walleye with one battery, plenty of power.

Folks, it's no contest. I made the mistake of buying the Bubba Pro Series Knife. The only people who can possibly be happy with that knife have never used the R-12. This thing could chop the Bubba up like a piece of Swiss cheese. The torque, oscillation speed, weight, every facet is superior. The weight of the Bubba with no battery is the same as the R12 with battery, it's more ergonomic, it cleans fish so easily. Bubba? I never ruined a fish with any filet knife before other than the Bubba. It is so underpowered and you have to use so much force to get it to go through a panfish that it is easy to cut one in half. The R12 glides through effortlessly. Do yourself a favor and skip the Bubba.... I wish I would have....

This fillet knife is amazing! The blade is super sharp and flexible, making it so easy to fillet fish with precision. It’s well-balanced in the hand and cuts through fish like butter without any tearing. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, this knife is a must-have for any kitchen. Highly recommend!

So I use the heck out of my knife. Im a guide and clean a lot of catfish and crappie with them. They out preform any batt knife out there. Most people don't like the Bubba knife and to be honest I haven't used that one because I love this one. Plus many of my friends switched to the R12. Now it's not going to last forever. I have broke 2 or 3 but I clean a lot of fish. I keep a spare for when I break one. The blades are great but I have yet to find the replacement black blades. The cheap silver ones work though. I love the 2 batts. I have cleaned over 100 crappie on one batt. I like the thumb button and it fits great in my hands. I like the freedom of not having a cord. That's a game changer. The R12 blows away the old Rapala knife. Now, I have had the thumb button go out before. Ive had them quit oscillating on one side as well. Ive also had them stick on and have to pull the batt. But I still use them and think it's the best option at this point and time.

As a fishing guide, I’ve cleaned more rockfish and cod than I can count, and the Rapala electric fillet knife has been a total workhorse. It powers right through the thick rockfish scales and doesn’t flinch at the big rib bones on heavy cod.This knife saves me time and energy after a long day on the water, and it’s held up season after season. If you clean a lot of fish especially tougher species this is the knife you want on your table.

Knives quit locking into handle after a short period of use. Worked great while it worked.

Love this rechargeable fillet knife! The difference in speed is a game changer!

Great knife!!!!
