Since all the fish cleaning stations are closed in the cold weather I was thinking about getting a 12 volt filet knife. I have always heard that they are not that good and was wondering what everybody was using. I didn't know if the rechargeable knifes are better or the 12 volt that will clamp to your battery. Thanks
We use the Rapala electric fillet knife set!! At wal-mart and also use their jump start wal-mart and charge every other trip!!Attachment 182181 during the walleye run on our home lake we clean a lot of fish!!
That looks sharp, so the 110 electric knife will plug into that jump pack?
I think the jump packs are 12V only.
I hated my 12v rapala and sold it. Too underpowerd for catfish.
Okay for crappie, but I just went back to the standard fillet knife. No battery= no problem.
But I don't catch enough to warrant a fillet knife.
I do own a black and decker for catfish. 110V
Yes we carry every where we go!! handy for knives,elecronics(GPS) ect!!Quote:

knock on wood I've had my Rapala electric knife for a looong time and it works great. My buddy has the rechargeable Rapala and he loves it
Rapala has a new Litium Ion rechargeable knife that should be much improved over their old rechargeable knife.
that is what my buddy has hes really likes it. I heard if you clean fish off your boat battery it drains it like a tub, but I've never tried it
I have an older Rapala knife that will run off 110, 12 volt battery clips or cigarette light plug. It is in a gray case instead of the newer ones in a black case. Love it and used it for years. The newer ones don't have the same rpm's as my older one. I now use the top of the line American Angler 110 volt knife and it's the best knife I have ever used. I think a inverter would be your best bet if cleaning many fish that way you still have the higher rpm's of a 110 knife and you don't have to worry about the battery being charged when your ready to use it.
I use american angler always had good luck with it,,,,
Yep, never leave the kitchen sink without it!Quote:

i have a newer rapala,u can use it 110 or 12 volts and came with a short and long set of blades and me personally i didnt like it and everyone that used it complained about it.Bought a new american angler 12 volt off craigslist someone got as a gift and never used it and it is the bomb ,puts the rapala to shame.I usually use the 110 adapter that came with the rapala though,have never tried it straight off the battery so i cant answer that.
I use a 12v every time I clean fish back boat up hook up clean done. I think mine is just as good . It is one of those cant remember the name its green.
