If your going to look at the bubba blade look at the reviews. I have not had either one but many of the reviews that I have read on them say that you can get a Forschner fillet knife for about half the price and they are supposed to be a good fillet knife. You may also want to search some previous threads on the same thing. I am an electric guy, but I have used the wood handled Rapala and it worked good for me.
